Arrow season two introduced the audience to Barry Allen, otherwise known as “The Flash,” in preparation for the superhero to get his own TV show. A couple weeks ago, we got our first image of the new costume, set to be worn by Grant Gustin as he stars in the CW show. Now, set images from the actual shoot have started surfacing on the web.
So far, I’m not in love with the costume from the front. The helmet looks like it has antennas, and since Ant-man is also dressed in red, that’s the first thing I jump to. And as someone who happens to be a track runner, the outfit looks both too hot and too stiff to run in comfortably. But maybe I’m being picky. Take a look for yourself below:
And check out more set photos here. The Flash is set to premiere later this year on the CW.
The past week has seen some exciting news for the DC Universe currently planned for television. Two major announcements have been made this past week, one about the CW’s spinoff of Arrow revolving around The Flash, and the other concerning the future production currently titled “Gotham.”
The Flash
On Friday, DC released the first image of the Flash’s costume for his upcoming TV show (starring Grant Gustin in the title role). Notably, the costume has a red color slightly muted from the comics, and the lightning bolts are flat to the helmet, rather than sticking out (a nice touch of realism– having them stick out makes it way too easy for supervillains to grab your helmet). Take a look:
Gotham
The new DC endeavor doesn’t have a lot of information beyond a concept at this point, but there has been some new casting news. Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (later known as Batman and Catwoman, respectively), will be played by David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova. The actors will be playing childhood versions of their characters, as the show will be taking place around the time of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne’s death– long before Bruce Wayne dons the cape and cowl.
