Check Out The Flash's Full TV Costume

We've seen the mask and now the rest of the speedster's attire has been revealed. Check it out!

The Flash has his very own pilot heading to the CW! Grant Gustin made his debut as Barry Allen on Arrow and we witnessed how he gets his powers. However, watching Barry step into a costume and seeing those powers in action is being saved for his pilot. We previously got a look at Gustin wearing the mask, but now a much better look at the full costume has been released! Prepare your eyes, Viners.

The pilot's director and executive producer, David Nutter, says they team behind the show is thrilled with the design. "I hope the fans who treasure the character are as excited as we are by what costume designer Colleen Atwood has achieved with this latest version of The Flash’s iconic suit." Well, what do you think? Do you share his enthusiasm or are you not exactly the biggest fan of this costume? Don't be shy, share your thoughts with us below!

The head... why does it look bloated? Also, where's all the yellow gone? Especially the yellow boots

@kennyshat: That's good to hear. It might get me some hate but I'm not a big fan of arrow so I don't really watch the show. I'm excited for this but I really hope I don't have to watch arrow to know what's going on here.

My first instinct when looking at this photo was that something wasn't right. I quickly realized that the problem was that the lightning bolts on his head should be higher and a bit further back and stick out above his head. That would alleviate the big empty space atop his head which is why everyone's saying his head looks so big. I agree the lighter red instead of white for the symbol background looks awkward, but I didn't notice that right away. And I think the image posted by The Stegman (a couple posts before mine) looks worse than the official image, and I'll tell you why. To me this looks like something someone threw together instead of an official superhero costume. That's just my two cents.

This makes me sort of sad. Flash's costume is really hard to pull off on film, and this may be the best anyone can do (I hope Snyder can do better), but this still looks goofy.

I agree, Flash is VERY hard to pull off in live action, this is good /enough/ but still not what I want, then again, I can't really see it practically.

Me too.

I actually think they have done very well for a TV show, I think it looks quite good. I'll reserve my final judgement til I see it in action though

Here's hoping they change the symbol to white however. (Plenty of time to change things if the pilot is a success and the show gets picked up).

The new live action images look much better. I like the suit, it could be better, but it is interesting.

I was beginning to like Grant Gustin in the Arrow episodes, but I still couldn't see him as Barry Allen. He would make a better Wally West or Bart Allen because he's as young.

I'm definitely looking forward to the pilot episode and how the special effects will look like!

See this, Fox you idiots? This is how you make a costume work in live-action while maintaining the comics look, not dressing characters in stupid black leather. Anyway, looks really good. Most likely gonna give this show a shot.

Lol.

Girlfriend caught me reading some of the comments ... and stated emphatically that we comic fans go into far, far more detail, are far more picky and opinionated and get far more emotional / upset over comic book heroes' costumes and their aesthetics than she or her girlfriends have ever come close to achieving whilst clothes shopping or buying new shoes.

"Oh, the shade of red is just so off putting!! I wish they had added more crimson or purple"

Lol.
