First Image of Grant Gustin as The Flash Released

HYPED

Wish they did this good with Slade's costume.

And is it weird that I'm not hyped for this show at all? I'm sure once i see more pics and vids I will be though.

I'm excited. Count me in.

cool !

Okay, so another user turned the brightness up and posted this:

And it looks like you were totally right. I was mislead by by the fact that they sculpted depth into the brows on the cowl, and the shadows of the original picture blocked out most of that line in the front going down the middle of his head. My mistake.

You were 100% correct. It was the lack of lighting.

He already appeared in 3 episodes of Arrow sans hair dye. What sense would there be in doing it now?

Hahaha! He's totally wearing a red leather jacket. You can tell from the collar.

love it

This looks pretty awesome

Not bad, but would like to see more of the costume.

The costume is fine, but on him it kind of makes his head looks big. If I'm being on it.

Well I have no hope for the quality of the show, but at least the costume looks awesome.

Looks great! My only problem with it is the ear-piece. Where are the circle things? :))

YEP, looks dope so far!!! i dont understand how ppl are looking at this negatively, what more were you REALLY expecting?

I like it a lot

Looks great

It looks good

@themanintheshoe:

I'm glad he's not older. Look at Smallville. The show went on for 10 years and "Clark" certainly aged in those 10 years. Not that Tom Welling looked bad in year 10, but the character of Clark was in high school for the first 2 or 3 seasons, so by the end of the run, he should have been, what, around 26, 27? Welling was in his 30s by that time. You could see the age in his eyes and he was getting a little tummy on him.

If The Flash show goes a good, long time, I think I'll be happy that they've cast a young guy for the role.

It looks good. I can see how people might think he's wearing a leather jacket, but it's probably just a zip up jumpsuit. It would be difficult to hide the seams of his suit on the show so it makes a little more sense to give it an almost noir hero neckline. The hair color still doesn't matter.

The mask should cover the nose. Makes it harder to identify someone when you can't see their nose.

looks dope love it

@thecheesestabber: if it makes you feel any better john Wesley snips might be gay Garrick so you will have an older flash as well.

@obsidian_raindrop1: ...Gay Garrick?

Looks great to me.

Up close it looks really well done. I hope that the rest of the costume is just as good!

@dernman: this is flash year one though so...

Just think the chin straps weird but cool costume

I like it. I like how they're able to make it look good in live-action while still maintaining the comic look. Definitely be checking this show out, since I think a Flash show when done right could be awesome.

Looks better than I expected.

Hopefully the show is interesting.

nice, hope the show is legit

@thecheesestabber: oh god I just busted a gut.

So what do we call him now? He isn't the scarlet speedster, so what? The dark red runner? The burgundy sonic-boomer? The brownish bolt?

Looks great.

Barry is the only character this show has gotten right. lol

Not bad

Hopefully it won't be as dark in the actual show, the color as is has me worried that they are going to make him dark and edgy. Don't really like chin piece either.

@juliedc: have you SEEN him in Arrow? ?? He ain't "dark an edgy". Plus, a bright red, costume just looks silly in real life.

@the_stegman: yes I have seen him as Barry Allen NOT the Flash so my worries are still legitimate and will remain so until I see his show. And I VEHEMENTLY disagree with you on whether a bright red costume is silly. I correlate dark colors with the tone of a show or movie and I am tired of everything made in the image of darkness, there is enough grimdark, it's time for something fun. So hopefully it won't look as dark in the actual show.

@nightwing4: ?

Looks amazing. Any other opinion is wrong,.

The scales are armor, in fact.

I think if they did something like this, minus the sash and the Helmet it would look completely amazing. All Noble and Badass.

and what happens when years past and he still doesn't look like he's grown into adult Flash because he has one of those faces?

Anyway I only mentioned it to find out if my guess was right on why the image didn't sit well with the poster. An image that makes his face look even younger than it already does.

Great looking, I'm so pumped for this.

@patrickborkland: I always felt Cap A's costume looked more like Flash since Flash is well far older. I think both costumes ditched the "ear lightning thing" for practical reasons. Although the older 90's flash costume did have it...

Cap was created in the 40s. Barry was created in the late 50s.

@ Captain13: Actually, Flash was created in the 40's, first appearance. Jay Garrick. Someone said the character Flash, that's why I had said that. Costume wise, there's very little similarities that's kind of like saying Deadpool is very similar to Deathstroke but there are some differences. Know what I mean?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_(comics)

Captain A was 41, so technically Flash is a year older...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America

I gotta say, Flash and Captain America look nothing alike. The only thing similar is the top head piece but flash's was always a mask, where is Captain A's was more of a little hat top and the ear things are above his ear, where is Flash's are ON his ear area. Look, how do these look similar?

Flash:

Cap A:

He is gonna chafe soooo bad if they go with leather like they have with almost everyone else.

Looks alright.

Wish they'd covered the cheeks, would've made it more believable.

I don't like it. There is just something off about it. Maybe it's just the side view which makes it look odd. It looks like it's made out of leather and the helmet seems really clunky. I think if they chose a thinner material, it would look better.
