I'd rather it was a bit better. ;)  I do hope that they'll go a different direction and clean some of the WB off of it...which, I know is a lot to ask of a spin-off, but I really like the Flash.

They didn't need to do a costume but I like it. I'm always glad when they make the switch from spandex or cloth to a leather or kevlar look. I hope this show takes off in a big way.

Not that I want to bring it up again but Laurel absolutely has anorexia (now, not then) and I'm really worried about her, she has lost like 20 lbs since Arrow started and it doesn't look healthy :(
Makes me wonder if her weight loss is actually tied into the current substance abuse issues of the character, or if it's coincidental......or if it's the actress trying to compete with Felicity for becoming a fan favorite again.
She's really become somewhat of a background character, when even Sin is getting more screen time than her, you know something's have changed

I'm still trying to get used to Barry Allen's look, but high hopes all around.

Maybe because I was used to, you know, the comics, but I thought Barry'd have a stronger jawline, or what you call it. Arrow's Roy Harper has a tougher-looking jaw, and that little chinstrap thing on the new costume reminds me of that observation.

Still, he did a decent job on the show, and I'd like to see how they expand the Arrowverse!

I think I've said this before, but for me, Wally West is the Flash. Mind you, I have nothing against Barry, but growing up, Wally was the Flash.

Spoiler
That being said, after re-watching the episodes with Barry, I think that WB is maybe over-doing the clumsiness/tardiness of the character (For example, his first appearance, his train was late, but it was the second train, because he missed the first). But I would like to see how he portrays the Flash before jumping to opinions, after all, it's better to have all of the information before making my opinion.

The Mask looks alright, but I'd really like to see the rest of the costume before I make an actual opinion on it.

I'm glad to see John Wesley Shipp returning to the Flashverse, I think that's pretty cool for those of us who watched the original Flash series. As I stated elsewhere, I would love to see him portray Max Mercury, but I'm assuming he'll more than likely end up playing Jay Garrick.

As for the whole "Black Canary" debate, I wasn't going to join in, but I would have preferred that the character of Laurel end up as the Canary, but realistically, her presentation really doesn't live up to the part. She comes across as being weak, needy, whiney, and completely non-athletic. Now this is nothing against Katie Cassidy as a actress/person/individual, but she just doesn't come across as being physically/mentally strong enough to be the Canary. Now, I don't totally agree with how the Canary is being portrayed in the show, but I'd rather it be done this way than to see Cassidy in the role.

Costume looks pretty good to me. I hope the show lives up to it.

 So cool,  the dark red looks awesome, I want  to wear one just like it. Jk  I'm fat.
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

Need to see a better body shot but it's looking pretty good so far.

Agreed. The pic doesn't look bad, but I would like a full, standing pic. Maybe a side view as well.

Urg, the full costume looks a good deal worse.

Yeah, liking the costume quite a bit less now, and he really doesn't fill it out well at all.

What's up with the chest emblem? Ain't it supposed to be a yellow bolt over a white circle?

Also, the costume reminds me of New 52 Johnny Quick, for some reason. Maybe it's the scales/netting thing.

Huh, don't know what to think of it. Hate the symbol. Have to admit its closer to the comics than I thought it would be.

It could work, but like I said, symbol I don't like and the belt looks weird. It's OK all in all.

The OG flash series costume was better.  I don't know what to think of this one.  Perhaps, it looks better when he's in motion.

It looks like the kind of looser costume they'd use for stunt and movement work.

Hmm...I don't know. I don't hate just yet, but it's kinda bland and tacky. Still need to see it under proper lighting and effects.
