I have no desire to see Flash in a "lightning-bolt jacket." That was one of Smallville's biggest failures (the writers seemed to have hated Superman anyway). Nor do I have any desire to see a kid in a body stocking.

The suit didn't make Lois and Clark a good show and the lack of suit didn't hurt Smallville as much as non fans think. Though I do concede the payoff at the end should have been bigger. If the flash has a slow build toward the final suit that's probably a good choice. Can't seen anything with that 90s suit working these days. Pure cheese. Can a compromise be found? Football style pants with a more jersey like shirt? Dunno

I like the material there, but not the hood. Plus it needs the logo. But it's close.

Do I think we should get an ultra-padded, flocked suit? Nah. But honestly, looking at MoS and ASM, something more modern but not so blatantly spandex shouldn't be too hard. Something maybe like the Injustice costume, but less "armored?"
The action figure looks more proportioned:

Def too much padding. But the pants are about right. The shirt maybe can be a simple under armour long sleeve with the logo.

I guess I'm just too old school. I want my superheroes to look like superheroes, otherwise why bother? Just make a generic show like Heroes where you don't have to bother with suits.

I think I'm with you for the mostpart. But you can't argue against the fact that a risky suit can break a show if not done right. Arrow hit the mark, but the have somewhat a benefit of going leather and tactical without looking cheesy. Leather or rubber, bright red and yellow. It's going to show on screen something awful. Something more athletic Lycra, jersey, etc works

More than the costume, I'm actually more worried about the speed effect. I thought they made Clark in smallville move way too fast. Moving fast was treated like stopping time. Did not like that.

Because none of these products are made for you. They're made for teenage billy and teenage jilly. Mom too. And Nostalgic Dad.

Wow looking at this photo, I can't believe the guy that played Cyborg, Lee Thompson Young ( Who was The Famous Jett Jackson) died this year by suicide

Just like what we've seen with the X-Men, the attempt to compromise "realistic" looks with comic looks fails completely.
I think that Flash was in the first episode of Walking Dead this season.

I'll say it again, because, as much as I want Batman to have it, I think The Flash's may be my favorite: I'd love to see the New 52 suit. I don't know if they'll do it on this show or save it for the inevitable film version (providing they're successful enough to get one off the ground), but I love the idea behind the lines on that costume; that the suit sort of acts as a "containment suit," and every time he taps into the speed force and uses his power, the lines light up, almost providing a window of sorts into what's going on with all of the energy and static electricity crackling and such.
