One of the best TV costumes i've seen

What? The flash has been on point with just about all of their costumes. The main flash and reverse flash costumes were both perfect. And stuff like captain cold was cleverly done while still ending up looking great and in line with the character.

He's from an alternate universe. I think that's justification enough.
He looks as perfect as anyone could have expected. So excited.

I'm excited! Hope the CGI is just as good as season 1.

Squee!
That looks OK, I guess, but I'm not a fan of the burgundy red.

As someone who never read the comics . . . this looks goofy as fuck. What's keeping the clunky metal helmet from flying off? The rest is OK but the helmet is just goofy.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's also takes inspiration from World War 1 helmets, too:

it's kinda hard to fuck up a costume as basic as Jay Garrick though.
he does look great though! I just wish -- much like I do for Barry -- that the red was lighter.

The only thing I'd change about Barry is not having the emblem look like a button he got off an oversized birthday card anymore. Woven into the fabric would be sweet
And yeah the red could be lighter.

Jay Garrick is supposed to look goofy and old fashioned. He hails from the golden age of the 40's which was a simpler time for super heroes.
A couple more shots of Jay:
I'm halfway through season 1 of this show and it is SO MUCH better than Arrow. And I want to list a few reasons why:
1. Acting, I really think the acting overall here is a notch above what we have seen on Arrow. Every actor really grows into their own character. There aren't any "Laurel" or "Thea" stuff going on here where they are inconsistent almost episode to episode.
2. Extremely good supporting cast. Unlike Arrow, I love every single support cast character, even Eddie Thawn is such a likable dude (even when you know he's supposed to Barry's 'rival' for Iris). Joe West is one of the best "father-figure" characters, Harrison Wells, Cisco are all awesome. There are no annoying characters who scream and whine.
3. Every cast member seems important. You really do care about the supporting cast in Flash. Unlike Arrow, where characters like Felicity or Diggle seem useless and just stand there and talk and talk and talk and talk. And Roy was severely underused and brooded nonstop.
3. It's funny as hell, especially when you don't expect it. Cisco is a great comedy-relief character (even though that's not who he is). Even Barry himself has great comedy timing.
4. The freak-of-the-week stuff is better. All the villains are fun, and they seem like good people who just want to challenge the Flash, just cuz they can. Not because they want to become some mob boss or take over the city or some nonsense like that. Even if you take Harrison Wells off the show, you can just have freak episodes and it will still be better than Arrow.
5. Harrison Wells. Ok, it's a toss up between him and Slade Wilson. I'm only halfway through the season he's not better than Slade yet, but he might surpass him by season's end.
6. Special Effects. Ok, sometimes they look crappy but there are other times they really surprised me (the train scene). It takes a dump over Arrow's "special effects".
7. The story. All this science-fiction mystery is definitely better than Arrow's "Batman" stuff. Hell, I think Flash's flashbacks are really good too. The best parts of Arrow were the Island flashbacks, I thought they should have focused way more on the Island instead of the present day stuff, but I enjoyed what it was.
I'm gonna try to finish the season this weekend, I know I will be blown away.

The supporting cast and chemistry between them all is definitely what sets it way above arrow for sure. Plus gustin is a better lead
If they ever decide to consistently pollute the team with soap drama and in-fighting im sure the charm will disappear, hopefully they learned from the arrow criticisms and keep a good balance

Yeah Slade is great but Wells became my favorite DCTV villain. Which episode are you on?

I guess it has to be this way for production reasons but as I remember Barry always had the symbol as part of the fabric, not something separate. Wally had it as an icon attached to the suit.
Then again, Barry in this is pretty much a mix of the two.

I get that, I just don't get people saying it looks good . . . it's goofy and completely nonfunctional. I guess it's just a case of people judging based on closeness to source material rather than if it looks good or makes sense.
At the very least I expect some wisecracks from Cisco about how dumb the helmet is!
Welcome to the Club.
Barry's suit uses a bunch of nonsensical jibber jabber to explain why it doesn't burst into flames. Oliver's suit is made of thick hot leather that isn't good for movement. It doesn't matter if it's functional, as long as it looks good and somewhat plausible.
And goofy is the name of Jay Garrick's game.
Bwahahah! xD

Hype is building faster than the singularity
The design is there but the proportions are off. The belt is too low and the gloves and boots make him look boxy and awkward, a bit more like Frankenstein's monster than a superhero. And WWI helmets look bad on pretty much everyone.

Oh my goooooooood it looks AWESOME!

The helmet could at least have a strap or something holding it on.
I will accept black holes and time travel, but that hat not flying off when he runs is BS.

The way DC Collectibles is going, I hope we get a Jay Garrick figure. That costume, his aura is just so schway.
The first appearence of the hat was flying off xD

Not a single damn person.
Especially not after Identity Crisis.
No one has ever said that they are "hyped" for Doctor Arthur Light.

Can't believe I missed three pages of this thread.
NeoGAF's one and only Reverse Flash checking in. Don't accept cheap imitations.
You must've missed the part where Iris is a non-factor for most of the first season. No different from how Arrow treats the women on their show sometimes.

You were junior'd? lol
Yes, for deceiving the thousands of Gaffers who were shocked that the revival of cult hit Felicity 13 years on wasn't actually true.

Lol. That makes the Arrow thread even funnier.
Sorry for the junioring though. Temp or permanent?
