THE FLASH Featurette Reveals What Barry Allen's Costume Looks Like Minus The Special Effects THE FLASH Featurette Reveals What Barry Allen's Costume Looks Like Minus The Special Effects

A new featurette for The Flash showcases behind-the-scenes footage from the DC Comics adaptation, including what Ezra Miller's costume looked like before all those, well, flashy special effects were added.

Superhero movie costumes rarely look as good on set as they do when we see them on the big screen. Throwing it way back to when Captain America: The First Avenger was shooting in 2010, you may recall some fans arguing that it looked like Chris Evans was decked out in a quilt! 

Now, we have a new featurette for The Flash which shows Ezra Miller suited up on set. Without those red lines running through the Scarlet Speedster's costume, it certainly looks a little different and not quite as impressive as what we've seen in trailers and TV spots...which was to be expected!

The suit has actually been a sticking point among many fans for some time, especially as it's not how a lot of people imagined Barry would look on screen. 

We'd say it looks pretty cool in motion, however, and the video even sheds some light on how the scenes with the hero running were shot. Interestingly, The Flash's suit appears to have a collar here, though we'd assume that was to make it easier for Miller to put on and remove the cowl.

Check out the featurette below. 

Worlds collide in The Flash when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to.

That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian...albeit not the one he's looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

The movie stars Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdu, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, and Michael Keaton.

The Flash races into theaters on June 16.

Of Course, More Josh Wilding commentary.

The piece looks amazing, it is behind the scenes, AND IT IS HOW these movies are made.
They are offering you a mere glimple into the process, Yet all your monkey brain can do is to criticize.

It's so obvious this site is dying for this movie to fail.
It's pathetic. I thought this was a comic book movie fan site.
Guess not.

@TempleRod - It’s a comic book movie site, not a DC fanboy echo chamber.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 6:51 AM
@PlusUltra - Don't want any echo chambers.
Just want a place for true discourse.
This site is laughable. The amount of anti-DC bias here is a joke.
Everyone knows it.

@TempleRod - It’s not anti-DC bias. WB/DC [frick]ed over the IP, so nobody’s got any goodwill left for the franchise. It’s really that simple. Shit movie, after shit decision, it’s a genuine shock now when they actually do something halfway decent. That’s the difference between Marvel and DC. Marvel at least hit the benchmark of decent. DC rarely do that on their best day.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 6:59 AM
@PlusUltra - LOL.

Ant-Work is the benchmark of decent?
Ant-Man 3 sucked shit. So did Thor 4.
So did Eternals.
So did Black Widow.
So did Captain Marvel.
So did every almost every single MCU+ TV show.

Hardly any 'benchmarks of decent'. All Shit.

@TempleRod - And you say you want discourse, but didn’t even come into this article even talking about the suit. Just how Josh is this or that and spewing the whole anti-DC rhetoric.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 7:03 AM
Even besides the Pure Shit level,
the middle ground of the recent MCU is nothing to crow about.
No Watts HOme, Shang Cringe, and Various other 90s level TV shows later.
Sure, they weren't utter abominations. But not much to make people confident in your output.
Especially with things like She-Hulk and MS Marvel standing up as the worst things ever put out by the MCU.

What a mess.

@PlusUltra - You cannot deny that Josh propels this.

Just look at this article. It's ridiculous.

@TempleRod - Dude, most people are pretty negative about the MCU compared to its heyday. I don’t think you’re going to find many people claiming the quality has been high lately. Regardless, at least the first three phases were great. DC has produced so many terrible movies that they’ve decided to start over. And, they can’t even get that right. It really shouldn’t be difficult to start over, but for some reason DC is completely screwing that up, too.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/13/2023, 7:13 AM
@TempleRod - Ant-Man 3 did suck. A rare miss for Marvel. But that’s Ant-Man 3, Marvel’s 31st movie. Man of Steel sucked right out the gate. So did its sequel, and the sequel after that. Hence why we’re getting a reboot, and why this Flash was even made. Marvel delivered on making decent CBMs when DC couldn’t. That’s why people are completely soured on the brand, while Marvel still gets the benefit of the doubt.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 7:17 AM
@PlusUltra - LOL.
If you thought Man of Steel sucked, I don't even know why we are talking.

I see know you are just "of that sort". You don't really know movies.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/13/2023, 7:18 AM
@TempleRod - It’s called goodwill. While Marvel were building it, DC squandered it all.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 7:20 AM
@PlusUltra - That's just pathetic.
Man of Steel
Dawn of Justice and
ZS Justice League, are just entirely a different level than MCU trash.

And even tho I say 'trash', there's been some good ones. I even admitted Iron Man 1 is great.
There's been others.
But mostly forgettable trash.
It's okay. Not EVERY movie has to be great. A lot of them can suck.
THATS STILL Okay.

@PlusUltra - Man of Steel is one of the BEST Comic Book Movies we have seen out of the modern era.
Even Michael Shannon seems to agree in recent comments.

AT least Man of Steel strove to accomplish something. Not like your cookie cutter Ant-Man garbage.
Or your Doctor Strange. Or your Spider-Man or your Thor or name whatever other replaceable nonsense Marvel comes up with next month.

FireandBlood - 6/13/2023, 7:26 AM
@TempleRod - Man of Steel sucked donkey dick, and the rotten foundation it laid lead to a disaster of a cinematic universe whose characters are quite literally being marooned in another disastrous DC universe that also lead to a reboot. You can’t even make this shit up, it’s that dumb.
TempleRod
TempleRod - 6/13/2023, 7:28 AM
Next thing will be Fantastic Four and X-Men,
and @PlusUltra trying to defend how they aren't just cash grab rip offs of the comic books.

Just done with overpaid casts. That bitch and moan about the experience afterwards.
That's because Marvel doesn't make movies.
They make theme rides that no one enjoys riding.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/13/2023, 7:30 AM
@TempleRod - But it fumbled and achieved nothing. The fruits of its labour is a universe that’s being rebooted, while that “cookie cutter” universe is the biggest franchise of all-time. At some point man, you’re gotta wake up and smell the roses. There’s still some good DC content out there, but shilling for this cinematic universe or the next isn’t it.

@PlusUltra - I am excited about Gunn taking DC to new heights.
Very excited, Not going to lie and excited to see this whole next block of movies over with.
Again, Not going to lie.

But I will also say that from Man of Steel to ZSJL, Wonder Woman 1 included, That is an amazing run of movies, that I think holds more value than the MCU in it's entirety.
All that silly "Endgame" stuff included. Zach Snyder's DC held authority for actual character stories.
MCU held authority for being the best place to bash one toy against another.

Two different things. You can have yours. I'll have mine.

@TempleRod @PlusUltra

Going to weigh in on my own opinion here.

MCU has a solid track record because they slowly built their foundations. Agreed their stuff right now is hit or miss (mostly miss). I enjoyed Wakanda Forever and Guardians. The TV stuff was meh, and for what it's worth i dug She-Hulk for trying something different, but the VFX and its continuations of boring Hulk was just a let-down.

Ad for DC, I don't think MoS was trash. I quite enjoyed it and I felt it deserved a true sequel, rather than rushing to build that shared Universe and making Superman a supporting character in his own movie. Henry Cavill deserved a proper chance to shine in the sequel, but we never got fully got there. He only really started to show promise right at the end of MoS until they doubled down on his sulking in BvS, i would have much preferred we saw the Clark Kent that was right at the end of MoS grow as a character with the double identity in BvS, but DC pushed and Snyder preferred Batman over Superman anyway. Joss Whedon at least tried to brighten him up in Josstice League, but just made things worse with PsuedoMustacheMan.

I believe the Suicide Squad movie would have been good before they higher ups got involved due to the poor reception of BvS, which also isn't a bad movie (neither is it great), but they took to many liberties. Snyder is more focused on telling a story that looks cool but strays to far away from source material. My biggest gripe with his films.

What I will say about the DC movies(up to now), they all felt different to each other, whereas Marvel ( Avengers, Black Panther 1&2 and Winter Soilder aside) all feel like they came from the same film maker, hardly allowing artistic freedom.

I think Gunn will correct this and will see how it goes in a couple years with the new Superman.

@UniqNo - This sounds like a fair take to me.
UniqNo
UniqNo - 6/13/2023, 7:49 AM
@TempleRod - Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1 (and some of 2), Aquaman, Shazam 1 and 2 (mostly), Gunn's Suicide Squad were all enjoyable films. But so were most of the Marvel ones, but because Marvel had Feige, they were able to interconnect better and seamlessly, but at the cost of more artistic freedom.

DC's approach (at least with other aside from Snyder) in giving some artistic freedom allowed the director to leave their own stamp, but this made it difficult for the higher ups to make that interconnected world because certain things wouldnt align or play well on screen...which i also understand.

@TempleRod - I was with you on your first couple comments. Then you went from it’s not right to bash a comic book franchise on a comic book loving site to let’s bash the MCU. Lol but yeah MOS was a pretty good movie. I wasn’t a fan of BVS theatrical but the ultimate edition was ok WW2 was crap and SS was crap. But aquaman Shazam and WW were fantastic. As for everyone talking track record regarding DC movies compared to MCU I’d say the MCU had just as many misses in those first couple phases like Ironman 2&3 Thor 2 Antman 2 that’s 4 movies right there and don’t get me started on captain marvel black widow and eternals lol

But tbh I’m loving almost everything the MCU and DC has delivered. People complain too much even the craptastic movies we got were (mostly) watchable and I got some kind of enjoyment out of them
