Here is the final concept illustration I did for costume designer Maya Mani of the upgraded Flash suit. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to work on iconic characters like The Flash. Hope you are all enjoying season 4 and can’t wait to see what the movie Flash does next week when Justice League comes out!” Poon captioned the concept art on Instagram. Scroll down to view the post.
In the meantime, Comicbook highlights the changes in the new Flash suit. According to the website, there is a slight change in the color. The new version is brighter red of the previous versions. Also, it has an “armour-like design.” The belt is smaller with more of gold in it.
Unfortunately, the concept art fails to reveal the upgraded features. Fans will have to go back to Season 4’s second episode where Cisco unraveled the technologically advanced new suit that he specially designed to facilitate Barry’s activities. However, Cisco is forced to remove a few functions after Barry’s experience with the suit goes wrong.
As reported earlier, Poon shared Arrow’s Mr. Terrific and Wild Dog’s upgraded suits. The concept art revealed Wild Dog’s new armoured look while costume for Mr. Terrific remains the same.
The Flash Season 4 starring Grant Gustin, Carlos Valdes, Candice Patton (Iris) Tom Cavanagh (Harry), Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West) airs Tuesdays on The CW. Stay tuned for more updates and information.
