Flash's Batsuit-Inspired Costume Steals the Show in New Image
The Flash's alternate Barry Allen dons a unique costume made from batsuit parts in the latest image release This multiverse adventure sees Ezra Miller play two versions of the superhero alongside Sasha Calle's brand-new Supergirl and Michael Keaton's Batman from the Tim Burton-directed movies
A fresh image of The Flash has recently been released, providing a more detailed glimpse of the alternate Barry Allen's Flash suit, which seems to have been crafted from a batsuit. Starring Ezra Miller as the lead character, who plays two different versions of the superhero, this new iteration of Barry Allen will also feature Sasha Calle as Supergirl, introducing a brand-new version of the character. In addition, the film will see multiversal chaos as the team joins forces with Michael Keaton's Batman from the Tim Burton-directed movies.
The Flash is a movie that has been in the making for almost a decade and follows Barry Allen's attempt to save his mother in the past, resulting in a domino effect of timelines colliding. This explains the pairing of dual Flashes in a humorous way. Total Film Magazine has now unveiled a new image that showcases the classic Flash alongside the new alternate Barry, providing an excellent view of the Flash suit that has been retrofitted from one of Keaton's batsuits. Take a look at the image below:
Evidently, it seems both Flashes will be in a rush to save reality, having no time to make this second Barry an official suit of his own.
Why Is The Flash Wearing A Reconstructed Batman Suit?
In the upcoming movie, it appears that the alternate Barry Allen will not have his powers from the start. Trailers show both Barrys being struck by lightning simultaneously, much like the Flashpoint storyline from the comics that loosely inspired the film. This means that the second Barry would never have had a need for a supersuit before, as he likely wasn't a speedster until now.
With the world in crisis and timelines needing to be restored due to a Kryptonian invasion led by General Zod, the second Barry will have to make do with what's available in the Batcave. This explains the spray-painted red and yellow batsuit, shaved-down pointed ears, and reflective tape. It's a humorous concept that will help this new Barry fit in with the other costumed heroes when The Flash hits theaters on June 16th.
