Unveiling the Breathtaking Real-Life Transformation of The Flash Costume

The Flash's suit in Ezra Miller's DC superhero film looked significantly better in real life compared to the final CGI version. Despite the long production process and anticipation surrounding Andy Muschietti's The Flash, the film ultimately disappointed in various aspects, particularly its visual effects. Ed Wade's set images of the Scarlet Speedster's costume showcase its superior appearance outside of the movie.

Muschietti has defended The Flash's bad CGI, explaining that the VFX work was actually intentional. Despite his justification, some just couldn't get past the film's bad look.

Why Supergirl's Costume Looks So Much Better Than The Flash's

In the vast multiverse of the DC Universe explored by The Flash, numerous characters from the comics brand make their appearance. Among them are various iterations of Batman and the introduction of Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Despite her supporting role, the costume of the Girl of Steel appears to be far more visually appealing than that of the Flash. Although the CGI may have distorted it in certain instances, the overall quality of her suit surpasses that of the Scarlet Speedster.

In contrast to Ezra's Flash suit, Calle's Supergirl suit stands out due to its practicality. The behind-the-scenes footage reveals that the actress' costume requires minimal VFX adjustments as it fits her perfectly, with less padding and fewer additional VFX elements. On the other hand, Barry Allen's superhero suit in The Flash necessitates extensive post-production work to achieve its on-screen appearance. In certain instances, even significant portions of the suit are created through CGI. Despite the film's mixed reception and the controversies surrounding Miller, a sequel already has a script in place. The question now remains whether Warner Bros. will proceed with it, particularly considering the movie's underwhelming performance at the box office.
