Unveiling the Jaw-Dropping Super Suit of The Flash Movie - No CGI Required!

Supergirl actress Sasha Calle unveils The Flash's remarkable superhero suit without the use of CGI in a series of behind-the-scenes photographs. Calle's debut in The Flash marks the beginning of her illustrious film career as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl, sharing the screen with Ezra Miller's Barry Allens and Michael Keaton's Batman. Alongside the presence of Ben Affleck's Batman and several unexpected cameos, Calle's Supergirl suit steals the spotlight as the standout hero costume in The Flash.

Calle took to Instagram to mark the premiere of The Flash, providing a captivating glimpse into her Supergirl suit without any computer-generated effects. Through her candid snapshots, it becomes evident that her suit is exceptionally well-crafted, simultaneously highlighting the detrimental nature of a recent trend observed in superhero films.

Supergirl's Suit Proves The Power Of Practical Effects

In some parts of The Flash, Calle's suit appeared stunning, but there were instances when the film relied on CGI to enhance the suit, resulting in a less realistic and more video game-like appearance for Supergirl. However, this was still preferable to the strange rubbery look that Miller's The Flash suit had for a significant portion of the movie. Behind-the-scenes photos showcasing the Supergirl suit in a casual setting highlighted its clear design and vibrant colors, which were occasionally missed in the film.

Calle also shared videos revealing the practical effects used for her flight scenes as Supergirl in The Flash. This decision to incorporate practical effects instead of solely relying on CGI models in certain scenes added a palpable sense of authenticity. However, there were moments, particularly during the final battle between the two Barry Allens, where The Flash's powers felt lacking in authenticity. Nevertheless, The Flash is not the first superhero film to heavily rely on VFX shots and CGI makeup for superhero suits.

Ryan Reynolds' infamous Green Lantern movie serves as a prime example of how relying solely on a completely CGI super suit does not yield satisfying results. In more recent times, there has been a shift towards utilizing CGI for heroes' suits or even creating fully CGI costumes. However, these alternatives often fail to match the authenticity and appeal of real costumes. In 2019, Avengers: Endgame managed to pull off the use of fully-CGI white team suits effectively. Yet, Spider-Man: No Way Home, a film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, demonstrated that practical suits offer a superior option. Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's suits surpassed Tom Holland's Spider-Man costume in terms of quality and appeal. While The Flash succeeded in capturing the essence of Supergirl's suit, it is important to note that it looks even more impressive in Sasha Calle's photos.
