[QUOTE=Frontier;3839241]I like that the belt is an actual belt now and that we're moving away from leather (and there being a zipper on the Flash suit), though some of the detailing and bits on the arm kind of throw me off.
It's also kind of weird to see the suit without the chinstrap at this point :p.
I do think the season 4 suit looked a little sleeker, but maybe this suit will look better in-motion.
It's really disappointing to hear about Grant being body-shamed. My issues with the leaked image had much more to do with the bits that were unfinished then Grant's physique.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Frontier;3839370]Yeah, I'm kind of surprised they're changing suits so quickly given the season 4 suit was pretty solid.
I guess maybe Gustin wanted something new or more comfortable?[/QUOTE]
Not having the chin strap is probably more comfortable.

- The season will explore Barry as a parent and why Nora prefers him to Iris.
- Nora's personality is a lot like early Barry.
- Ralph will be doing a lot more detective work this season as the show builds him up to the legendary detective he is in the comics.
- Wally will be in three episodes of the season.
-
What are the odds that episode one begins with "My name is Nora Allen," eh?

I'm really bummed they never did one with Wally :(.

Nora's costume

Nora's suit seems much more practical than Barry's. When she's not busy super-heroing, she can grab a cup of joe at the CC Jitters and not look out of place. Lucky Jessica Parker Kennedy; not so lucky Grant Gustin.
-
Nice to see a little color in the costume (no pun intended) instead of the standard black leather the CW dresses most of its female characters in.
-
Her jacket is similar to Iris’ when she was a speedster

Her jacket is Iris's jacket. I guess that's not a bootstrap paradox, but I wonder if entropy will eventually cause that jacket to break down. Nora also gives Barry [spoil]the Flash ring[/spoil] and that could be a bootstrap paradox [spoil]explaining why he might need more Flash suits in the future, if entropy causes them to break down[/spoil].

I really like this suit. It's a nice homage to the XS costume from the books. Practical and cool.

I kinda wish they didn't just reuse Iris' suit, but it definitely looks better on Nora and it's in Jenni's colors :).
-
They even gave her Jenni's symbol instead of the Flash lightning bolt.
-
Better look at the new suit:

Some people have complained about the cowl, but I quite like it. I think this could be the best suit yet.
At one of the cons, Kevin Smith and Grant Gustin explained how when Barry takes off his mask in a scene, they have to stop the cameras and someone comes in and removes the top part of the costume and replaces that with a different top part that has no cowl. It seems like this design is to make it easier to film those scenes, as all they have to take off is the helmet.

Well, Barry does tend to take his mask off a lot :p.
I think the cowl is the only thing that throws me off. The lack of a chin strap and the bulk at the top just look kind of funny after the helms of the last three suits.
I love the rest of the costume though :).
