More season 5 news:
- 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?
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 spoilers:end of spoilers and that could be a bootstrap paradox spoilers:
the Flash ring end of spoilers.
explaining why he might need more Flash suits in the future, if entropy causes them to break down
They even gave her Jenni's symbol instead of the Flash lightning bolt.
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.
