I figured they were regular chains painted green by Booster and Beetle during the Bwahahah era....and Barry was in on the act.

Must have been a time-traveling Barry; Wally was the Flash during the Bwahaha Era.

True, but as I recall he sometimes popped up to visit Wally via time-traveling shenanigans. So why not he also showed up to visit The Big Three and others?

That suit still really holds up.

(Especially compared to the season 5 suit).

It's like the classics hold up for some reason.

Lol, I haven't been keeping up with the CW shows for a while now but I really want to see this.

I wasn’t even planning on watching the crossover until I saw this! YES!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!! I love JWS as The Flash and that suit is still my favorite live action suit.

is that the actual suit from the first series?

I think I saw someone said that the texture isn't exactly the same, so it's probably a recreation of it.

Actually I seem to recall reading that John Wesley Shipp actually ripped himself out of the suit on the last day of filming for the show...

I certainly didn't see it coming. CW sure kept a tight lid on it until now. Wow.

The boots appear to be a different color.

That most definitely is not the real suit. I saw Guggenheim, I think, on his Twitter said that it is a remake. Also, when I got to meet JWS at DragonCon a couple of years ago he said how much he hated that suit. Said it was claustrophobic, hot, etc so it is definitely an updated remake and it looks amazing!

[liwanag]

the recreation does look good. and jws actually looks a better fit for the flash costume than stephen amell does.

[married guy]

Seriously, how UNDER UTILIZED is John Wesley Shipp??
He was great as Barry back in the day and he's EVEN BETTER as Jay Garrick now.

I wish CW would just give him his own damn show already.
