    Yeah, true. It is kinda disappointing that having finally got the Flash movie started, all anyone is talking about is Batman :rolleyes: :D

    I just assume that they're looking to ape Into the Spiderverse a bit. Multiverses didn't scare off viewers there, so what could be more popular than Batman? Several Batmen!

    i've only ever heard the Flash movie spoken of as a Flashpoint movie, which would have always pointed to things like Keaton Batman (if not that specifically).

    I think you're probably talking about fans and creatives, and I'm talking about producers.

    The Flash is going to be a bit player is his own movie, isn't he? Another case of an ostensibly simple superhero ("he runs really fast!") overcomplicated by the insistence that it still involved Batman.

    Getting a strong vibe of the button of that image. Was a batman/flash crossover in the lead up to Doomsday Clock which involved Watchmen and the DC universe.

    The Illuminerdi has exclusively learned that Grant Gustin will be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming The Flash movie.

    DC’s highly anticipated The Flash looks to be a huge film inspired by the famed Flash comic book storyline “Flashpoint.” The Flash will also include the return of both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as their respective Batman characters, the debut of Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and much more.

    If this is a cinematic Flashpoint, I'd love it if the film gave a quick cameo to Grant Gustin, repay the fun scene with Ezra Miller's Flash on the CW show.

    Glad to see DC took my suggestion to heart :D Though a little disappointing they didn't keep the cameo under wraps, would have been a nice surprise.

    I take this isn't going to be much like Flashpoint apart from name unless they are planning on pulling the rug out from under audiences unfamiliar with the story with Keaton
    actually playing Thomas Wayne rather than Bruce
    . Would love if that's what they are actually at.

    It's Supergirl. She was cast a few months ago, can't recall the actors name off the top of my head. If you look, the chest of the suit is clearly that of a woman.

    Not unless they have breasts now lol. How can you not see the breasts? Anyway its Supergirl as mentioned above. I hope she eventually gets her own movies and about time too. Not mad about her suit do. I hope she has a Cape at least.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Would throw out the usual caveat about set photos making a costume look a bit weird or cheap; the shaping of the suit might be to do with whatever bracing and safety girdle is underneath the suit while Calle is harnessed. These modern superhero movies love making the cape CGI, so that'd explain its absence too.

    I take a grain of salt with these pictures wait until the CGI and after production is done and they will be very different. I mean is you see pictures of The flash TV suit most of the time you think its looks like a very weirs PVC skin tight s** suit and then you see it in TV and it looks different

    Not sure if that’s Affleck or a stunt man but it looks like it might be cowl designed as a helmet

    I just presume it to be a stunt mask, something reinforced for the rider, while looking enough like Batman's mask it can be hidden either with smart editing, or CGI. Extra padding or another layer underneath the latex. All superhero costumes look crap on set anyway, thought we'd all know that by now 😁

    A lot of superheroes costumes are accentuated with FX these days: be it removing the wrinkles in the suit for a better form-fitting look (I only recall a Black Panther before/after there); actually rendering the rest of the costume (see every iron man film after #1, Downey only wearing "shoulders"); or just adding capes after the fact, cos it's less hassle than an unruly cloth (see the pictures in this thread!)
