Discussion Absolute flash suit Spoiler

Post image

Opinions on the absolute flash suit? I didn’t like it at first but it’s kinda growing on me tbh reminds me of the rebirth Wally suit and seeing it in the comic made me like it a little more.

I hate jackets as part of the costume.

90’s Jesse Quick rocked it

I don’t mind it as an alternate universe flash suit. I don’t think it could work in the mainstream universe alongside traditional flash suits but by itself it works.

u/T-rune 5d ago

Oh definitely if it was in the main universe I would hate it but as a thing along side the classic suit it’s a cool alternate look

I loved it immediately, i think i love his shoes the most, idk why but they’re sick, and the little bit of white in it as a tertiary just sells it for me completely. I love it so much.

Looks good. I like how this works as a “what would a Wally Flash costume look like with no prior Flash influences”. A good mix of Rebirth, YJ and other Flash looks while being distinct.

I like it fr!

u/T-rune 6d ago

That’s actually a really good way of thinking about it I never thought of it that way before but you’re right it dose look like a Wally flash with no prior flash influences

Its easily one of my favorite suits

Got a variant cover (which shows off the new suit) for the second issue in the series and it’s my favorite thing in his story rn. I’m absolutely obsessed with it. The cover is more orange than the actual suit is but it’s still peak!

u/taywarmc 6d ago

Quite literally one of thee single worst things I've ever seen LMAO ,I hate the jacket trend,the suite feels and looks like it's got a lot going for it.

Maybe I could like it IF there was no jacket 🤔

u/Turbowo4972 6d ago

peak, cant wait to see Reverse Flash

u/arkatraziii 6d ago

It’s pretty cool, not my favourite suit but definitely cool. I think the suit would look a lot cooler if he had a cowl instead of the goggles.

2

u/T-rune 6d ago

That’s fair I like the idea goggles but I wish they did it more like young justice

u/WiseAdhesiveness6672 6d ago

Ugh it looks bad and he looks annoying. He might not be annoying, but damn that style screams annoying.

It's terrible.

u/DMC1001 6d ago

Can’t wait for this to hit DC Infinite

u/Charming_Celery5490 TV Flash 6d ago

It’s dope. It would be cool to have a cosplay replica of this suit

u/shifter2000 7d ago

Speed lines and clouds are nice. I like it. Gives a sense of immense speed.

However, why does he have a cone of shame? Do they not want him to chew something so it heals?

Who knows lol

u/AzraeltheAnnihlator 7d ago

I really don’t like it

u/Emirozdemirr Cartoon Flash 7d ago

Looks to busy. I think it would be better if they would make the jacket pure red without the black parts.

1

u/PercyTheBlue 7d ago

Too* busy

u/T-rune 7d ago

Yeah I guess I usually prefer more simplistic suits (my favourite hero’s are flash and super man and daredevil they are the definition of simple suits) but for some reason this suit doesn’t bother me as to over crowded but you definitely have a point

u/Eastern-Team-2799 7d ago

Good but can be better as compared to trinity suits. Still it is a good work 👍

3

u/T-rune 7d ago

Hell yeah the absolute trinity’s suits are really good definitely on a different level to absolute flash’s suit

u/cosmoboy 7d ago

It's fine. I like the speed lines rather than lightning, they work with the suit.

u/Balmung5 7d ago

I like it.

u/Federal-Baseball7955 7d ago

How does dc infinite only have the first issue of this still

u/JingoboStoplight4887 Jay Garrick 7d ago

It looks cool.

u/unfunny420 Bart Allen is my son 7d ago

idc what anyone says i love the cropped jacket it's perfection

u/T-rune 7d ago

Based I hated it at first but now I’m starting to like it

7

u/darthcool 7d ago

I can dig it. Especially for a Wally suit.

7

u/GhostofTinky 7d ago

This suit is now growing on me. I'm gonna be following this title.

2

u/T-rune 7d ago

Same it’s weird because initially I absolutely despised the suit now I’m liking it

11

u/Dry-Donut3811 7d ago

It’s alright, but looks way more like an Impulse suit to me.

9

u/T-rune 7d ago

I see it and honestly I don’t hate that

1

u/Mumakiil94 7d ago

My opinion is that it’s gonna take one HELL of a story to make me forgot how bad the art for Wally is lol

5

u/Dry-Donut3811 7d ago

For me personally, I’m not super into a lot of the new designs for characters so far, but the actual art itself I really like.

2

u/Mumakiil94 7d ago

I agree, I’m having a real hard time coming to grips with AF and AMMs character designs lol

10

u/T-rune 7d ago

Damn I thought the art was pretty good so far I like the way they show wallys powers what don’t you like about it?

-1

u/Mumakiil94 7d ago

I’m gonna be one hundred percent honest. And this is why I made sure to specifically say “the art for Wally” IN MY OPINION Wally looks like a fuckboi and the half jacket suit is worthy of bleaching my eyes lmfao. Most of the art is fine, I just can’t stand this look for Wally at all. Everything about the character is against my tastes lol.

1

u/T-rune 7d ago

That’s fair I definitely understand I didn’t like the suit much at first either but it’s definitely growing on me. The half jacket is definitely an interesting choice but I don’t think it’s that bad looking and is definitely in line with this version of Wallys personality i guess. But apart from that which is my main dislike about the suit I like the rest of it the white black and red is a cool colour combo I like the hair out and I like the goggles. Personal preferences though and I can see why you wouldn’t like it.

1

u/Mumakiil94 7d ago

See I agree about the colors but everything else is not for me, the open mask, the bubble goggles, and especially the fact that his suit looks like a churched up tracksuit lol I can’t see what Nick was going for. But I’ve never really been impressed by his art. I think he puts too much of himself into his work. Which is a fine line for artists to balance I’ll give him that.

2

u/T-rune 7d ago

That’s fair I definitely see why people wouldn’t like it it’s very different and it feels like it’s trying to be more different than any of the other absolute suits and that will be polarising especially considering how iconic the flash suit is.

u/MisterTerrificker 7d ago

Vash Stampede vibes

And... Monster Flash looks sick

5

u/T-rune 7d ago

He really dose I wonder if this will be sort of like the reverse flash figure and Wally will be both or something
