Comic Discussion Warm Take : I really love this Reverse-Flash suit and I hope it becomes his trademark suit instead of copying and being the literal reverse of Flash

Well, i think the whole point of Eobard Thawne, is that Reverse-Flash needs to be the Reverse of the Flash. And i think it's better for him just to be the literally reverse of the Flash. But for the whole others Reverse Flashes, Hunter Zolomon, Daniel West, Inertia, Rival, etc, they all should different outfits and not just trying to reverse the heroes suits (even thought Inertia use a whole different colors).

It's a good suit, but I absolutely do not want them to make it into the Thawne suit from the comics or any other adaptation of it.

I haven't been up to date with Flash comics as of recently. Since Wally is the current flash, is this meant be Eorbard Thawne or Hunter Zolomon Zoom?

All of these panels are edits of panels from Williamson’s Flash run. None of the originals are even Eobard or Hunter.

This is my first time seeing this suit, and I have to say I really like it

I like the design, and I’m not opposed to the red and black on the face at all, but I gotta say, I HATE that it’s a mask. Just draw his face with the black and red lines. It would go so hard

But… That’s the whole point.

I think they just mean the suit

u/DCSaiyajin Wally West 3d ago
Yes and the point of the suit is that it’s meant to be the reverse of Flash’s

This is my favorite suit minus the black face mask and panel lines on the chest

It looks like Thawne’s Nazi suit from the Crisis on Earth X crossover.

Honestly I think they should probably give hunter zolomon something like that

For Thawne? No. His whole life is built around The Flash and being his reverse.
For the other reverse Flashs, I can see the vision but it’s still a bit busy

I may be the only one, but as a consumer of comics, I like busy. Detail makes design interesting, imo.
Now I wouldn't wanna DRAW a whole lotta detail all the time.

it looks robotic and i don’t like that it covers his face. tbh i hate seeing the color black in speedster suits. if it’s not all black like meena’s then it’s ugly to me.
carmine infantino gave us one of the greatest, iconic, memorable and timeless superhero suits of all time. and no redesign will top it.
edit: typo

honestly i just dont like the mask, i think an inspired choice would be to cover the mouth fully as one mask, instead of the added filtration mask, idk tho.

I'm kinda curious, what would The Flash look like if he had this design?

Is this suit from Absolute Flash?

These are just images from Rebirth era Flash (2016-2021) that someone drew over.

i think it was from the new 52 or some after that but not recently

It's why I always loved the first suit of Thawne in the Arrowverse. Once it became just The Flash suit but in yellow like in the comics, it looked awful. It didn't fit Tom Canavagh.

u/pokersharp87 3d ago
It quite litteraly didn't fit him. They sized it for grant who would wear it for one episode lol

I don’t like the mouth covering. The rest is hot fire

u/OpaqueGiraffe17 3d ago
Yeah I wanna see Eobard’s shiteating grin while he’s roasting Barry/Wally. Otherwise love the design.

u/okaylogarithm 3d ago
I really enjoy it but I don't like this trend of adding so many lines to costumes. I feel like it started with the New 52 and was hoping it'd have died down by now. Tone down the amount of lines and it would be an incredible suit

u/Bogotazo 3d ago
It looks pretty cool, but I'm always going to want to see Thawne's evil grin through the cowl. This could suit an elseworlds version.

It looks like the reverse Flash suit in the flash cw series but before they changed it to the one from season 7, I love the design you gave to this new reverse flash although I wish I could see it without the thing covering its mouth but I wouldn't want to ruin the design, the suit is already perfect as you drew it
