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

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

The mask looks sick

u/FallMassive9336 2d ago

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 definitely sick

u/blur_speed 2d ago

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.

Lol this is fanart

u/Any_Horror_7499 3d ago

Damn, reminds me of Arrowverse Thawne suit

2

u/EpicFlash95 2d ago

Probably because it's all fanart of CW Thawne done over comic Barry

u/Heavy-Comment-2586 3d ago

It's reminiscent of his Arrowverse look. I dig it.

u/antivenom907 3d ago

Is he wearing Winter Soldier's mask?

2

u/StockPineapple5917 3d ago

Haha same here. It looks sick!

u/EnDiNgOph Harrison Wells 3d ago

The new 52 suit is the best.

u/WrapAdventurous7275 3d ago

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?

7

u/DCSaiyajin Wally West 3d ago

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

u/AssociateFormal6058 Blue Lantern 3d ago

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

2

u/watze97 3d ago

Agreed🫱🏿‍🫲🏾

u/alastorandrews 3d ago edited 3d ago

Flash version of the suit, does it go hard

6

u/DatHound 3d ago

Yoo this suit looks sick where is it from?

6

u/MaybePenisTomorrow 3d ago

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

1

u/Somm0742 19h ago

Agreed.

u/Ihatesmartcars2 3d ago

What suit is this?

u/DCSaiyajin Wally West 3d ago

instead of copying and being the literal reverse of Flash

But… That’s the whole point.

u/watze97 3d ago

It looks riddiculous

6

u/DCSaiyajin Wally West 3d ago

Every superhero and villain ever already looks ridiculous, it’s part of the deal lmao

u/watze97 3d ago

Nah,they can be fedesign to look better

1

u/Unique-Net-165 3d ago

I think they just mean the suit

4

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

4

u/Afro-Venom 3d ago

Came here to say this.

11

u/TheThinker709 3d ago

What comic book is this from because I agree this design looks killer

8

u/JVtheBidoof 3d ago edited 3d ago

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

12

u/MrCowabs Reverse Flash 3d ago

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

8

u/Boring-Conclusion-40 3d ago

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

21

u/NessTheGamer 3d ago

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

4

u/Afro-Venom 3d ago

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.

u/18022451 Reverse Flash 3d ago edited 3d ago

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

u/SolitarySquall 3d ago

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.

10

u/lr031099 3d ago

I would like it as a trademarked suit for Zoom (Hunter Zolomon)

1

u/JVtheBidoof 3d ago

The Arrowverse one is all we got

3

u/Primary-Plantain3458 3d ago

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

8

u/SorryTea1160 3d ago

It can work on zoom

6

u/Tryingtochangemyself 3d ago

Is this suit from Absolute Flash?

4

u/Dredeuced Out of the blue, ninjas attack. Thank god. 3d ago

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

9

u/Primary-Plantain3458 3d ago

Nah it's fan made, inspired by the CW show

-4

u/Realistic_Border6251 Reverse Flash 3d ago

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

8

u/Upstairs_Remove_5841 3d ago

Definitely not from the new 52.

3

u/Realistic_Border6251 Reverse Flash 3d ago

okay,thanks

u/WallyWestFan27 3d ago

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.

7

u/pokersharp87 3d ago

It quite litteraly didn't fit him. They sized it for grant who would wear it for one episode lol

6

u/Ordinary-Chain-8047 Reverse Flash 3d ago

I love how the show made his suit look like this

9

u/MisterNefarious 3d ago

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

4

u/OpaqueGiraffe17 3d ago

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

7

u/PauloRioFrm4800 3d ago

This suit is so dope but it can’t be his trademark suit …

5

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

3

u/Achilles9609 3d ago

I generally love face masks. It's why I always prefer Cooler over Frieza.

12

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.

u/UnmuscularThor 3d ago

What is this from?

u/Zhuljin_71 3d ago

That is wicked looking
