Description
Pt 1 of my JL heromatic redesign mini-side project. (My Splendorized version of JL... again)As far as character redesigns go, this one was pretty conservative. Seriously in terms of costume and character/personality goes, The Flash is doing it right. That said, I've managed to make a few changes that I think fit my idea of the character (and superheroes in general, Splendorized) while still being true to the character (I'm going to tackle one of these characters in the future, might as well practice).
"Too Flash; Too fabulous."
Barry West is the very best at what he does: speed.
The scientist reversed engineered his suit from a certain Kryptonian...
The only major difference is that it's lighter weight (Kryptonian clothing is heavy), and it's cooler looking (bright red, make a fashion statement)! I noticed people like to give him armor, but in The Flash's own words (that I'm 99% sure I made up) "who's fast enough to hit The Flash?"Not only is The Flash fast, but he's quick. He has a fast mind and has so much snark and sarcasm that it would take an army of Whedon's to write him (for those of you who were wondering, "why doesn't Flash have a movie?" that's why... and it's The Flash).
Also. I combined the names of both Flashes, because I don't have a major preference. Also his name is The Flash. He will correct you if you call him Flash.
I'm back! And I missed you guys!

Yeah he's a better fit for The Flash (heroic with a sarcastic humorous undertone)as opposed to Hal (who's just serious). Kyle Rayner would be a better Lantern for Reynolds, but not by much.
Thanks, I didn't want to make the costume too distinctive because to me (and the general public) The Flash is pretty much one guy. Just wanted to consolidate without robbing or ruining anything about the character.
Haha, really? That's funny; I'm not familiar with the character.

Guess that makes sense.
Thanks.
Interesting. Similar to the "Extremes" virus in Iron Man 3?

Nice, way to go DC, making respectable female redesigns on "unimportant" characters.

Wonder Woman's design was pretty good minus the jacket and choker. It wasn't a good Amazon Warrior look in my opinion, but it made a respectable Wonder Woman, which is all you could really ask for.
PG's window is here to stay, the very least I ask is that they treat it with respect (how many times can her Kryptonian armor get torn to shreds) and give her a legitimate reason to have one ("I couldn't think of a symbol" is lowercase bs as well as "I'm a woman, so there.").
It's on the same level of (in lack of a better word) stupidity as Superman's trunks (only kept around because it's classic). Artists have found a way for it to work (DeviantArt is good for stuff like that), and I'm perfectly fine with that ... unfortunately those designs are almost never canon.
I feel like writers try to out "dark" Ledger's Joker portrayal by getting gratuitously creepy (ie skin mask; it's cool but is it still the Joker?) and as a result people try to legitimize Harley as a character to match. The ironic thing is that they're perverting the character (in more way than one)

Agreed. Idea is good, but execution could've been better, but to be fair WW is pretty difficult to redesign.
Yeah, p
"Yeah, but.... t&a..." I agree oversexualizing a character like Harley (who already had a subversively sexual origin to begin with) to make her "darker and more mature" is contradictory and, quite frankly, stupid.

Strangely enough Ryan Reynolds was the voice for Turbo, a snail version of The Flash.

Thanks, I admire the simplicity of The Flash's costume and didn't want to ruin that for the sake of being "different."
He'd definitely make a fun movie! A nice breath of fresh air within WB/DC and CBMs in general.
