The first official image from The CW’s Arrow spinoff, The Flash, has been released and it shows star Grant Gustin in costume for the first time!
Gustin, who guest starred for a short-arc on Arrow, stars as Barry Allen, a scientist given powers as the result of a freak storm. After being struck by lightning, Barry is imbued with powers of super speed, resulting in him becoming the fastest man alive.
Designed by three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, the dark color is reminiscent of the costume from Arrow, also designed by Atwood. Though it’s not a full body picture, it does give a preview of what fans can expect if the pilot is picked up for the fall 2014-2015 season.
