A passel of movie writers were toured around the set of Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and had the chance to check out new costumes for most of the characters. The strangest and coolest costume has to belong to The Flash, whose get-up sounds quite a bit different from his comic book skinsuit.
Here’s how Devin Faraci of Birth.Movies.Death. described the concept behind The Flash costume:
“The premise here is that Barry Allen has built himself a prototype suit using high tech materials he may or may not have stolen (there's a Waynetech brand on one piece of his outfit).”
The suit is cobbled together and has a number of interesting attributes Faraci describes, including:
- “Bright and primary” red, as opposed to the more muted colors worn by Wonder Woman
- Ceramic armor, similar to space shuttle heat tiles
- The helmet is like the “aerodynamic shape of a downhill skier's”
- “Cool Flash sneakers with his lightning bolt logo on the sides and also on the sole”
- “High-tensile wires” all over the costume, apparently designed to conduct away the crackling energy that builds up around The Flash as he runs
But Faraci didn’t mention the weirdest part of The Flash costume Faraci in his write-up of the Justice League set visit. Thank Darkseid for Twitter:
3) After journos noticed that Ezra Miller's Flash costume boasts a nearly obscene codpiece: “I heard the Flash has an enormous dick.”

@devincf I can confirm both the quote's provenance and the size of the super-dick

It seems our new Flash is quite well endowed.
Not really sure what to make of that. BRB, showering.
