First Look At Grant Gustin as The Flash

The Flash has finally arrived.

Warner Bros. has released the first official image of Grant Gustin Barry Allen in the CW’s ‘The Flash.’ The costume was designed by Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, who also designed Arrow’s outfit. We only get to see the headgear of the costume, but I’m curious to know how the full costume looks like.

The anticipated Arrow spin-off series will begin production on the pilot episode next week. The Flash pilot also stars Rick Cosnett as Detective Eddie, Danielle Panabaker as Caitilin Snow, Candice Patton, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Detective West, and Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon. John Wesley Shipp who played The Flash in the original 90s version, will guest star in the pilot in a mystery role and is intended to be a recurring guest star in the series.
