Actor Grant Gustin’s new Flash costume for Season 8 of The CW series has finally been revealed. The unveiling was part of the festivities and wall-to-wall announcements during DC FanDome–the comics giant’s free, global virtual fan event.
The complete new look was shown off with Gustin in the costume, which features a newly-designed center crest and wings on the headpiece. The actor described these additions as “the final element that’s been missing. I’ve loved all the versions of The Flash suit we’ve had on the show, but the suit we have now is the closest to the many iterations you see in the comic books–with the exception of those gold boots! I’ve always felt that those boots would be the final touch.” Check out the new look below, and decide for yourself.

The CW recently released a synopsis for “Armageddon.” It reads, “A powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton), and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out, and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old friends if the forces of good are to prevail.”
