Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

that's completely counter-intuitive.

Hmmm . . . completely fictional, too.


CARMINE INFANTINO:
[Writing as "Cinfa" in History of the Comics, Vol. 1, No. 13, Dec. 1990:]

"On one day I was delivering my work, Julie told me we were going to try The Flash. He said it was decided at an editorial meeting. He gave me a script by Kanigher. (I know Kanigher had a lot of input. It was in his style.)

I was told to design a costume. I chose a stark bland one with lightning bolt accents. (Those belts would help in creating the speed effects for the character.) I always kept him slim, like a runner; wiry, too. Others bulked him up. Different strokes for different..."

Well superheroes real to me, in my dreams

Yeah, like I said, he can look whatever because speedforce, but once you try to ground him or rationalize him, then the Flash should only be skinny when he's about to starve to death

Personally I don't like him too buff either, Manapul nailed the buck for me.

Well, technically, the Flash costume was influenced by the Batman 89 costume....

I concur. First thing I thought when I saw it back in the day.

"Using a full body cast of actor John Wesley Shipp they made foam latex pieces out of all the muscles, about two to four inches thick. Then, they painstakingly glued each piece onto a suit and covered it with a red material sprayed with a sealant. While Shipp was in amazing shape, the suit gave him the exaggerated body of a comic book superhero. They made a total of eight suits: two suits made for Shipp, two suits for the show's stuntmen, two for photo doubles, and two for close-ups. The suits cost $100,000 each. The costumes alone cost almost a million dollars."

Elaborate hoax.

A lot of men in here talking about what men should look like in spandex.

Weird.....

 

[karamazov80]

Agreed. More ogling, less discussion gents.

Is it any better talking about them when they're toys or statues?

 

[**16k**]

I don't see it.

Technically, that Flash costume was influenced by Masters of the Universe action figures.


Carmine Infantino's design still seems the most logical:

Allen should be lanky like a marathon runner full of slow-twitch muscle fibers.
Not a muscle-bound 'roid freak.

Of course, I meant the Flash series costume was inspired by the 89 movie. I'm not talking about style. I'm just saying the 89 movie was popular and was the first using a rubber suit with sculpted muscles.

The Flash copied that. Actually, they were so much inspired by the Batman movie that they went as far as hire Danny Elfman for the score and light the sets with some comic bookish colors to cater to the Burton's fans.

Umm, 89/Returns had no comic bookish colors, are you thinking Shumacher?

89/Returns are famous for their dark bleakness.

 

[kryptonianmutie]

Just stick with 89 Batman if we're talking darkness in Burton Batman films. Happy Feet was a darker movie with Penguins than Returns.

[emoji38] perfect!

Sorry guv' -- by all means continue with your normal topics like magnetohydrodynamics and freewill vs. predestination . . .

Of course . . . I remember the show . . . and the whole padded muscle-suit craze popularized by Keats-Bats.
Shipp-Flash couldn't move his neck at all either.
Even the Raimi spider-suit had latex muscle augmentation, as I recall.

89/Returns are famous for their dark bleakness.

More for their circus cheesiness.

I guess all those conspiracy theorists were half right: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/justice_league/warner-bros-found-guilty-of-paying-for-positive-game-reviews-a143375

As for the Flash's physique, well, it's a comic book, it doesn't really matter. But I always pictured him with a built similar to Spider-Man's.

Wait, Youtube people taking bribes, let me put on my shocked face.

Eh, I'd go with...

My ideal Flash looks like an Olympic 100 meters runner. Muscular and lean, unlike the skinny tv Flash.

TV Flash looks like a regular nerd who excercises once in a while, so I can kinda see what they went for. Still, I like my super-heroes to be, well, super...

I remember your Flash's music theme.
