SDCC 2019 has opened its doors and as is now tradition with the ArrowVerse shows, Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first look….almost….at the new hero suits for Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Batwoman.
Kicking things off where it all began and perhaps rather fitting as Arrow will come to an end with Season 8, it seems as though Oliver Queen is returning to his original “The Hood” look with a classic but improved look for his final season. I quite like this although it must be said that for all the hero’s that would normally be wearing a mask, these cover shots are not showing them.
…which does make it rather interesting for The Flash, as much has been reported that based on fan feedback from last season, the next Flash suit will indeed see a return of the ‘Chin Strap’ style Flash cowl which is more traditional for the suit. From this image it does look as though more gold lines have been added as well as a much softer looking material which to me at the very least, is a possible nod to the 90’s TV Flash suit which was more of a soft Velvet than leather and PVC of the modern show.
In the case of Batwoman, this is more of a better look at the suit Ruby Rose will wear for the new show to hit the CW ArrowVerse this year. The only real look we have seen was in last years major crossover event “Elseworlds” where we finally visited a Gotham City where Batman and Bruce Wayne have been missing for years. I do like the look of this suit, it is still close enough to the comic book suit whilst still being a fresh enough take for the first TV show to feature Batwoman.
I began by saying that we were ‘almost’ getting to see some new suits for the new seasons of ArrowVerse shows but with Supergirl, it is not quite the case. We can see that Melissa Benoist does in fact sport a brand new hair style for Supergirl this season with a fringe and bangs but other wise, this is the classic Supergirl suit that Melissa has worn since Season 1. Earlier this week however, Melissa did share a brand new suit via her own instagram and is perhaps the biggest change to any suit previously made on any of the shows.
The short skirt and tights have gone and now replaced with an all body suit though the knee boots have been kept as well as the original S Shield logo but the the new belt and it looks fantastic. As much as this is a stylish new look we can pretty much imagine how the new suit will be far more comfortable for Melissa with so many long and cold night suits which are a mantel of the ArrowVerse shows.
SDCC 2019 will no doubt reveal a lot more and possibly some trailers as the ArrowVerse shows fast pace their way to the biggest Crossover event yet in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” which has been teased since the very end of Elseworlds and with Arrow coming to a definitive end…..fans are on tenterhooks for more information!
