Getting the issue in like a half an hour so I'm resisting very hard to hold back from seeing it...just tell me, is it a nice costume?

I think most people will like it... I like the design - but I really think Wally deserved something to really distinguish himself a bit more. I don't see Wally ever getting his own series wearing that unless they choose to deep six Barry.

I liked the design. Wasn't so major that it didn't seem like Wally but gave kind of a darker, sharper look. And the white eyes brought me back to the the 90s  . I was even more surprised by Irey's costume change. |

The new costume is ok but will Wally always be squinting his eyes from now on.

I like it, but based on all the hoopla, I was expecting something more different. I like the belt design. The simplified logo would seem an easier way to distinguish between Wally and Barry but I could see where it might lead to confusion because of it's similarity to the JLU Flash logo.

Yeah, I think everyone was expecting something a bit more different than what we got but EVS did say that it would be familiar yet different which is pretty much how his new suit ended up looking. |

Well the JLU Flash was Wally anyway, so I don't see where any confusion based on the logo would come from. |

A brand is something you don't want to dilute. Brands are intended to generate recognition. You and I know who Barry and Wally are but not everyone knows who Flash is - much less the fact that there are three of them. If DC is positioning Barry for movie release, confusing the brand logo diffuses this effort - unless they plan to keep Wally relatively low profile like Jay Garrick.

I see what you're saying but I think it'd only be a problem if Barry's logo was changed. Wally isn't the one being set up for a movie. |

I like the new design.
I was very nervous in regards to how it was going to be handled. I was afraid that TPTB would have wally back wearing a costume that harkened back to his Kid Flash costume. Thankfully, we have been given a nice amalgamation of animated Flash and the crimson/white eye costume from #50.
