DC has revealed the new costumeSasha Calle’s Supergirl will be wearing inThe Flashduring this year’s Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. Collider’s ownSteven Weintraubis attending the event and got some exclusive pictures of the uniform, designed byAlexandra Byrne.
Inspired by theFlashpointcomic book storyline, the upcoming movie will deal with alternate timelines and bring backEzra Milleras The Flash. Among the many heroes set to appear in DC’s version of the multiverse is Supergirl, with Calle chosen to play the Kryptonian heroine in the film. The new uniform chooses not to copy the original skirt the heroine wore in comic books, a look that’s not exactly practical to fight bad guys. The costume also drops the long red boots that became associated with the character more recently.
InThe Flash, Calle will be wearing a single-piece red and blue suit, complete with a red cape and the Kryptonian symbol of hope engraved in her chest. The suit is also wrapped around Supergirl’s thumb, giving her stability and freedom of movement, two essential things to keep in mind while developing a crime fighting uniform.
