McFarlane Flash Toys Give Us Close Look At New Batman Armor And Dark Flash

Warner Bros. and DC's The Flash movie is finally arriving this June after many delays and news of its controversial star still doesn't have fans deterred from seeing it. The first trailer was released to overwhelming positive fanfare with footage of Michael Keaton suited up as Batman after 30 years and even co-head of DC Studios James Gunn praised the movie as one of the best comic book movies ever.

The Flash movie will have its world premiere this week at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, although with unfinished special effects.

The armor itself is more intricate and tactical, and similar to Christian Bale's The Dark Knight armor with plates. It has a militaristic silhouette and what little we've seen in the trailer, it definitely looks that way, especially in motion. Almost like a paratrooper. On the back are more plates, that look to fold with the spine. Again, very much a Dark Knight feel. The Bat symbol itself is etched in, kind of hidden with the rest of the plates' design. There's no real color variation outside of the
