Robbie Amell On His Superhero Suit

Superhero costumes can be a tricky thing to get right when they leap from the pages of comics and into the big or small screens. They can easily fall into campy territory like Steel, Batman and Robin, Hawkman from Smallville, among others.

Recently at the TCA's The CW shared with the world, the costume or pre-costume that Robbie Amell will use on The Flash as Firestorm. The costume isn't hideous, but it's a far cry from what the character wore on the comics.

"Oh, not at all.  I was actually a little upset when they posted the pictures that they did of the costumes," Amell said when asked if that was the final version of the suit. "It really just happens to be the jacket that Robbie's wearing when the splicer's put on. The splicer is removable in our version of the character. Whatever he's wearing at the time can be turned into the costume. I'm sure down the road, there will be a legit costume but for the time being, it's just whatever he's wearing at the time when the splicer's put on and then it's time to go to work, that happens to be the costume."

Amell then added that "I'm sure down the road, Cisco will make him some sort of fireproof thing and...he'll do something Cisco-y and he'll have a badass costume."

Do you think they should stick close to the costume from the source material?
