Barry Allen has a new costume for "The Flash" season 2, USA Today reports. It looks pretty much the same as the old one with just a few minor tweaks.
The lightning bolt on his chest falls in line with Flash's original look — comic-book like. The medallion now has a white background, making the lightning bolt more prominent, according to Zap2it.
