I feel like it is reminiscent of Mr. Terrific's costume. I honestly didn't recognize her when I saw it on Facebook.

it's a jacket and a stupid mask...NOT SEXY ENOUGH...I wanted Iris to be in classic lady superhero garb, you know boob tube & hot pants if you're feeling conservative straight up swimming costume if not, this is just, it's ah....it's not sexy enough dammit.
In all honesty it's meh it does just look like a jacket to me, I get that it's just a one off sort of thing but even for that the costume looks too good, like Ralph was around for weeks with a sheet as his outfit, Iris is only having powers for an episode but gets something? I would have preferred them just using an older Flash suit and having Cisco reveal in a silly moment that it has a form fitting ability, I also get they decided on the colour and look based off another character but it's just bleh to me.

Yeah. it is pretty awful and the trailer was recently released for the episode and it looks even worse. Some fans are calling her Skunk Girl and while I wasn't expecting it to be anything flashy 'cause the Flash costume itself isn't that great and the costume the Rival wore had both Beccy and I on the ground in stitches I thought they could have come up with something better for her. That being said, I think Iris only having powers for a week and getting a costume is 'cause they could be under the impression it is permanent and Cisco likes Iris and he didn't like Ralph that much to begin with which is probably why he gave him such a bad outfit. One thing I forgot to mention was they did this in 'Lois and Clark' when Lois got Clark's powers for an episode and Lois' Ultra Woman costume was pretty bad too.

They did it on Smallville too. It seems to be a superhero trope to temporarily reserve roles and swap powers; especially in the TV adaptations, but it hasn't been done particularly well to date.

TV is eternally optimistic. If at first you don't succeed keep beating a dead horse until its a red pulp.

God damn. That is one fugly costume. Iris looks like a martian from a cheap Science Fiction movie of the 90s with Batgirl’s mask from Batman & Robin. Scratch that. I just figured out what it is. It is an updated version of Mork's costume from Mork and Mindy. I didn't know they came in purple.

This was not a good episode. It wasn't " Elvis raised the dead with his guitar " LoT bad, but it was definitely not good. The whole thing with her "costume" was dumb, seeing as how she was wearing the freaking thing as a jacket at the hospital when she got her powers. But then when she has to dash off the first time, she has to steal Caitlin's clothes - which was a little creepy - and when she leaves the next time, Cisco presents the jacket to her as if it were something new. Then, when Iris needs help using her powers, Barry is suddenly dumb and forgets how his powers work, or the state of mind that helped him learn certain things; like phasing through matter. And I'm fairly certain he's given those instructions to others before; maybe Jesse or Wally.
The piece de resistance had to be how they bring this new bus meta to Star Labs to switch the powers back. There's Barry all decked out in his suit and mask, hiding his identity, but everyone else is just standing there like it's any other Tuesday, in the heart of Star Labs, with a total stranger; letting it be known that yes, even the Flash is vulnerable to these abilities. And Cisco blurts out that he has powers too. And how did this meta even figure out he had powers, or how they worked? Wouldn't he have to meet a meta first and work out that he stole their ability and either kept it or passed it on to someone else? Was the thing in the bank his first realizing any of that?

Yeah, I agree with dazz. these stupid motorcycle outfits are NOT superhero costumes! It's not as if the rest of this show is so grounded that they couldn't have a real comics like costume.

They should make the costumes out of Under Armour material like this Or make them out of whatever yoga pants/leggings are made of.

Looks so much better than what they're using.

They did. I almost forgot about that and that was the episode where Lana was naughty and abused her powers to take out her revenge on Lex and unlike Iris and Lois the powers corrupted her and she had to be stopped.

Well Lana always had a dark side to her, despite the trying to make us think she was the sweet girl next door. Her getting powers finally allowed her to do what she always wanted to do and be the true version of herself.

The one I meant was with Lois, and if memory serves it was the second to last episode of the series; where for "reasons," Jor-El stripped Clark of his powers and gave them to Lois. I think in the course of the episode, Lois becomes brainwashed or manipulated, or something... And by the end the experience made her flip flop again about wanting to marry Clark, because she felt he should be super all the time, and being married to her would be a distraction. The only reason I recall that was because I was so annoyed by the final episode, I wrote my own alternative fan fiction; and had to resolve the dangling plot thread of Lois wanting to call off the wedding from the previous episode. Which I did by retconning it as something Clark had up with "Jor-El" as a sort of wedding present they were meant to get to enjoy; and Clark was never really depowered, and Lois' were temporary.

I don't remember much of the series finale of Smallville except for the time skip at the very end which I love.

Clark and Lois are all set to get married in the present day, only for it to be interrupted; so naturally they're still not married, what, 8 years later...? And then there was the Chloe/Oliver child, and the comic book about Superman, which presumably did not have all of the details a normal Superman comic would have, like his secret identity....

Her getting powers finally allowed her to do what she always wanted to do and be the true version of herself. Yes. She did but I think Lex brought out that darkside in her more with the things he did to her in the previous season. When she got powers again later she was a different person and one that was at more peace despite Lex making it that Clark and her could never be together 'cause of the Kryptonite suit. It was said she went on to be a superhero in her own right in another city and while I was never a big fan of Lana I felt sorry for Lana fans that they didn't show an episode with that 'cause she was such a big part of the first half of the show.

Ohhh. I know what episode you are talking about now. Sorry, the other episode came to mind first 'cause it was more memorable to me but thinking back I do remember the one with Lois getting powers in 'Smallville' and one change I did like that they made in 'Smallville' with Lois was how she knew Superman was Clark Kent before he become Superman and how she was the one who helped him come up with the disguise 'cause she has always been the butt of a lot of jokes over the years for not working out Clark Kent was Superman sooner when she worked with him everyday and they did that in 'Man of Steel' in a way too but I never saw the chemistry between Lois and Clark in 'Man of Steel' like I did in 'Smallville' and it felt very rushed and I think they should have spread it out and not had them get together until the third or fourth movie 'cause with 'Smallville' you had all the years of history between Lois and Clark from past seasons but in 'Man of Steel' it felt very rushed.

While the Lois' both know Clark's secret, the Smallville Lois Lane is much better at keeping it. I was gobsmacked by all the times Lois called Superman Clark in front of people in Man of Steel and Justice League.
