It's finally here, The Flash fans! Your first look at Grant Gustin in full Flash costume is above.

We previously got a sneak peek at the Glee star in costume with a just a headshot, but this new photo has us so ready for the CW's take on the classic DC Comics character.

"I hope the fans who treasure the character are as excited as we are by what costume designer Colleen Atwood has achieved with this latest version of The Flash's iconic suit," David Nutter, the director and executive producer of The CW's Flash pilot, said in a statement.

Costume designer Colleen Atwood's work also Oscar-winning designs for Alice in Wonderland, Memoirs of a Geisha and Chicago.

Gustin made his debut as Barry Allen on The CW's Arrow. In comics lore, police scientist Barry Allen is given the power of super speed after a freak accident. He becomes the Fastest Man Alive and fights crime as The Flash.

The Flash also stars Candice Patton, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin. The star of the 1990s Flash TV series, John Wesley Shipp, will appear in the pilot in a mysterious role. The Flash pilot hails from Nutter, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and takes place in the same universe as The CW's Arrow.
