Not to be outdone, Diggle will be getting a new costume. However, an official image wasn’t released, so the available is much lower res.

It’s also been confirmed that Jay Garrick, DC Comics’ original Flash from the 1940s, will be appearing in season two of The Flash and will be played by Teddy Sears (Masters of Sex). The iconic helmet of the Earth 1 version of the character was teased at the end of last season.
According to producers, Garrick is “a mysterious figure” who visits Central City to warn Barry Allen and the S.T.A.R. Labs team of “an impending danger.”
Additionally, the show announced that Shantel VanSanten (The Messengers) has been cast as Patty Spivot, who will be Det. Joe West’s new partner and a “science enthusiast” who may have a crush on the Flash.

Both Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin will voice their respective characters on the show, which will run six episodes. The title character is played by Megalyn Echikunwoke (The Following). No word yet on when Vixen will debut.
