Yahoo News The Flash filming pictures reveal Nora's superhero suit
New photos taken during the filming for The Flash's upcoming fifth season have revealed Nora West-Allen's superhero costume for the first time – and she definitely looks like a natural.
Actress Jessica Parker Kennedy was pictured wearing a black and white outfit that's emblazoned with a yellow flash logo (of course), along with a black eye mask.

In The Flash's season four finale Nora revealed her identity as the daughter of Barry Allen / The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Iris West (Candice Patton), having arrived from the future, and claiming to have made a "big, big mistake".
Series showrunner Todd Helbing has promised that the fifth season will open "right where we left off", with Jessica Parker Kennedy being promoted to a series regular, so it won't be too long until we get to find out exactly what her awful secret is.

Nora isn't the only character with a shiny new costume, with Barry also being treated to a new suit ahead of the new season.
Season 5 will see Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer) and Cecille Horton (Danielle Nicolet) both being promoted to series regulars too, as well as introducing a new gender-swapped character.
Actress Kiana Madeira has been cast as Spencer Young (aka Spin), a character who is traditionally portrayed as male in the DC comics.

The TV version of Spin will be a social media influencer who decides to make the most of the publicity surrounding a new hero in Central City.
Season five will also introduce a new villain in the form of Cicada, a "grizzled, blue-collar everyman" who wants to wipe out metahumans to settle a family grudge.
He'll be played by Chris Klein, who's best known for playing Oz in the American Pie movies.
The Flash is back for season 5 on Tuesday, October 9 at 8pm on The CW. Sky One airs the show in the UK.
