The argument among fans between which Flash is better - between Grant Gustin & Ezra Miller, tends to see the favor of Gustin's portrayal of the character a lot more, but a new question between the Scarlet Speedster's has emerged.

Which Flash has better nanotech?

Both versions of The Flash applied the use of nanotechnology relatively much later in their superhero careers. 

For Gustin, the first we saw his character's use of nanotechnology was in The Flash Season 7 premiere; upon the speedster waking up from his much needed rejuvinating & rechargable nap, in hopes of defeating Mirror Monarch.

Miller's Flash on the other hand, showcased his character first using the technology in his titular-titled film, for his new, and technollogicaly-advanced suit, which was a gift from Bruce Wayne.

Of course, The Flash-film had a budget 100-times more expensive than a single Flash episode which airs on The CW, so for most people, the quality of the nanotechnology would be in the films favor.

The film also succeeds in the nanotechnology-cowl interfering with an environment i.e., Ezra Miller's hair, which we see strands of being moved upon his cowl retracting in his suit, while Gustin's hair remains untouched, as if nothing was ever concealing his head in the first place.

There are many other nit-picky differences between the two, but that is ultimately up for you as the fans to decide.

Whose nanotechnology do you prefer more?

Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation. With no other superheroes to turn to, the Flash looks to coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian -- albeit not the one he's looking for.

The Flash is a 2023 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Produced by DC Studios, Double Dream, and The Disco Factory, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the 13th installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film was directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson, based on a story by Joby Harold and the writing team of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

It stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash alongside Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, and Michael Keaton. In the film, Barry travels back in time to prevent his mother's death, which brings unintended consequences.

I don’t see why he needs one. He can’t change at super speed so how fast the cowl goes on or where he hides it doesn’t mean anything

I finally saw The Flash Saturday... i won't post what i did yesterday but long story is it was a MAJOR let down, but not as big of a dumpster fire as some on here have said... however, i actually really liked his suit in the movie, it was solid.

@MotherGooseUPus - Our opinions line up on this one too.

Not a great movie but not the worst DCEU movie. Maybe a 6/10. The core story with the family was good, double Ezra was annoying, special effects were mostly bad, and Batman/Supergirl/Zod felt wasted.

@mountainman - hahaha that's pretty much exactly what I said. The opening scene and the jail break were the best part of the movie. Young Barry super f*cking annoying. CGI has some really bad parts. Batman was pretty good but Def wasted. I liked supergirl but wish she had more to do. Zod and "black flash" were both just a waste. But yea I think I gave it a 6/10 as well... hell.. I liked it more than Thor L&T lol

@MotherGooseUPus - Definitely better than L&T.

The opening sequence, besides the terrible baby stuff, was cool. I liked Affleck and Gadot in their cameos.

Keaton was fine I’m just disappointed his role was essentially to get killed repeatedly to help the villain’s arc.

Neither. I just don't like these nanotech suit-ups. Not just when Flash does it, but whenever every superhero does. Only one that makes sense to me was Iron Man, even if that was less cool than actual suit-ups

CW suit was nice. The film one was just ok for me. Not bad, just ok.

The nanotech suit ups only really should have been for Stark. Its so unnecessary that everyone has nanotech since when did the superhero world turn into go go power rangers. Characters like spiderman and Flash should simply take off their mask with their bare hands, seeing green goblin and tobey maguires masks constantly come and go with some cheap cgi effect would have ruined Spiderman 1 for me

It should be explained the reason why the TV series opted for nanotech was because they always had to make cuts in-between scenes when Barry was going to remove his cowl, it's actually difficult to remove it in RL as well and not as easy as it's on the comics or as one would think. And that obviously applied to both versions.

But I am going with Grant's because like with everything regarding the movie it did it first as well and the animation was good for the budget they had by Season 7. It became smoother in S8 with that said but I always thought it looked more at first like a Speed Force construct.









Honestly the whole TV suit > the movie versions. It's crazy that with all the years they had to develop it the final design still looked off.
