Iris West-Allen suits up in new ‘The Flash’ promo art

The Flash is on a brief hiatus from The CW at the moment. During that time the network continues to tease the back half of the season. Releasing the synopsis for upcoming episodes we’ve learnt that Barry will temporarily lose his powers to wife Iris.

With that we’ve received confirmation as to why Candice Patton was caught in a hero costume in recent set photos. Head down the page for a full look at Iris in costume!

The new episode, titled “Run, Iris, Run” airs on Tuesday, March 13 in the US, and is described as follows:

“Team Flash confronts a new bus meta, Matthew AKA Melting Pot (guest star Leonardo Nam), with the ability to swap people’s DNA. During a battle with Team Flash, Harold transfers Barry’s (Grant Gustin) super speed to Iris (Candice Patton). Now, with a new threat unleashed on Central City, Barry must act as the team leader while Iris takes on the mantle of superhero speedster in order to defeat their new foe.”

Harry Jierjian directs the episode written by Eric Wallace.

The Flash stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin.
