What episode or when will he appear I think near the Winter Finale episode I'm guessing I can't to see what he looks like
Any ideas or any thoughts -

I'm pretty sure that was Alchemy.
Not to say Savitar won't wear gauntlets as it sounds likely by all accounts. When I designed him I made specific parts of his attire metallic for a reason -to separate him from previous speedsters but also to imbue the subliminal notion in the reader that the guy is so fast and agile that his fashion decisions aren't hindered by mundane considerations like being comfortable on his wardrobe. He wants to look menacing above all things. Anything he likes and decides to wear to do so isn't going to slow him down one single bit and he wants you to know that even at a subconscious level. So I took Sean Connery in Zardoz, armored him up a bit and submitted it with a color palette suggestion -jet black with blue highlights and copper with silver alloy/acccents- that was ignored for reasons unbeknownst to me up up to this very day.
Whatever they end up doing -I'm not in the know actually, although not for lack of trying- I just hope they make the mask/faceplate somehow similar to the original and that they keep the energy-bleeding scar in the chest. It's been done to death in recent years but aesthetically speaking it was kinda fresh back in the day and also, there was an internal logic to it story-wise. -

Hoping so, fingers crossed. Apparently I applied just in time -as soon as I heard the rumours- but I won't know for sure until next year, probably.
I just hope my name appears somewhere in the end credits, with a bit of luck. Not for me, but my mom was a big fan of the 90s show -that coincidentally aired in my country around the time that I got my break into comics and started working on the book- and I was still fairly young so she was always good-heartedly bragging about that to anybody who would listen. She would've liked that a lot. -

Soooo what are your thoughts on Savitar's live-action design?
Also, is it still true that if the character is changed enough in his appearance on TV, it can actually impact your chances of receiving licensing fees? -

Well, as I said, I have no idea. I applied the claim on time, or so I was told by the legal dept at Warners, but I won't know for sure what effects -if any- that claim will have until next year or so after the next reunion where the execs gather to discuss licensing issues, fees and such -apparently, this is an actual thing that happens every few months-.
Concerning my particular opinion about the character design issue, you catch me during a brief job break so I don't have enough time right now to elaborate properly. I'll try to do so later whenever I get some more time to spare but in short form I'll tell you that I don't like it -with all due respects to the series' artistic team, who usually do an amazing job-. Many reasons. I'll explain ASAP. -

Wow:
Big fan. Good to see you on here. . .would be REALLY interested in your views on the visuals for the show. From my perspective, it ranges from amazing to terrible. But usually it's one of the things that keeps me coming back; for my money the stories are pretty silly.
Would also love your perspective on the upcoming movie.
Again: love your work. Incredible stuff.

It's The Flash. Many of his opponents (and allies) are speedsters, just as most of Green Arrow's enemies and allies are archers or proficient in hand-to-hand, and non-firearms weapons combat, and just as Supergirl's are generally alien in origin.

Savitar is rumored to show up in tonight's episode and next episode, then will sit out the big crossover episode between the four superhero shows, and appear in the Winter hiatus where Alchemy's identity is revealed just like last season we learned who Zoom was (kind of) in the mid-season finale.
