I think I see something in his eye..

[roach]

its venom....

[Immortalfire]

That's what I figured.

[Chris Wallace]

What was awesome?! He crouched there in front of the camera telling you to vote. He did NOTHING Spider-man except wear the costume.

Next he'll be promoting the guy in the Visa commercial.
When are we gonna get posts recommending THAT suit?

[roach]

what about the suit in the visa commercial

[El Payaso]

Then fans will protest that change.

Who the hell cares?

Did anyone complain about Joker's face-painting reasons in TDK? Scratch that, did anyone care about those compaints?

[chaseter]

Yes, yes they did.

Is Ed "Too Tall" Jones, too tall?

I don't know the guy. Maybe it's just the nickname.

[roach]

Before TDK came out these boards were rife with complains of Joker looking like the crow and Nolan messing up the most iconic villain of all time.

after TDK came out only a few cared

[chaseter]

I rarely venture onto the Batboards but I remember the good 'ole makeup vs permawhite thread.

Dude, we have been over this. The rules don't apply where Nolan is concerned. He doesn't have to follow the source material because he's Nolan. He can kill puppies with splinters and get away with it because he's Nolan. He pisses platinum and is above reproach or criticism of any kind. The only director we are permitted to hold in similar regard on these boards is Webb. Praise or defense of any other filmmaker will be met with extreme vengeance.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

This is what happens with a lack of any real news or pictures.

[Chris Wallace]

Sometimes it happens when you HAVE news or pics. I remember when the first black suit pic came out, there was all kinds of speculation that it was fake, that it was a trick of the light, that it wasn't really a color photo-and my personal favorite: that Spidey had switched to a black suit because he was in mourning. People tried to convince us that the first Goblin pics were fake, that the Superman Returns suit was actually brightly colored but the pics were badly lit, the first Ledger/Joker pic was fake & he was actually perma-white, it goes on & on. Some people live for gossip & innuendo.

[Droogoonie789]

In the comics he had no real reason. He just wanted to be theatrical to get Spidey's attention. I believe he duped Spidey into thinking they were going to be doing a movie together.

According to the Wikipedia page, the Goblin persona was from nightmares Norman had as a young boy. The page links it to Peter Parker: Spider-Man vol. 2 #25. That would require quite a bit of exposition, but over the course of several movies they might be able to achieve it.

[roach]

yeah that was a recent addition to the mythos

[NinjaCarm]

yeah that was a recent addition to the mythos

So?

[roach]

are you just bound and determined to fight me at every turn

[NinjaCarm]

are you just bound and determined to fight me at every turn

Are you? I asked a simple question.

[socool]

Are you? I asked a simple question.

But the question was one provoking him. Why did you even ask it in the first place?

[NinjaCarm]

But the question was one provoking him. Why did you even ask it in the first place?

It's Spider-Man thread team up now is it? Why does anyone in here ask a question? For the answer.

[chaseter]

What was the question?

[ModestMr.Green]

According to the Wikipedia page, the Goblin persona was from nightmares Norman had as a young boy.

'Why goblins, sir?'

'Goblins frighten me...it's time my enemies shared my dread.'

[PreK]

It's Spider-Man thread team up now is it? Why does anyone in here ask a question? For the answer.
Doesn't look like he was contending you at all. It read like he was just adding a tidbit to the information previously stated. If I may answer your initial question: So -- nothing.

And today's word, boys & girls is "retcon".

[Hurm...]

'Why goblins, sir?'

'Goblins frighten me...it's time my enemies shared my dread.'LOL!!:woot:

[roach]

And today's word, boys & girls is "retcon".

yup when he came on the scene there was no explanation given for why he chose the goblin persona...other than he was nuttier than a fruitcake

[Chris Wallace]

'Why goblins, sir?'

'Goblins frighten me...it's time my enemies shared my dread.'

Good one.

[roach]

ahhh superherohype.com rule 38...every thread must contain a reference to TDK and Nolan

[Chris Wallace]

So far I haven't seen any in the Michael Jackson thread-despite the eerie similarities between the TDK suit & the HIStory tour getup.

[Eggyman]

are you saying that MJ faked his death just like Batman did at the end of DKR and is in a cave with an army of followers calling themselves the Sons of MJ...they mark themselves by painting a white glove on their face.....he is waiting for the time to strike and bring true justice to the world

[roach]

This made my day. :yay:

And today's word, boys & girls is "retcon".

It may be retcon, but it might make more sense to give him a legit reason for the Goblin persona other than being a complete nutbar. This was one of the many problems with Raimi's Spidey 1. I hate that perfect casting was wasted on bad character representation/design. Like Heath Ledger's Joker, but with a Power Ranger suit.

[roach]

so its ok that joker gets no explanation but not for goblin????

[El Payaso]

so its ok that joker gets no explanation but not for goblin????

You mean we shouldn't even know he's Norman Osbourne? Green Goblin comes out of the blue?

And it's not even like I'm against the idea.

[roach]

thats how it was in the comics

[Chris Wallace]

Didn't a solid 10 years pass before we found out Gobby's story? And wasn't it something like 40 before we got Joker's?

[Crockett]

But if they ever do have Green Goblin as a villain in a SM movie I wouldn't mind if it were similar to "Spectacular Spider-Man" in terms of portrayal.

[Mrpaul]

Well it's official. They're going with spandex as Andrew addressed in the interview

[Chris Wallace]

You weren't honestly thinking it would be leather or rubber or something, were you?

[Eggyman]

That's the second time he's said it. It doesn't mean much. Spandex is the go-to name when talking about superhero fashion. He could just be using the name loosely; meaning it's fairly lightweight and form-fitting... like the last suit, although you look at that and it doesn't look like spandex.

[Chris Wallace]

Many people use the term loosely, in that exact sense.

[El Payaso]

thats how it was in the comics
Didn't a solid 10 years pass before we found out Gobby's story?

Then I'm all for it.

And wasn't it something like 40 before we got Joker's?

I remember a comics from the 1940's or 1950's where Joker himself explained the red mask/chemical vat origin story.

[Silver Knight]

Should have made it CGI.

[Eggyman]

Many people use the term loosely, in that exact sense.

We're on the same page, rubber ducky.

[NinjaCarm]

I cannot wait to see this brand new suit! I think Andrew used the term "spandex" loosely btw.

[Gunga Diner]

should have made it cgi.
("i know, right!?!?")

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I think Garfield meant what he said, at least in the sense that it'll be similiar to the previous costume. Thin, form fitting spandex like material. If it wasn't like spandex, he would've just said "costume". Can't wait to finally get a look at it.

[Chris Wallace]

We're on the same page, rubber ducky.

As is often the case, I've found out.
@ Whirlwind-that doesn't contradict what Eggy said.

[NinjaCarm]

Here's a sketch I did of a possible look for the mask, I've always been a fan of the rounded eyes as well.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f111/batboy99/spideymask.jpg


Probably a little too much webbing, but along the lines as to how I'd like to see the mask look.

Gotta say I like this alot, very Steve Ditko.

That is amazing! :wow: I really hope that its going to be something like that.

[chaseter]

I sort of like how the webs kind of look like veins.

[Gianakin_]

Loving the costume, and it's got the Bagley eyes (sorta). Good job.

[Chris Wallace]

I sort of like how the webs kind of look like veins.

Reminds me of Venom.

[Ajendo]

Eh? What picture are YOU looking at, Chris?

[spider-neil]

I can't hear that line anymore without getting angry.

GL = car crash

You know you shouldn't look but you just can't turn away

[spidermanJLA!~]

http://neutralzonecomics.com/images/arossmbspidey.jpg

Ahem.

Don't you guys think this would be a nice change for the eyes? And the webs are nice and dark so they stand out.

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1761/mrspiderman3maskclassic.jpg




Hmmm. Hard decision. But I must say, as much as I like the big eyes, I am a supporter of a comic costume so I must the smaller eyes win. What do you guys like better? Big or Small?

[Gamma Burst]

Smaller, but not so small that he looks like he's squinting.

[NinjaCarm]

Hmmm. Hard decision. But I must say, as much as I like the big eyes, I am a supporter of a comic costume so I must the smaller eyes win. What do you guys like better? Big or Small?

I'm all about the smaller eyes in this reboot! Differentiate from the prior trilogy, again Raimi's costume was great, but I feel the smaller Romita Sr, Gill Kane eyes are the way to go.

I guess we will know soon (I hope!):yay:

[roach]

or huge Todd Macfarlane eyes

[Chris Wallace]

Hmmm. Hard decision. But I must say, as much as I like the big eyes, I am a supporter of a comic costume so I must the smaller eyes win. What do you guys like better? Big or Small?

That statement is a little puzzling because he's worn both in the comics, depending on the artist. I like a nice medium size. Bagley's are too big, Dell'Otto's are too small. Ross' are too small.

[Ajendo]

For me, the size of the eyes depend on how the overall size of spidey is and how the costume looks. Larsen, McFarlane and Bagley drew big eyes that worked for me.

whats your good size for spidey eyes then?

[Immortalfire]

Spidey's eyes don't need to be half the size of his head.

[nogap87]

I like smallish eyes because it makes him look mellow.

[roach]

Spidey's eyes don't need to be half the size of his head.

3/4s his head?

[Silver Knight]

What are the chances the costume gets leaked in some set pics?

[terry78]

Spidey's eyes don't need to be half the size of his head.

Who started drawing him like that? Was it McFarlane? I think Marvel chose to go that route at some point to make him look less sinister.

[Eggyman]

Probably not bad. But give them a couple of months to find their feet and we'll have a pro-mo shot. I remember when I first saw the Raimi Spidey suit in a local rag. I didn't have internet at the time. It was the one where he was crouched on the building, artist rendered, and I've seen it knocking about here not long ago. It was accurate to what we got. I think studios are more secretive now--about everything--because they're sore from things being revealed before they want them to be. But hopefully, they understand that a costume isn't a big thing to keep hidden and will grace us with some red and blue awesomeness soon enough.

I'm all for a bit of fuzzy spi-cam before that though.

[White_Knight191]

I think it was Alex Saviuk, McFarlane started drawing after him in ASM #298. Or am I wrong?

Your guess is as good as mine, pal. Who knows with these Hollywood types?

I loved Alex Saviuk's Web of Spider-Man run. He was actually close friends to the Romitas. Great stuff.
http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/images/spiderman_web/087.jpg

[Pac-Master]

Maybe in about May or June. In July, they'll show footage, so I think there will probably be some time past from the first official pic of the suit to the footage. Kind of like Thor.

I think it means the fabric, not the design. From what it sounds, this movie isn't gonna change too much. It sounds pretty safe so far. I don't think we have to worry until the first photos and clips

[Brian Braddock]

goes to show what matters to hollywood..we are arguing about eyes and they spent hours on his bulge

Almost the exact same story come out about Routh and his 'bulge' just before Superman Returns. I guess if you're the lead in one of these movies and you dont have a 'we had to conceal his big crotch' story imminating from the costume department, then its time to get a little insecure and work hard on that personality and sense of humour.

[terry78]

So the crotch is to superheroes what the cleavage is to superheroines.

Yes. I'd rather it to be current high tech.

[JustABill]

I feel like with every superhero we get now, there's always the obligatory ''Yeah, they had to conceal his bulge because it was so fricking big." We got it with Routh for Superman, we got it with Garfield now, I believe we also got it for someone else, but I could be mistaken.

This is how Spidey should be portrayed, the suit is flawless. Rami's verison is too precise and too perfectly skiny tight to be designed and constructed by a high school student. This adds that touch of realism Rami's version lacked. Was his suit terrible, not by any means. It was perfect, but too perfect. This suit actually looks plausable.

[chaseter]

Oh god here we go again about the suit realism.

id like a version of that suit...but add a lil bit more style like hobo123's manip recently...like it doesnt have to be skin tight necessarily...but if it has a lil bit more flair like the manip added...itd be an amazing suit and id prolly prefer it over raimis

Zombie horses can be difficult. Same for zombie discussions.

Everyone's always going to have an opinion. One discussion about a topic coming to a relative close isn't going to end those opinions, or necessarily change anyone's mind - especially anyone who wasn't involved with said discussion. It's a forum, it happens.

There's only so much you an do. While the consensus is "make it different from the Raimi/Acheson suit", you can only go so far before it no longer looks like Spider-Man.

[rcazzy]

All in the details and overall feel, really. I look at every little piece and pick out the bits I prefer visually then hopefully find or make a manip of what I imagine.

To which I would say again, only so much you can do before you lose the integrity of the character's look.

[Doctor Jones]

Indeed. people are going in expecting to see Spider-Man. There should be minor alterations. But just because it doesn't change much, doesn't mean it will look like and be the Raimi suit. Like Chris said, there's only so much you can do until it's not Spider-Man. It's like Superman.

[SuperAl]

This is how Spidey should be portrayed, the suit is flawless. Rami's verison is too precise and too perfectly skiny tight to be designed and constructed by a high school student. This adds that touch of realism Rami's version lacked. Was his suit terrible, not by any means. It was perfect, but too perfect. This suit actually looks plausable.

they dont look that different besides there being no shine. i only think that pic looks better cuz spidey is skinny rather than having a normal build.

[Chris Wallace]

I don't want Spidey looking emaciated.

[roach]

you could argue the superman returns suit was 'technically the same' as the comic superman suit.

the suit was blue
the trunks, boots and cape was red
he had the big \S/

yet the suit was an absolute MESS

agreed..a minor change here and a minor changer there..after a while all those minor changes equal a big change

[Chris Wallace]

With Superman Returns it seemed they forgot what the suit was supposed to convey. They took something that was intentionally big & bold and minimized it. My biggest worry with Spider-Man is that they might do as some fanboys suggest, & make the suit look cheap for the sake of "realism".

[marvelman2006]

I cant see the costume looking like the previous one but more skinny and the webbing not so thick and pushed out.

I was expecting them to take the reeves suit and 'spidify' it. give the suit more depth with silk screen muscles and give the boots and cape a little more texture and that's it.

what singer did with it was a disgrace.

raimi knocked it out of the park with his spidey suit. if they made the suit exactly the same but with 'romita eyes', black webs and a big round spider on the back that would be perfect.

A lot of people did. I remember some fake "concept art" pics that were posted before the suit was revealed, which looked prety much like what you described. I knew they were fake because he was CLEARLY wearing Keaton's Batman belt, but a lot of people fell for it.

Close Encounters of the Spider Kind

[Spideyfan93]

When people wear dark sun glasses, black ones, people always refer to Matrix and MIB. It was influential on culture.

[Chris Wallace]

Everyday I wake up I hope so see s set pic with the costume.

Sony is going to withhold that for as long as possible. And there won't be any sneaking pics out the back door like they did with the Green Goblin. Not this time. My prediction is Entertainment Weekly will debut the first image & we won't even be able to thoroughly see the costume.

[©KAW]

I thought the costumes in The Matrix were great, fit the film to a Tee. But those were mostly fashion type designs. It's different with a 50 year old character who has an iconic costume. Spider-Man's suit is so unique that it's hard to change something without it being noticed. It's like the eyes know where every line goes. That's why it's best to keep it classic. A few tweaks here and there and be on your way.

[craigdbfan]

[Silver Knight]

Guys we will be getting something hi-tech remember.

[superkong 500]

Actually I wonder what kind of material will be used for the suit. I guess when they say hi tech they mean the texture or material been used for the suit.

But I just can't wrap my head around the idea of the suit looking different from the raimi films. That suit was pretty much perfect, if anything they could mess it up. i hope not, I will be really amazed if they come up with something even better. The only changes I would like design wise would be black webbing on the suit(instead of silver/greyish) and maybe slightly more menacing looking lenses, but even the lenses may be pushing it, depending on how they approach it.

[craigdbfan]

I'm hoping they go with a mixture of an actual costume using spandex/lycra as well as post production CGI to mess with color and shading.

I'm hoping they go with the more classical look including the eyes which can be more rounded out. Still use lenses but change the shape of the eye along with the black outline, they can also make the actual lens white and not some off white or gray. More organic and round and less angular like the Raimi films. Again the costume from the first Spider-Man films was close to perfect already. It doesn't mean that we can't get another great authentic and faithful interpretation.

Here's what I'm hoping they go for:

I like the webbing style, but I'm not sure about the zippers. *ponders* Well not so much the zippers, but the fingerless glove look mostly; otherwise, I think it's pretty solid. Maybe loose the gloves to normal long gloves, more discreet zipper, and maybe make the blue a tiny bit darke; should be good to go after that. Oh, and Spidey always needs the spider logo on the chest. :word:

[NinjaCarm]

WTF :huh::huh::huh:

I don't understand the "WTF" mentality approach to this design, for a real world look and style this is simply perfect instead of a costume without seems which doesn't make sense. It maintains the integrity of the original Spider-Man costume quite well without overbearing the eye with a "sports" approach, only slight. It looks as though someone would have made it in the real world and believable. This is perfect for this style reboot, IMO.

'Nuff Said.

[Doctor Jones]

We haven't really seen much to indicate what "style" this reboot will go in.

I don't get the whole "This looks like it could be made in the real world instead of s costume that doesn't make sense" mentality. What about the costume wouldn't make sense? Or maybe I'm taking it the wrong way. Because the zippers could be an indication of what you're saying or that it would be believable that Peter could make it himself. It really doesn't make sense at all. When making a costume for the real world, it's about making it have dimension and not to make it look too silly because the comic is a drawing, so some aesthetics like fabric will be different. But if it's something like Spider-Man, it shoudn't be too complex. His suit is a very simple design and it's not hard to **** it up unless you're really trying. And the zippers and the padded look makes that so. I'm fine with the rest of the suit. Spider-Man isn't hard to bring into the real world, but the stuff like the zippers and gloves are going too far. What the hell is the point of putting them there? We don't care how he made it or how he puts it on. What matters is how it looks and if it looks good.

Is it really that hard to not understand why someone would be repelled by that costume?

Might have something to do with the costume used in the Raimi series, whether you like the movies or not it was one of the best, if not the best costume design both in concept and execution in superhero movie history. Ask anyone and they'll tell you it was one of the much better handled approaches to an iconic superhero's costume on film.

It was faithful, sleek, and magical seeing it in action. It was everything a Spider-Man fan could have asked for visually wise. That Action UltraMax Spider-Man bootleg made in unknown country design is repulsive and stomps on the integrity of Spider-Man if anything.

I can completely understand why someone would get a "WTF!?" reaction if that were actually what they were going for. Which I'm most certain they aren't, if "modern" or "high tech" was ever mentioned they probably mean that the costume design team along with Sony Imageworks are going about approaching the costume in terms of material and possible CGI to assist in color/shading.

People need a reminder every now and then on how great the Raimi costume was:

http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/spider-man-2_l.jpg

I'm sure Webb is a smart guy and will stay faithful and will only enhance or just go with a different style variant's from the plethora of costume design from the comics.

Using Raimi's design and the stronger designs from the comics as a base is the smart approach.

I want webs under the arms.

I'd love if they did that. It isn't a must but Sony Imagework has actually been getting much better in recent years I believe they could pull it off.

How is adding grittiness to Spider-Man thinking outside of the box when its become the norm in Hollywood to "grittitize" everything that needs refurbishing?

Come on man.

Anyway I'm glad thats not the vibe I'm getting from Webb or this production in general. I see them embracing the more tradition visual aspects of the Spider-Man franchise if Gwen Stacy's so far spot on representation is anything to go by. Webb's admiration of Raimi's costume and love for the original Ditko/Lee run also imply that we are going to get something relatively faithful in design.

You simply have to add a sense on not insulting the intelligence of the audience, which I saw way too much of in the prior trilogy.

I always reference the first TMNT film from 1990. Very little cheese, a lot of grit, and one hell of a good movie and a great interpretation of the comic it was based on. It still holds up extremely well, given the references of the times of course.

IMO, I want this quality for Spider-Man. I'm tired of cheese. Period. Period. Period. Period. Period. PERIOD. I don't wanna see Spider-Man cruising thru the night hanging people and slicing their necks and everyone running around cursing and wearing scars and anything Frank Miller-esque. It's the simple task of NOT INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE with contrived acting and gags.

Yeah, I would tone down the zippers a bit on that costume, but I still say it's brilliant. Ok? I love it. It took some conscious thought, some observation to come up with that. I love it.

[craigdbfan]

Those are the places were Webb and Sony Imagework have a chance to improve on.

That's why a mixture of CGI/motion capture with a real costume is the way to go. CGI can easily create cresses at the neck to help the overall movement of the costume. We are in a time where that form of vfx illusion is becoming the most believable.

Adding zippers and grittiness and real life practicality and basically butchering the Spider-Man costume design that was pulled off as close to perfection in its first cinematic attempt would be undermining everyone's ability to use their imagination to suspend disbelief.

That's what I find insulting.

Find a way and get back to me. Because I stand my ground on that statement 1000%. The first TMNT film is grossly underrated, was WAY less cheesier than Raimi's Spider-Man.

Anyway, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Spidey's costume is so basic and simplistic in design that there are numerous ways to vary the look of the costume without compromising the overall aesthetic, iconic look as evidenced over the last 49 years.

Raimi's costume was fantastic and a proud adaptation of the costume, however, just because this is a reboot the costume doesn't need some radical change just for the sake of change. Just compare various artists' takes at drawing spidey, they're all the same but simultaneously different.
