Spider-Man Reboot Costume, OMG The Shoes Are SILVER! - Part 3

[TheWallCrawler]

Possibly. Neither of us really had the skill to recolour just the yellow parts so she just went over the entire thing with a bit of white... But considering Spidey's eyes are completely white in the comics, can you ever really be too white? :)


Well, I love those big white eyes Spidey has in the comics, but some things just wont work as live action.

Raimis Spiderman costume had white eyes, but it didn't have that bright white tone because it would look a little weird and distracting in live action

[JustRob]

Different webbing pattern, different gloves / boots pattern and the part on the upper arms and lower legs, silver lining on the boots, no belt, black crotch, see-through lower mask (according to some people here).

Yea, especially if they are trying to go for a darker look for this film...
One day though, I'd like to see big white eyes in a live-action Spidey movie... I'm sure eventually someone will find a way to make it work :)

[GoldGoblin]

So this costume doesn't have lens and we will see the actor's eyes through this mesh.

Exactly, you can also see his mouth through the mask as well.

[GoldGoblin]

The mouth,how?That sounds like crap.

[GoldGoblin]

[Darkness Falls]

how is that crap ?
its a mask.....not a helmet

[SpiderMan]

You can kind of see it in the second officially released photo. Notice how the fabric over his mouth is a different shade of red than the rest of the mask. There are also some set photos where you can see it as well. There is one in particular where Spider-Man is standing next a column where you can see his mouth and nose clearly through the mask. I've been trying to find this picture again but it is buried within one of the three "Suit Discussion" threads.

What this forum needs is a pictures thread with absolutely no discussion so that it would be much easier to sort through.

I'm pretty sure it's a different material so that Spidey's jaw moves when he talks instead of staying still.

[Troy_Parker]

Jesus Christ... I hope we can't see his mouth.

Fair enough about the eyes... but not the mouth. :\

[SpiderMan]

I'm pretty sure it's a different material so that Spidey's jaw moves when he talks instead of staying still.
That may be part of it, but you can see his mouth through the mask either way. When I first noticed it I tried convincing myself that they used a different material over his mouth so that it would be easier to breath, but the more pictures I see the more apparent it is that it is done this way so you can see his mouth when he is talking.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I can't see his mouth. :huh:

[SpiderMan]

I can't see his mouth. :huh:
If you haven't noticed it yet, you will once they release an official photo with Spider-Man looking forward.

[chaseter]

I don't think you could see Tobey's mouth in the mask. I think they used a prosthetic that made the face more defined.

[Troy_Parker]

^ Yup. It was basically like a plastic hinged jaw thing. There's a lot of stuff on the BTS disc for the first movie.

[Alchemyst]

I don't think you could see Tobey's mouth in the mask. I think they used a prosthetic that made the face more defined.

yeah, inside the mask itself was a plastic head piece to give Spider-Man the rounded head shape, there was also a plastic jaw piece that would allow his mask to move whenever he spoke, similar to his mouth movements when he talks in costume on the cartoons and stuff

[ALP]

Visible mouth? Sounds silly, this isn't suppose to be a gimp mask or ski mask. I'm not head over heels in love but the official pics look nice.

[Saint]

I don't understand how anyone can stand here and say "You'll be able to see his mouth." It takes exactly one look at any of the photos to see that isn't true. I'm als baffled as to why anyone thinks we'll be able to see his eyes.

[socool]

I just looked through every spy photo and looked at the new photo with a fine tooth comb. The mouth is not visible.

[SpiderMan]

Whoever believes that his mouth is going to be visible is retarded.:dry:
I don't like you use of language. Anyways, I can't wait to see how upset you are when you realize you can see his mouth.

[Majik1387]

I don't like you use of language. Anyways, I can't wait to see how upset you are when you realize you can see his mouth.
I don't like your use of grammar/spelling error. :huh:

From unofficial set videos and set pics to official pics, the only time his mouth is visible is when he isn't wearing the mask. :whatever:

[SpiderMan]

Look at that picture, and then tell me you can't see his mouth through the costume :whatever:

[JustRob]

Yea but considering that is a set pic and his eyes are visible there too while we know for a fact that there are white lenses.... Let's hope to dear God that we can't see his mouth in the actual film.

[Majik1387]

You're pretty much saying the face version of a camel toe is your reason for why his mouth will be visible? :huh:

If that's what you mean by "seeing his mouth" then I welcome it! To be honest, I hated that the last costume used a face piece... It may have given it a consistent Spidey face, but sometimes it just didn't look right...

[The Riddler]

wait, you can see his eyes through the lenses?

[Fearghus]

I doubt they will be 100% visible, but I think you can.

I'm pretty sure they won't be so visible that they would be a distraction though...

[Spider-ManHero12]

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/02/04/article-1353626-0D0A1B8A000005DC-250_306x521.jpg

[TheWallCrawler]

yeah, you can see a little of the mouth. But the amount you can see the mouth is so tiny that it doesn't almost make any difference

[Deathlok]

I've just seen an official picture of the new costume from Sony and if this is the best they can do, then I feel I am going to be disappointed. I noticed they have left the bottom of the boots too dark to see the "silver slippers" which are over the soles/heel/toe of the boots. In fact everywhere the new costume significantly deviates from the original seems to be deliberately dark and obscured.

About the only thing I do like are the inclusion of mechanical web shooters.

I am also wondering what is that on the thumb of the glove? Is it a switch or a sticky pad, what?

I call that good advertising. Ever go on Facebook and see a butterface? her pictures are all of her chest and up, you don't want to show 'flaws'.

And the black squares on the gloves are, I'm assuming, triggers for the web shooters.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HGHxpUhDKRs/SSsEOrjzJyI/AAAAAAAAB7c/By7KwDhU5Ww/s400/webshooter.jpg

This wouldn't work, probably why they didn't follow through with it in Raimi's Spider-Man. You wouldn't be able to see the trigger in the glove and it would look funny.

This does make more sense, besides didn't webb state that the new suit would be more.... "high-tech"?

[Majik1387]

I'm pretty sure those small circle things on his fingertips are so he can wall crawl.
I mean, how exactly did Tobey's spider-leg things get through his costume in the Spidey movies?

Yeah, you're speaking in the fine language of ********, my friend. It's ****ing stupid that you can see the the mouth, there is nothing there. What kind of retarded coked up drunk ******* would allow you to see his mouth in the mask? That's like one of the main things they try to avoid in these suits :doh:

Honestly, reboot Spidey suit > Ditko.
Nothing against Ditko's design, but never cared for armpit webbing, and his blue clashes horribly with the red; granted, I'm sure it's because the time-frame, but even to that I say that time is over for a reason. And for those saying it's supposed to be black, not a fan and with the argument so many haters of the movie suit have, Spidey has mostly used blue, not black.
With that said, it is a good design, I just thing the movie design is better and still recognizable to be Spidey.

they should have it so we can see Spider-Mans mouth and jaw moving like in the cartoon show/comics :yay:

i didnt like in the Rami movies how the head was a helmet and you couldn't see his mouth move just just to add all the dialogue in post :o


costume still looks dumb but maybe it will look better in the new movie

[SuperZer0]

Stan Lee offers his thoughts on mechanical web-shooters:

Speaking to Comic Riffs on Wednesday, Lee recalls the logic behind his mythology:

"The one thing I liked about Peter's web-shooters was the fact that they made him more vulnerable," Lee says. "At any crucial moment he could run out of web fluid and be forced to rely on his wits."

Not that Lee, who now heads up POW! Entertainment, had any issues with Raimi's physical decision:

"The organic webs which Sam Raimi gave him -- and which Jim Cameron also would have given him had he directed the first Spidey film -- certainly worked beautifully in the movie, and perhaps allowed for better special effects than my idea of limited webbing might have done."

Concludes Lee: "Actually, I'm happy with either interpretation."

Jose Fernandez, the head of Ironhead studios, revealed that they have completed work on the new Spider-Man movie. Ironhead Studios is an effects firm specializing in costume and creature design.

What about IronHead Studios future projects? Is there another upcoming superheroes movie?

As a matter of fact we are currently working the Avengers and we just finished working on the new Spider-Man. There are a few others that I can't mention just yet.

Oh cool, so Spidey's wall crawling ability comes from his suit now. Hey, isn't that "nu and kewl and edgy" and far more realistic than that dumb, silly spider bite. :whatever:

[Stelze]

Oh cool, so Spidey's wall crawling ability comes from his suit now. Hey, isn't that "nu and kewl and edgy" and far more realistic than that dumb, silly spider bite. :whatever:

I think he meant that whatever makes him able to crawl walls can go through the gloves. Not that the gloves are what make him crawl walls.

Lock up your homes, the wave of nerdrage is coming!

[JustRob]

Meh they're changing too much. Fans of the films don't like these changes, especially the cosmetic ones. I don't care about the mechanical webshooters but like I said before them being on top of the suit looks so godafwul ugly.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Overall, I think SPidey will have the ability to stick the walls instead of having the suit make him stick, like some are saying. However, I am a bit worried that I'm wrong.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

I haven't seen anything to suggest that the suit has anything to do with his powers, that all started from people speculating about what we now know are webshooters on the wrists and the superfluous silver bits on the shoes.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ What about the things on his finger tips?

[Shivsguy616]

^^ What about the things on his finger tips?

As said, that's presumably to allow for him to stick to walls even though he has gloves on. Eg; if it's the same as the first film, they'd allow the hairs through.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Looking at the official pic, I don't see anything on his fingertips. Is there a pic where you can see something clearly there?

[cryptic name]

Oh cool, so Spidey's wall crawling ability comes from his suit now. Hey, isn't that "nu and kewl and edgy" and far more realistic than that dumb, silly spider bite. :whatever:

not only is that not really what he said, but it's also speculation from some random on the internet (even if it's a cool random like Majik), so relax. his powers are not going to come from his suit. i wish i could find the guy that started this stupid rumor and kick him in the shins.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Okay, saw the zoomed pics, with the tiny little bumps on the finger tips. Personally, if I had to guess, I'd say they're sensors for the webshooters. When he made the webshooters in the comics, Spidey had said that the trigger could differentiate between him pressing it on purpose, to fire webs, and by accident, say by making a fist or grabbing something. If he had sensors on the fingertips of the gloves, that would ensure that he only fired a web when he meant to.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily explain why there's one on the thumb, and on every finger when he usually only uses the middle two, but that's no reason to assume that he has some mechanical method for wall-crawling. The other theory, that the gloves are made to allow him to use his powers without getting in the way, is just as valid at this point.

[Spider-ManHero12]

As said, that's presumably to allow for him to stick to walls even though he has gloves on. Eg; if it's the same as the first film, they'd allow the hairs through. That what I've been thinking as well.

[Majik1387]

Yes, let me make it clear that I don't think the things on his finger tips is what makes him crawl ala the suit making him stick to walls.

I'm saying it might be a thinner fabric or even mesh that the little spider legs can get through to stick to the walls.

[JustRob]

I don't think the things on his fingertips are sensors for the webshooters. In the comics, the webshooters were made so he had to press the buttons twice in a row in order to shoot webs, and that's what prevented it from going off accidentally when making a fist.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Well, as we all know, they don't always do things exactly like the comics, so who knows?

[Troy_Parker]

I think it's to make it easier for him to wallcrawl.

l0l

Maybe they're laser targetters for his webshooter. ;)

xD

[JustRob]

Yea or maybe it allows him to move objects without touching them much like Luke Skywalker when using the Force.

[Oscorp]

I'm glad you guys are hoping that, although I would've been happier if it had been more obvious.

[Troy_Parker]

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Seemed pretty obvious to me, but I guess with the wacky things people on this board have come up with as actual theories, some people prefer not to assume. :p

Edit

"Spider-Man must face his greatest challenge yet... Myopia!"

When I use to work in a freezer and wore gloves the tips were the first part to wear down and get holes in them.

[Fearghus]

There is also a good chance that the fingertips are like that simply for design. . . Possibly just one of the many "useless" design changes?

[Ajendo]

Wait, so people are now thinking the suit is giving spidey powers???
Loooool Christ!...fanboys and their bull sh! t ...

They are going the TDK route after all!!!!!! Spider-man has no Superpowers, he is a dark vigilante who uses an advanced suit with a Spider theme to rage a bitter war on crime after his uncle was killed.

That because people here have all blinded each other by throwing so much bull crap around. It's only a matter of time before it gets into the eyes, making it hard to separate the usual crap from the new crap and it all just becomes one big pile of crap that gets served up and predicatbly gets lapped up like spoon fulls of sugar.

[Asgard]

So is the darker crotch part of the costume or is that just like a stunt thing?

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Speculation is that it's actually to draw attention away from the crotch, and will look a lot less unnatural after colour correction... but again, that's speculation.

[LegendaryCaleb]

its meant to hide the bulge...it prolly wont look black on screen

[rowleyslims]

i think they actually put the black spot on his crotch to give fanboys something to keep bringing up... :doh:

I guess Arad worms his way into both the usual and the new crap.

[zanos]

Speculation is that it's actually to draw attention away from the crotch, and will look a lot less unnatural after colour correction... but again, that's speculation.

Wouldn't it make more sense to assume it's there to draw more attention to his crotch? Why do think he has silver shoes? Same reason probably. It's not like Raimi's Spider-man suit needed a black crotch. As a matter of fact I've never seen a black crotch on any superhero costume.

[Ajendo]

All this talk about black crotches; is there some sort of subconscious inferiroity complex coming to light here?

You purposely want this suit to be perverted! :doh: You're so god damn annoying!

The Raimi suit lessened the crotch with CGI, this movie is using a black crotch to HELP hide it. They will still use something in post but they wont need to go as far as Raimi did.

So please, stop posting these dumbass posts.

[Troy_Parker]

Did the Raimi suit really lessen the crotch with CGI? O_o

[Majik1387]

Yes, as did Superman Returns and the Fantastic Four movies on Iaon Gruffud and Chris Evans.

[craigdbfan]

Isn't it sort of weird how studios feel that "crotches" will somehow disturb audiences.

There's always a subtle disgust towards male genitalia but when it comes to cleavage or camel toe I'm sure they'll say "Keep that in, we wants the money!".

Just a funny thought. Never realized how crotches made people/studios that uncomfortable.

Talk about hive mind insecurity.

[Ajendo]

Female parts are a proven commodity.

[steintym]

This is one of the weirdest debates I've ever read.

Honestly, I had never heard that other actors had their crotches CGI'd out before. Never knew the crotches were such an issue.

[Spider-Fan83]

to a degree, yes....

but, even cleavage an especially camel toe's need to be closely monitored, to not cross certain lines, to keep thing appropriate, or meet rating restrictions

[steintym]

I'd hate to be the guy that didn't need the CGI procedure in post-production.

"I suppose you'll just CGI this out in post?"

"Nah ... You're good."

If we are to assume that's even remotely true, then why wouldn't Webb want to employ the same techniques? Is he using silver shoes to help detract from Spider-man's big feet? LMAO.

Here's my theory:
As many people know, when shooting a film in 3d, brightness helps the 3d to stand out more. And note that Raimis Spiderman movies weren't shot in 3d. So, my guess is that they made it dark so it wouldn't stick out that much, and in the post production they would make some color corrections.

[Darkness Falls]

i don't know how this discussion went from the suit to his webshooter but can we get back to the suit please lol :D

It must be a pain in the ass to do the CGI stuff with the guys crotch and the girls boobs. I wonder how many times one of the CGI guys called in his supervisor and asked "Alright, Too big or too small?"

Something about male gentilia that touches the wrong nerve. No wonder Watchmen underperformed. People couldn't get over Dr. Manhattans wang.

As for going back on topic, I hope we get a new shot of the costume. Hopefully a more dynamic one with an actual setting backdrop.

you might be on to something about the 3D issue... and now that you mention it, I am really glade, Watchmen, wasn't in 3D, for that very issue... it was bad enough in I-max....

Manhattan's wang had meaning behind it!! :cmad:

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yeah, but the mere fact that it was there was just disturbing, lol.

[Majik1387]

No it wasn't. For how many movies over time have been breast heavy, it was about time the male genitalia got some screentime. It was long overdue.:o

[craigdbfan]

It was long thats for sure. :p

[Darkness Falls]

dr manhattan was too proud to wear pants

I swear, I did not hear 1 person laugh in the theater when I saw the film, lol. Probably because it was a midnight showing, which usually means most people that have read the comics.

Same.

When I watched it two times more after that though everything went downhill.

My last of the three viewings I did people were making idiot comments. I had to scream "STFU" loudly.

They didn't say anything else throughout the thing. They were younger but still for that fact they proved the MPAA right. They weren't ready for a movie with blue penis in free air.

[Majik1387]

The don't go to a movie in 3D where it's been confirmed before release the penis would be in. :huh:

That's like I'd be skeeved out that Spidey is shooting his web fluid at me in this upcoming reboot.

Imagine that, actually don't. lol

I don't think a "nice poster" is possible with such a dreadful costume.

Maybe a "reasonably, or moderatly acceptable poster" would be a better phrasing for the best result imaginable, given the present circumstances.

[Majik1387]

Are you just here to troll on the costume?

[Darkness Falls]

after looking at the suit for the 64616164646641th time
i'm alright with the changes, the only thing that really sticks out is the fingers, but i'm sure there's some explanation for that

bring on T.A.S.M :D

[steintym]

Unfortunately, I think the fingers are change for change's sake. Those gloves are my biggest complaint about the new suit. Hopefully, once we see some official live footage they won't matter.

[Alchemyst]

The gloves don't bother me at all. I wasn't pissed that Wolverine didn't have the little metal things on his gloves where his claws came out :oldrazz:

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Am I the only one that not only doesn't mind the blue and red gloves, but actually likes them? I mean, I'm a huge Spidey fanboy, and if we could have gotten a 100% comic-accurate suit I'd be giddy, but I like the design they went with, and the gloves suit it nicely.

[socool]

The only thing I don't like is the silver soles. They're just stupid. I've grown to ignore them but they don't make sense.

[JackIvyGB]

I absolutely adore the new suit. The only things that I'm a little nit-picky over in my mind are so miniscule that I'm sure when Spidey is flying through the air, throwing punches, I'm sure it'll be the last thing on my mind.

Honestly, the gloves are my favorite change to the suit.

[Ultimate Doom]

The only thing I don't like is the silver soles. They're just stupid. I've grown to ignore them but they don't make sense.

Why does everyone hate the silver bottoms of the shoes? It probably makes running a lot easier- it's more practical. It's like running down the street with socks. Besides, if it was any other color, it would probably have looked ridiculous.

[Ultra Ham]

It could have been red.
It should have.

[Troy_Parker]

I wish people would stop talking about the silver things on the shoes like they're there to help him run faster or something. They're not on the soles of his shoe or anything, if you looked at the set pictures properly you'd know that. They're only on the sides(and heel) of his shoe.

[Troy_Parker]

Yes, the size of that^ was necessary.

No, not at all. I hate continually bringing up Raimi's costume out of not wanting to seem like a broken record, but look at his. There are no silver "reinforcements" like you're suggesting, and the guys in that suit ran fine. Besides, there is a sole to the boot, which would make running "easier". The silver is nothing more than a poor design choice.

It could have been red.
It should have.

It shouldn't be there at all, really.

[R-Taco]

I know I'm late to the party, but I finally saw the new costume for the first time.

It...could be better. I'm not sure why they decided to change the pattern, especially in such arbitrary ways. The colors don't need to be so dark, and the silver soles look silly because it makes him look like he's wearing tennis shoes over the outfit.

I'm sad that they went with the concave eye designs again. Those were the only things that bugged me about the previous movie costumes. I want big ol' round eyes. :csad:

[Darkness Falls]

interested to see what the eventual toy will look like,
it may be the first movie line where the actual outfit looks like one of those crazy variant ones :oldrazz:

still like the design though :word:
i agree with taco.... needs more bug eyes :D

They're obviously there to help him run quicker. Silver moves faster than other other colours.

[craigdbfan]

[Deathlok]

I think that the costume was designed by committee and one member went (perhaps after a herbal cigarette) "Hey dude, he ought to be wearing silver slip-ons over his boots, coz, like, that would be really freaking cool man....!"
Everyone else is so stoked by this out of the box thinking that they immediately vote in favour.....

That's what I think anyway.... ;)

Actually I might just buy the 3D blu ray of this when it comes out, just for the behind the scenes stuff where I get to hear an official explanation for this redesign travesty of a costume.

[craigaat]

Can't believe people complain about the silver on the boots when Raimi's costume was covered in silver.

[CaptainAwesome]

Can't believe people complain about the silver on the boots when Raimi's costume was covered in silver.

But doesn't everyone hate Raimi's costume now? Because it looked to "good", but they hate this one because it's not Raimi's costume and it looks too cheap but everyone was crying because Spider-Man's costume should look like a hobo made it or something? It's hard keeping up with the whims of the internet...

[Vid Electricz]

Talk about being literal!

There's a big difference between altering a classic element of the costume (in this case, the webs) for emphasis and a more cinematic look and completely adding new (and pointless) design elements.

I remember Spidey having webs on his costume, I don't remember Spidey having gym shoes on his costume.

That's why fanboys aren't at the helm of any multi-million dollar superhero franchises. They have no idea what they want.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. Their ideas kill films.

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, two opinions to never be trusted when making a superhero film... The fans, or the studios......or Michael Bay.... THREE opinions never to be trusted.......or anyone involved with X-Men Origins Wolverine..... okay, so that's FOUR opinions never to be trusted.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Can't believe people complain about the silver on the boots when Raimi's costume was covered in silver. I may really like the new suit (not as much as Raimi's, but it really is cool, IMO), but i'll be honest, this post of your is so idiotic that I really don't know what to say. It proves that you're just biased.

[Deathlok]

Just to balance my previous post on this...

The things I do like about the costume are;
1) Going back to mechanical web shooters (could be an interesting story point here and there)
2) No plastic mask under the main mask, so we should know when spidey is talking now!

But if this is the main costume and I don't see why it won't be, I still dislike the choices made with the gloves, "go faster" stripes on the legs ,silver stuff on the boots and lack of the belt to break up the blue of the costume. Something is needed in the middle, just the same as Superman so that the blue does not overpower.

[zanos]

A Spider-man costume without silver shoes is no Spider-man at all. That's all I gots to say on the subject.

[craigdbfan]

Exactly.

He knows not of what he speaks of.

The OG Spider-Man has been proven to work fine on the screen. Proof being the Raimi costume which for all intents in purposes was perfect.

I have also warmed up to the new costume but to say that calling out those Nike SpiderForces out for what they are is ridiculous on his part.

The Ditko design works perfectly fine. This is the same thing going on in the Superman costume design thread where people keep saying it doesn't work but so far the best interpretation we've gotten was from Reeve's back in the late 70's. So obviously the design works it just needs new materials and thankfully Snyder loves being faithful its sort of his trademark by now and partly being a reason why WB picked him. As for Raimi with Spider-Man Sony got incredibly lucky that Raimi was a true fan of Spider-Man and his love of Peter Parker and the rest of the mythos that is Spider-Man he was able to deliver one of the most well adapted SH movies of our time.

Any Spider-Man fan is within their right to be upset about those shoes and even the new costume. Its warranted.

I myself like how most of the new reboot is shaping up story wise so far and what they're going for and the villain. The movie itself in the end is the most important aspect of all so I can easily disregard a costume that I find somewhat negligent and redundant of the Ditko design which has been proven to work.

[Chiroptera]

nevermind.

I agree, the other design is ugly. But for the life of me, I don't understand why we can't see Spider-man from that Amazing Fantasy #15 piece by Ross. It looks like a nerdy kid from Queens made it, and that's all it needs to be.

a bit behind, just read the quote about the suit looking completely different in 3d
can someone please explain what they mean, i have no clue ?

[Spider-Who?]

Mostly the colors. They are saturated more than they would normally, to compensate for the effects filming in 3d has on color. In other words the two official pictures are the colors that we'll see in the movie.

I saw this a while ago on the props and replica forum. Interesting they decided to use actual track shoes... So now we know they're Asics and not "Spidey Nikes". Very interesting. I guess they really want to emphasize Spidey's "athleticism" this time around.

If they deserve any recognition, I do applaud the movie's use of being practical; it's raw, it's real, and it's something that takes alot of effort. And in the end, I think it just looks better. So I'll give them that. :word:

[Doctor Who]

And another thing; at this point, I do like how the suit looks so far. You know, I'm not crazy about the shoes, but I like how real it is; I enjoy the they're giving him webshooters that I'm very sure they'll show Peter developing in the film, I like the fabric they're using that's pretty relative to the shoes and the design, and just the small things I've been noticing with it: like the webbing getting smeared after getting into a fight.

I feel like they're going to show you the construction of the suit, which they never really did in the Raimi series. I mean, sure, they showed him drawing the suit, but be being sort of the realistic one, how did he get the money and skills to make an elaborate and complex costume? I know Spiderman and I know Peter Parker, and as perfect as that costume was, he could NEVER develop a costume that great; it's just fact, imo.

But to sum up, I like the suit; it's not exactly how I pictured it, but when I see this in a trailer and in action, I think it's going to look and work great. :word:

It is kinda weird though, right? I mean, how could he possibly wear his costume under his street clothes? There's no way those things would fit inside his street shoes. Right? Right? What, does he just wear them like normal shoes and hope no one asks about the web pattern on them? Does he have to keep the shoes separately in his backpack? These are really important questions that NEED to be answered.

[craigdbfan]

Because they are trying to make the costume "realistic". Peter Parker doesn't want to hurt his little feet. Oh wait its ****ing Spider-Man the superhuman who could withstand a standing fall as if it were nothing.

How ****ing ridiculous. I'm sorry this kind of ticked me off in the wrong way.

Just really hate the idea behind it more than the look after finding out quite honestly.

Just really hate the idea behind it more than the look after finding out quite honestly. Yeah, I completely agree. Though, I'm not going to judge the film based on that. The rest of the suit looks pretty damn good, so I'll just have to ignore the shoes. The track shoes, lol.

[craigdbfan]

Yeah the movie will be good hopefully (the cast and story seem to imply this) but I hope these "realistic" approach doesn't completely impede the movie. Still excited but I just really hate the entire idea behind his footwear. Its just pointless. Who the **** even would think as that even being a viable option for a dang superhuman especially one of Peter Parkers caliber.

I'm really fearing we might end up reading this news excerpt: "The costume especially the footwear and gloves use a special device he made to climb walls it makes much better sense than the genetically altered spider giving him that ability to climb walls and such. See thats realistic and more gritty our new approach that is." - Avi Arad.

[Oscorp]

It looks like he's just taken the "bottom" part of those shoes and put it directly connected to the rest of his suit. Meaning he won't have the whole shoes, just parts of them. I don't see what's wrong with that. It would definitely help him considering how much he actually jumps around, runs etc.

[Spider-ManHero12]

If that does happen, craidbfan, I'll be so pissed.

[craigdbfan]

As would I but god bless their souls if they did. They are going to have the steepest climb to even be considered good. It'll be rejected even by general audiences I dare say before and after.

Hope thats not the case and they kept those abilities intact. They have better for their sake. :hehe:

I'm really fearing we might end up reading this news excerpt: "The costume especially the footwear and gloves use a special device he made to climb walls it makes much better sense than the genetically altered spider giving him that ability to climb walls and such. See thats realistic and more gritty our new approach that is." - Avi Arad.



I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've got a good feeling that if they take the wrestling/tv performer route, Spidey's agent or whoever is going to provide him with the costume with these items in place (the silver shoes) is to validate to the audience (in the movie) how a man is performing these feats (sticking to walls, etc...) Just an idea...I mean it's make a lot more sense than just putting them on the costume to help him "run faster and jump higher". lol.

Guys...they really are using shoes! Asic shoes. RUNNING shoes

I think that's a really cool idea.

maybe its a product placement thing


It'd be kind of tough to place a product when there's no name or brand visible on said product. Not to mention the fact that it took a bunch of replica enthusiasts effort to research and find such an obscure thing.

im just trying to figure it out..instead of laughing my butt off

I actually like the suit for the most part, but I do find it odd that they would use the exact same design of those shoes. If they kept it all red, it wouldn't be so obvious, but the reasoning around keeping the sliver swooshes is a bit strange and funny. :hehe:

Still like the suit, though.:cwink:

I don't mind the shoes, I'm more of a Chuck Taylor guy :awesome:

They had BETTER NOT give him Reeboks in the sequel :argh:

They had BETTER NOT give him Reeboks in the sequel :argh:What are you talking about? They had BETTER give him Reeboks in the sequel. Spidey needs to pump!

He's not wearing those shoes. Ffs, some fan boys. -.- ...All Asics shoes have that type of design: http://www.runningshoesguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/asics-gel-kayano-15.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3176/2971705708_24e2c018a7_o.jpg ...the picture posted by socool is an edited picture of these shoes, I think I saw it in the 'make a spider-man suit' thread too.

I think they looked at that shoe as inspiration in terms of design to imply that it good for running and stability, but I hope to God, they're not actually using the shoe itself for Peter to dress it up as part of the costume. I doubt that, but it's a horrible idea.

[Scarlettess]

I don't really mind the shoes. I mean he's gotta protect his feet someway right? but it boggles me, if he has shoes how's he meant to wall-crawl? unless they have like holes in the toes like he does on his finger tips...but i don't see that.

[Hurm...]

If they are going for a more realistic Spider-Man, this is obviously the next step for him in the film...

Obviously, Spidey's not wearing actual track shoes. The silver part on the costume IS taken directly from a pair of Asic track shoes. The rest of the shoe in the manip was colored red to demonstrate which part exactly was used.

Yup, but the things people were posting after that image was posted made it seem like they thought the costume actually track shoes. lol.
