Whose costume is better?

[Spider-ManHero12]

Nicolas Hammond was the enjoyable part and other than that, not much else at all.

Not unless that is an actual power that Spider-Man has. I'll make the miracle exemption for Spider-Man's spider-powers, but those don't cover webshooters disappearing when the costume is put on. Suspension of disbelief, in my opinion, does cover some things, but it shouldn't be a catch-all for any stupid ******** you didn't care to think about harder. Human with spider-powers? Covered. Said human's wrists and webshooters being thicker than his wrists, webshooters, and costume? Not covered.

[Spider-ManHero12]

But the show REALLY was not that good, besides Hammond.

Remember, to each their own.

As a Spider-Man costume, it was. I think they could have done the classic costume without it looking just like the Acheson design. For example, I would be fine with removing the thick silver embossed webbing, not because it was bad, but because it was Acheson's own idea that was a change from the original design, and sort of a unique trademark to that design. Change the size and shape of the eyes, use different reds and blues or even black in lieu of blue, and you could have a significantly different look right there.

This looks more believable.

This looks better.

Not exactly a fair comparison, since those are very different costumes. Ben's costume is just as good in its context. The Ben Reilly outfit looks like another person's design for a Spider-Man costume, which it is.
I still think that the organic webshooters in the film worked better because of that. Believable without compromising the look.

That's simple. Drugs.

Make the boots and glove (just to the wrist) all red and you'd get a great suit

First of all, when I said yellow and blue I meant Wolverine's yellow and blue duds, that's why I mentioned it with brown and yellow. Hugh Jackman in First Class suit...picture that. First Class, in terms of lighting was a lighter film than Singer's movies. I can't imagine them walking around in the Statue of Liberty wearing the yellow suits from First Class. I just can't. It seems a bit hokey.
And how do you change from Batman Forever to B&R? Nice try backing out of that, but your argument is still silly.
Even Clooney's suit isn't as stupid or goofy looking as the ASM suit. None of the Batcostumes are unless you pull in Adam West's
You and other fans, I think, just say things like that because you get blinded by George Clooney's goofy face/silly Batbutt shots, neon colored sets, Mr. Freeze, and all the other hootenanny Joel had going on. If you just take the goofballs out of the suits they are awesome (aside, again, from the nipnips).





Don't you dare tell me that's not at the very least passable looking as a Batsuit. Just no nipples. There's hardly a thing wrong with it.

That's like judging a costume based on the actor's underwear.) I said this in another thread, by that reasoning, this should be perfect.

The costume looks silly but it's still better than the reboot's.

I had many issues with the Raimi trilogy, but the suit was not one of them. It was fine.

It still would suck. I'll take body armor over a fake muscle suit any day.

Choosing between those two is like choosing between blowing your own brains or a cyanide capsule to kill yourself with.

Agreed.

What do you mean? You could see the wires.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed. The show was corny as hell.

[Spider-Aziz]

I enjoyed it for being Spider-Man

If I'm, understanding well, I'd say the same for Nolan's suits.

[Chris Wallace]

Nolan's first suit HAD a wraparound cape.

But it got tossed in the redesign, presumably so we could see the new suit in all its-ahem-glory.

[Spider-Aziz]

It is a glorious suit

Bad costume, (once they added the bulky belt that served no purpose, shiny vinyl boots and standalone gloves) cheesy fx, (even by 70's standards-what the hell was up with that cotton webbing? It couldn't hold my daughter! And it took him, what, 3 hours to get up a building?) lame villains, no Uncle Ben, poorly staged fights, nothing that I loved about the Spider-Man comics was present here. Ugh.

[The Caped Knight]

There's no contest Raimi's costume is iconic and the best.

Beautifully put. Not that the pose you selected hurts anything.
