Costume question

[Chris Wallace]

Ok-here's One; Future Characters Whose Look Should Be Tampered With To A Minimum. (Did That Make Sense?)

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

Hmm...Captain America?
I don't know...none come to mind, all the popular ones have been already made. If you could give me a name...?
Oh, and Iron Man's in my opinion would still be faithful no matter what.
Techno costumes are easy for Holywood, no?

 

[Chris Wallace]

Tell That To The Guys Who Dressed Shaq.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

Well, I don't know.
There's nothing really to change in Iron Man's costume besides making it look good.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I Wouldn't Agree There; That Suit's Not Very Movement-friendly; It's Bulky, I'd Imagine It's Heavy, There's No Elbow Joints. Plus, How's He Gonna Breathe, See, Or Hear?

 

[Obi-Ron]

Spider-Man definitely should have been in the standard bright red and blue bodystocking he's been portrayed as wearing since the 60's. I hate the fancy-shmancy movie suit.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Why?

 

[Obi-Ron]

It's too high-tech looking, IMO. But I guess it's better than his current comic duds...

 

[Chris Wallace]

To Each His Own.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'd Rather Not Look At A Costume That Looks Like A Fanboy Made It For The Convention; Not In A Big-budget Movie, Anyways.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

I second that opinion.
Oh, and about Iron Man’s costume:
Well, looking at Spidey’s mask, breathing, sight and hearing shouldn’t be a problem.
And, as long as it looks metallic, they could make the suit out of light plastic stuff.
Other than that, of course joints should be made but I wouldn’t consider it an extreme change just yet.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I second that opinion.

Which so far, hasn't been done. Spidey's mask is cloth, Iron Man's would be a rigid, metallic-looking susbstance. So far I've never seen such a mask worn practically. If you know of an example, let me know.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I also dislike the black-rubber fetish suit Batman has had in every movie since 89.

My favorite Batsuit remains the one in Dead End.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Sounds To Me Like You're A Traditionalist; Nothing Wrong With That, But I Think Sometimes A Little Change Isn't A Bad Thing.

Funny you should ask that actually.
*coughdarth* *coughvader*

 

[Chris Wallace]

I knew you were going to use that. Vader has a grille, which is part of the mask's primary function. He not only can breathe through it, but CAN'T breathe without it. Iron Man has no such opening in his faceplate.
Now Boba Fett might be a better example, come to think of it.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

See, and anyways, Ironman does have a small slot for a mouth.
They could make it just like they made V's and Goblin's masks.
Spidey’s was cloth, yes, but underneath they put a plastic mask.
Looking back on all those, I just don’t think that would be really such an issue.
Now the costume could be changed for the sake of better movement, yes.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

I would like the costumes to be a direct translation. Modifications can be made and camera techniques employed to help the costume appear better. I'd love to see a more faithful Batman costume.

 

[Chris Wallace]

The Problem There Is, Batman's Grey Tights & Black Trunks Are Not Conducive To The Image He's Supposed To Be Trying To Project.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

Why costumes were in fact so colourful in the 60s, including Batman’s - colourful pictures just like colourful TV was big news those days, so they just used it because they could.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'm Well Aware Of That; This Is Why Batman's Look Is Just Superman's W/a Different Color Scheme. But He Should Never Have Looked Like That.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

Not in our age, no.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Perhaps If They Ditched The Trunks & Went With Black Tights-AGAIN.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

The Problem There Is, Batman's Grey Tights & Black Trunks Are Not Conducive To The Image He's Supposed To Be Trying To Project.

I disagree.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I Know Your Traditionalist Position & I Sympathize, But Batman's Comic Book Duds Never Worked For Me. The Best Artists On The Books Are Those Who Manipulate Shadows & Positioning So That You Forget He's Wearing A Modified Superman Costume. Again, All Black Just Makes More Sense.
