The Amazing Spider-Man New costume?

[Hectorminator]

they actually had a original black costume made....theres a picture (i dont have it anymore)
it was too shiny and slick for the camera

Nevermind, I found it.

Tobey really let himself go for Spider-Man 3...

 

[Immortalfire]

Holy crap

 

[Nathan]

not really, the eyes were actaully silver(ish) and the black made the webbing design stand out more...I don't remember where I i remember hearing about how they actually tried to use the original comic book version and it just didn't look right on camera

I saw that and it looked like they didn't even try much. It was too shiney? Then how about not using a material that looks like wet latex? And they could have given it the same texture detail the original suit had, simply without the webbing.

The black suit they used wasn't too shiney for the camera, so what was the problem in making a suit without the webbing and a bigger spider?

I would love a take on the TSSM costume. I was always a fan of the webbing under the arms.

Is that a man or a woman? t:

Does it matter?

Out of all the superhero outfits I always thought Spider-Man's was the most impressively done, with Iron Man a very close second. Just keep doing whatever doing, subtle changes each time out.

spider-man and ironman's costumes are equally impressive imo.

LMAO! I guess not.

I myself think the current suit is pretty darn perfect. But, if they do go with an entirely different suit, I wouldn't mind seeing the old Alex Ross costume resurrected.

Looks pretty nifty, I always did like that costume.

And here's the manip I found again from a while ago. If they thought the suit looked too shiney, they could've done this.

Wow. Epic fail, Raimi. That suit would have been perfect.

Anyway, my stance on Spider-Man's costume remains the same as it was a year ago when this subject came up.

-Rounder, bigger eyes. There was concept art of Spidey scaling a building from the Spider-Man 1 DVD that had the perfect eyes.
-A richer blue color for the suit. I hate the sickly gray-blue they've gone with every movie.
-Thinner, BLACK webbing on the suit.

Do that, and the suit's perfect in my book.

look how dark these webs are compared to

I think it has more to do with how the webs are catching the light and them actually using lighter webs

That looks nice! I wish the black suit was like this in SM3.

ok, i loved SM3, the costume was cool..but i agree..

 

[spider-neil]

I don't get their logic for dropping that costume, 'I didn't show up against dark backgrounds'.
for me that is the best thing ABOUT the costume, i.e. when he is in the shadows all you can sider is the white spider and eyes, how scary is that?

Because you want to see what he is actually doing, crawling, fighting etc.
The suit looks good there against a white background, but I can see why they didn't go with it for practical purposes.

I beg to differ.

I wish spider-man 3 didn't turn out to be, well, spider-man 3.

Well, if they said it didn't show up against dark backgrounds, that would be the reason, you wouldn't be able to see what he was doing.
I trust the reasoning of the actual filmakers who actually tested the suit on film over a guy on the net who doesn't explain his reasoning as to why he thinks it would show up well on camera in dark scenes. I mean, the only real action scene we get with the black costume is in the dark of a subway.

The raised webbing on the black outfit make it easier to see. If it had been all black it would have been difficult to see, and ultimately boring to look at. Just black and a white spider. The webbing gives it texture and weight, especially when a lot of the costume we would be getting would be the CG version.

The Chronicles explained why they didn't use the classic design. People who complain about this haven't thought it through, and really need to accept it was changed for the better. What works in the comics doesn't work on the movies, so fans should learn that there are people doing this as their job and have tons more experience and schooling than you, and chose what they felt worked best. If you're going to disagree, give good reasons why but also think about what they thought about.

While at first, it may look like his red and blues only colored black, there are more changes.
1. It's made of a more rubbery, silky material to give it that shiny effect. The pattern on the suit reflects in more of a white lit way, rather than the way it was on the original suit. The suit looks more organic rather than like cloth.
2. The eyes were tilted slightly and given a bit of a dark texture inside them.
3. Front and back spiders are changed and now more white.

The raised webbing helped capture the suit in motion at night, made it more three dimensional, helping it pop out alot more.

^^ Exactly. Same goes for The Green Goblin's costume. I mean, honestly, do you actually think the original comic book Green Goblin costume would work on film?

If done right (not that I have a problem with the SM1 Goblin suit). But the offical behind the scenes book had a lot of production art, and concept work.

Alot of the original designs for the GG suit retained the comic look, but with a heavy feel of tech. Some of them looked pretty damn good.

There a difference between bringing a goofy looking character to the screen (Green Goblin) and a simple design like the the black suit. If they would've done it similar to the manip, I don't see how that would've looked horrible on screen.
