The Amazing Spider-Man New costume?

[david icke]

Glad we didn't get this (although the black lenses WERE used for a while, i.e. filming for the armoured car scene)

The lenses are about the only thing i like about the deviations in this illustration.

The spider-logo look ridiculous that size. It looks more like the wee guy on the door of a gent's toilet.

And there is absolutely nothing going on trouser or boot wise. Outfit is only half there as an outfit, not too interesting to look at from the bellybutton down.

The rest of the changes are minor, and just go to show how well the original works by comparison.

Seriously, what is the deal with everyone wanting to change costumes? If you hate on the costume so much, read another comic or see another movie...I want to see Spider-man, Superman, Batman, Iron Man, and all of those guys the way they are drawn...if you change it, they arent the characters I love anymore!

Sometimes what works as a drawing does not translate to the screen without looking ridiculous though.
You do the Batman outfit the way it's drawn and you get the old 60s Adam West outfit.
Wolverine would probably not look so dangerous in the movies dressed in bright yellow either.
And if you can't believe that the Batman from the Nolan movies is your cherished character brought to life because they adapted his outfit, you'll probably never be satisfied with a Batman movie.

The point about keeping the Spidey outfit the way it is, is that it's one of the times they actually managed to get the one from the printed page adapted to real life extremely well. That, and the original design is one of the all time classics.

And Silver Knight, you were saying that they will change the outfit for the movies to sell toys.
Hey, for something like Batman and Robin, it does look like they added a change of outfit at the end of the film for that reason.
But, they won't be doing that here. They already have umpteen types of Spider-man figures out there, they don't have to screw around with the perfect design they spent ages on getting just right.

I agree...Spider-man's outfit is iconic and timeless...LEAVE BRITN...I mean SPIDEY ALONE!!!

I think this is a misconception. I think many costumes can work in a live action movie but the trick is to make sure it doesn't look like a Halloween outfit. Case in point is spiderman himself. The 70's costume was pretty bad but retained the same design as the comic. The 00's is awesome and retains the same design as the comic. The difference was attention to detail(raised webbing, scale like pattern the suit, material,body suit underneath, choice of colors) and not making a simple translation.

Yeah I agree wolverine would look too threatening in bright yellow spandex. But that doesn't mean the suit design and a darker yellow wouldn't work. If wolverine can look badass in his current yellow suit, I think they can make a movie version that would work.

Heck even the comics have adjusted to this by drawing textured costumes.

Now Batman I think is in the same boat. A straight translation isn't going to work. But a careful adaptation can. Heck the Dark Knight suit has been the first step in moving away from a total thick one piece suit. Stick some gray on it and you got your costume.


To me to real issue has always been that one color spandex on the body sucks.

I agreed with you all the way until your last point...that batman suit was a wreck...they sacrificed alot of quality and the essense of the character being "spooky" just so he could move his neck...whoopie...

Spidey on the other hand, is perfect, and he gets more and more perfect with each and every little tweek...the only thing I really would change though are the eyes...I would love for them to be white...the closest they've come to being the way I like is when he is swinging through the city in SM2 right before he loses his powers and falls into the alleyway. t:

It's been funny to me...and I've been watching the progression from the very beginning (from the early days of this site). But every little 'tweek' they do each movie makes me laugh (and the exhaustive thought and behind the scene, DVD extras, discussion). Because what they're really doing is getting closer to the original costume design. Which is what they should have done in the first place. Marvel arists put 'blacks' into the Spider-Man's costume to make more emphasis on the page. With digital technology today they could shade and fool the viewers eyes in the movie all the while using the original design. I always wonder if that's occured to anyone making these things.

Its good but we need a change. Its been the same since 01 when SM1 was being filmed. At least update it abit.

It changed in Spider-Man 2...

 

[DACrowe]

It's pretty perfect. We got a cool (and misused) black costume in the last movie. This isn't Batman who needs to tweak his costume to deal with new threats and increased mobility. This is Spidey. Stick with the classic.

 

[mre]

I think they should keep it the same. But if they change it, it will probably be the size of the eyes.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

what would you think of spidey using some of the gobin gear/tech, to upgrade his suit???

 

[Nathan]

What?

 

[Silver Knight]

what would you think of spidey using some of the gobin gear/tech, to upgrade his suit???

No.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

never mid
was going for a funny idea, half jokly, to see what poeple migth think of for it...

you know what, just never mind, the joke didn't quite land, didn't qute get what I going for there...

 

[mre]

No you are right, Power Ranger Spidey would be pretty funny. I'd love to see a manip of that!

 

[DACMAN]

No one draws him like Mark. The guy was born to draw Spidey. I'd love to see this on film, but then we'd probably need my reboot as well. I say keep him in high school for all 3 films.

Or maybe something like this...

 

[DACMAN]

He'll get minor tweaks like he always has, but he won't look much different from SM3. Personally, I would like if he'd look more menacing. I always liked how Dell'otto draws him.

That looks like the Web of Shadows Spidey. I love it!

I'd love to see them move towards that.

 

[mre]

I have always liked the look of the smaller eyes.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I wish they could find a way to make the eyes more expressive, like if they could, squint smaller, or get wider, to show more of his reacts

I think that the main different between the comic and cartoon version, and live action, you don't have much rang under a mask (which is probably why he's always losing it)

not really sure how they would go about doing that, though

 

[Nathan]

Which is easily fixed by being a little more expressive with the rest of the body.

What's that supposed to be? Another take on the Scarlet Spider costume?

HO...LY ****!

Say what you want about the suit design however there is no denying whomever put that together has got superb skills
