The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume Part 4 - "What's that in his eye??" - Part 5

Luckily, in the grand scheme of things, the suit matters little.

Only to us fanboyish geeks, so yeah, you're right, it matters little!

 

[Scarlet Spider]

That along with the omission of the belt which separated everything nicely is one of the more head scratching design choices for the new suit.

This costume will always feel like those alternate suits he wears for 10 issues or so and then dumps them out for his original Ditko one.

That's not necessarily a bad thing as I like a bunch of Spider-Man alternate costumes but my love for the original design will always trump those any day of the week.

It's the same thing with Superman reboot. The new suit looks cool but Shuster's design will always be the iconic look everyone associates with the character and his history.

It's just a necessary evil of rebooting an already established brand and starting over.

The funny thing about the lack of belt argument, is almost identical to the lack of trunk arguments, in the Superman forums.

The most important thing to me is that both are instantly recognisable when looked upon and both suits accomplish that.

Yeah, tomorrow Batman could be pink, Superman capeless or Hulk could be red-skinned. People wouldn't matter.

 

[VenomSpawn]

I could definitely get behind a pink Batman.

...No pun intended.

 

[Spiderman6592]

I knew that would happen. TASM's suit is still a Spider-Man suit. It is red, blue and has webbing on it. It is not pink, or purple with 8 legs. Therefore, it matters little because he is still recognizable as Spider-Man.

And it's still a poor design. (In my opinion, of course.)

This is recognizable as Batman yet still horrible in every way. Just because something is recognizable doesn't make it "matter little". To the TAS costume credit it isn't anywhere near as bad as the B&R costume but the point stands.

Lol!

Agreed.

What the hell is going on with the gloves? Why the hell do the webs become random lines in some places?

Because they know that we're going to show up in theaters regardless of the changes, just like you did with all the changes in Raimi's films, and pretty much every other comic book film.

Pretty much. The general audience could care less and the fans that gripe about the suit are going to see the movie, regardless.

These suit arguments are just par for the course with these films. Whether it's Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, Avengers, X-Men, etc. They'll always be someone out there that's unhappy about something that was done or changed.

Changes, yes. Now some of them ahve been good, some of them terrible. And in the end it shows.

But seriously, I have the feeling this movie is going to be very very good regardless of the suit's ugliness. That will obviously help.

 

[Spiderman6592]

Isn't that what I said and proceeded to get crucified for?

No one here likes you.

In some ways you're right. Yet, the suit comes a hell of lot closer than The Dark Knight's suit, talk about ugly suit, and it's now the comic book movie to beat for the masses. We'll see how this Spider-Man film holds up in the end, I like most of what I'm seeing/hearing.

Personally, I like the The Dark Knight Batsuit. I think it works for Batman rather well. Could it be closer to the comic book costume? You bet your candied ass. Is it perfect? Hell no. But I do like it.

 

[Spiderman6592]

Yet you think the TASM suit is too far from the comics because of "unnecessary changes". LOL The Nolan suit is the definition of unnecessary changes.

 

[VenomSpawn]

I like the Batman Begins costume better. It actually looked like a Batman costume.

 

[VenomSpawn]

Agreed.

 

[Oscorp]

I agree! The TDK costume is pretty bad IMO

 

[Spiderman6592]

I don't even mind it that much because it's an acceptable adaption to the real world. But to be up in arms about the changes made to Spidey's costume and then to turn around and say, "Oh yeah but I like The Dark Knight Batsuit." is blind ignorance and hypocrisy.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I love the BB suit.

Agreed completely.
