I only wish it would look more the classic suit, as in not having lines on the legs, but instead around the waist. And no blue gloves. I do love the comic design, I really do. But I have to admit that it didn't make sense that the Spider on the back didn't look like an actual Spider.

I love the design of the gloves so much.

No. If you find a pimp, beat the living **** out of him, and leave him in front of police headquarters, he'll go free, and the police will go after you.

Spider-Man is a vigilante, violating criminal's civil rights. There would be repercussions.

But if someone is being mugged in an alley and Spidey stops the mugging, end of story. If he keeps that Pimp from beating a girl or knifing a john, success. He's not doing the same job a cop does. He's not enforcing laws or making arrests, he's stopping people from being hurt or hurting others. Then add to that the whole thing with supervillains, people who the police have no hope of stopping. And this is all moot since in the end, Spider-Man is a very specific idea and if they wanted to make a movie about a super powered cop they should just do that and leave him out of it.

Really like this suit. Also, that pose is signature Spidey!!

It is signature Spidey, apart from the right arm pose, which to me looks kinda out of place and overdone.

There's set pics of the car theif/supposedly Ben's killer hanging from a web with a super-mega-wedgie in front of the police station and Stacy and some cops walking up to him.

We have not see the film yet so we don't know how that plays out. It seems more than likely to me that the police would already have been after the guy.

I'd be surprised if that isn't the case.

I have to say the suit looks absolutely glorious in 3D. The swinging seems much faster, which is why I think they designed the suit that way, the leg stripes aren't just for an alternate design, but also as a visual point to keep up with Spidey, plus the stripes make his swinging look very streamlined. I love it.

The suit looks even worst now that i've seen the trailer. The movie looks like it might actaully be good, but i can't help feeling how great it would have been if they actually made a suit more like the Kirby design, i.e fat spider on back, and arm pit webbing....

so your complains about the new costume are that the spider in the back is thinner and that he doesn't have armpit webbing? most people complain about the leg stripes, the boots or the gloves, but you complain about not having armpit webbing? cool

Pfeiffer-Pfan · Feb 10, 2012

I will never get the desire for arm-pit webbing...

Whiskey Tango · Feb 10, 2012

There's nothing to get. Some peeps think it looks cool and adds to the design. And I am one of them. Not gonna raise hell because it's not in the movie tho.

I always thought it was lame.

UltimateWebhead · Feb 10, 2012

I always thought the arm pit webbing looked cool and actually may have had some functionality to them. It helps him glide thru the air like those squirrel suits.

Scarlettess · Feb 10, 2012

yeah, but if he wears his costume under his clothes, how in the hell will arm-pit webbing work?

He webs himself (like putting on deoderant) after taking off his street clothes :oldrazz:

Where does Superman stuff his cape when he's wearing a suit over it? It's comics.

See, but I always assumed they added the leg stripes for some kind of continuity since the arms have stripes as well. But to have some kind of pattern on the boots, but just plain red for the stripes and belt, it seems odd. I still love the suit and how it looks on screen such as the trailer, but having some red with no such pattern is a little disappointing to me.

This is one of my biggest problems with the new suit. One of the coolest aspects of the classic Spider-Man design is there's a very clear logic to it. The red areas have web patterns, the blue/black areas do not. Why did they have to **** with that for the reboot?

He is doing the very same thing as police officers are paid to. Who (or what) gives Spider-Man the authority to apprehend criminals?

Neither will I.

The armpit webbing is harder to believe, because Superman could just remove his cape, but the armpit webbing would probably show up under t-shirts and the like.

Arm pit webbing is silly, imo.

Sure, they could making his airtime last longer... but wouldn't they also make it harder to swing if air's getting caught in them?

Or what if they got caught on something?

Guy can stick to walls, bench 10 tons, has functional ESP, fights dudes ranging from crazy scientists in goblin outfits to alien symbiotes and everything in between, and yet when it comes to a small piece of stretchy cosmetic webbing under his armpits suddenly everybody throws up their arms in disbelief and the realism debates begin. "What if they got caught on something?" indeed. :doh:

I'll just say if it's good enough for Ditko and Romita Jr. it's good enough for me and leave it at that.

You gotta draw a line somewhere.

They did. A bunch of 'em. In the shape of a web. And then stuck it in his armpits. :cwink:

The difference is that the armpit webbing is pointless and looks like underarm cobwebs.

I always loved the back emblem because it didn't look like an actual spider. It has an old-school charm to it. I would have loved to see it.

Personally, when I think "Spider-Man" I don't think "old-school".

I'll stick with the judgement of the co-creator and what I think looks cool over J. Random Internet, thanks.
