The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume

[Immortalfire]

They redesign Batman's suit for every film-- why would they not change the Spiderman costume when they want to distance their film from the original.

Maybe to echo that Batman's costume has changed numberous times in his long comic run. It'll be blue, black or gray, but his overall look of pointed ears/bat cape are the staples that everyone knows. A few outward alterations don't have that much effect in his case.

On the flip side, Spidey's costume has stayed virtually unchanged for 47 years. And everyone seems to be ok with it.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

So apparently they ARE going for a darker, grittier take..


Meaning it's BEYOND likely the suit WILL be changed. Sam's suit from the first three films is too colorful and lively for the new direction of the reboot.

They'll never keep the same costume, I can guarentee they wont.

I'd simply have it less expensive looking. Either get rid of the raised webbing or simply reduce the raised effect. Also, actually make the webbing black. And maybe they could add the classic Spider on his back. most importantly though, stick to the classic costume, no reinvention needed.

 

[Crook]

I gotta say...the red/black looks so much f'n cooler. Black was the original intended color, wasn't it?

 

[DorkyFresh]

i'd like to see something like this...

...except black and red instead of blue and red. i love how the eyes are done. i also wouldn't mind seeing Spidey with ninja-style feet.

yes it was. his first appearance had a red and black suit with blue highlights on the black sections. many people interpreted that meant the black parts were actually blue, but black often gives off blue highlights.

If there is one thing about the Raimi series that was absolutely incredible it was the design of Spidey's costume.

It's damn near perfect.

Nah, it sucked.

The raised webbing that often came out looking silver was YUCK, the triangle eyes I did not like and the painted on muscles just looked totally lame.

I'd like the webbing to stay black and not be raised but rather be part of the main costume. The eyes to be more round with thicker black outlines, and the spiders on front and back to be more classic in design.

 

[spider-neil]

there is no way they are going to keep the raimi costume, they will want to make a clear distinction between old and new. my bet is they make an EXACT copy of the spidey outfit. i.e. big curved round eyes, no raised webbing, big round red spider on the back and what would be awesome, web armpits.

I'd just like to know what the hell a darker, grittier Spiderman even means? That type of superhero film isn't going to work for everybody, and the sooner these studio execs figure that out, the better off we'll all be. Spiderman, Superman, these aren't dark characters in the least, trying to go in that direction goes against everything they stand for, period

 

[Nathan]

Some more. Dell'otto's drawings of Spidey are some of my favorites. I'd be totally excited if they managed to make the costume look like that.

 

[Golgo-13]

I for one don't want the raised webbing on the new costume.

And the one thing i hated about the previous movies costume, was the stylized 'slender red spider' on the back of Spidey's costume. I prefer the regular 'fat rounded' red spider on Spideys back from the comics and cartoons............

I also want 'arm pit webs'......

Nah, it didn't.

Spider-Man's costume in the Raimi movies was the first time that a comic book costume was transferred so well into the big screen.
Even right before that the X-men were changed to wearing black leather gear.
Everyone was so sure they were going to drastically change the costume. Even Alex Ross did designs that looked different. It seemed like no one thought of keeping it the same. Sure it looked too professional and not something a high school student made but it also looked closer to the comics than most (except Superman) comic movies in the past. Even Batman had a different costume.

So maybe its not the best, but it was the closest thing than anyone could have dreamed of back then. Now maybe it can be even closer and better (without looking cheap, spandexy, and uncool, like so many home made Spider-Man costumes look)

 

[itsleroy]

Raimi's Spider-Man design will always be my favorite. It's brilliant, it looks amazing. We shouldn't keep it, but in a perfect world we should.

 

[Agent 194]

I say do the traditional costume. After all that's what the Raimi movies were moving closer to with every alteration of the design in every movie. I'd like to see them pull it off sans raised webbing too.

[Hurm...]

I think they should keep the raised webbing, but instead of it having a metallic color, they should make it black. They could also make the eyes smaller or larger, whichever looks better (I think larger is more logical). Since they are going for a film with a darker tone, a dark blue that is closer to black would work better I think.

 

[Ultimate Doom]

Bring on the arm-pit webbing.

This would be a great suit hope they go with something like this.t:

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

Regardless of what the suit looks like, it should be plausible that a teenager from Queens could have made it.
