The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume

[bunk]

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

This is a good point. It is a movie, and I think we can all handle some movie magic. However, as long as they're rebooting, why not work this overlooked aspect into the story. If it's to look professionally made, let's see how that came about.

As far as the suit itself, I would only want to see minor changes. No raised webbing, and large eyes on the mask. The colors were fine with me.

 

[Captain Planet!]

No new costume will compare. 'Nuff said.

When I saw the costume for the first time in SM1 during the montage I was like, how in the **** did he piece that together?

 

[Golgo-13]

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

Then we'd get a home made looking Spider-Man suit like from SM1 with Spidey vs Bonesaw...

 

[Gamma Goliath]

if theyre going for a more serious spidey, i think del otto style design would be great

 

[Nathan]

I say use the Ultimate route to explain how he got the suit together. He wrestles and gets the basic red & blue tights with mask and everything and later he adds the webs and Spider symbols himself.

How can some support the web shooter idea and then ask for realism in the costume?

If someone is smart enough to create a web shooter then surely they can make a great looking outfit out of lycra.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Well, the costume as is, is perfect. But...nothing wrong with putting a new spin on things.

I do not see the correlation between scientific proficiency and cost-efficient material designer.

 

[craigdbfan]

I do not see the correlation between scientific proficiency and cost-efficient material designer.

And making a web shooter would be cost efficient? Absolutely not.

If someone can construct such a device is it really that hard to suspend disbelief that he can make a body tight lycra suit?

 

[Crook]

The device itself is used to extract and guide the fluids from the cartridges. That can be made with cheap metal and plastic. As for the silk, I can only assume Peter experimented with a variety of chemicals and all that science-y stuff. Material which could conceivably be attained at any science educated institution. Shouldn't be hard for Peter.

Raimi's suit in particular just looked damn expensive, lol. The material, the design work, it all looked top-grade in every aspect. No one's asking for Halloween-grade stuff, but a modest approach to the suit would be refreshing.

 

[Alex Summers]

I was thinking his costume should be based on Ben Reilly's costume. It's different and pretty cool looking.

 

[Artistsean]

Well, what if this movie reboot takes place during the first movie?
Maybe these next movies will be right after Peter becomes Spider-Man but before he graduates from High School.
So he would have the same costume.
Not saying they should do that, just saying it would be the same costume.

 

[sdc10]

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

Yes it was, but back in those days just printing straight black didnt come out that well so black often had a highlight color with it such as blue and red. Overtime however blue became the dominant color in Spidey's outfit. Same thing happened to Batman, which is often why his cape and cowl is blue instead of black.

 

[Doctor Who]

I'm assuming they will ditch the red and blue and create a darker Spiderman like Alex Ross' design, black and red with black lenses (sans web shooters).


They also need to address the origin of the costume in the reboot: is Parker's silk is involved in its production, and who is his taylor?

You know what's funny is that Spiderman was originally black and red with white eyes in the first few issues of Amazing Fantasy and the amazing Spiderman. I'd love to see more of Steve Ditko's design like the original black a red, webshooters, and web under the arms to go into the next one, but more modernized.

 

[Kane]

I think it would be interesting to see a couple different costumes in the film. At first he could have that black and red costume that's more in tune to Ditko's original Spider-Man designs. Then, something happens that would cause Peter to string together a newer suit, which would be the more familiar blue and red design. Something along the lines of what they did in Iron Man with the different armors.

I'm also siding with the people that are saying that the costume should not look so expensive, as it did in Raimi's films. I mean, I don't want it to look terrible like a bad Halloween costume. But I would appreciate a more grounded approach. Something that, if you stretch the believability factor, could be plausible for him to put together. Then again, it wasn't something that really bothered me, so if they keep with that, I'm okay.

 

[thorstone]

It would be funny if they did a black and white suit:

 

[hitpehoaos]

The colours on the costume need to be less bright, otherwise villians could spot him from from the otherside of New York. If the colours were toned down a little it would look better!

 

[craigaat]

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

I agree with that, the should look at Kick-Ass for inspiration.

 

[Micah12345]

It would be pretty sweet if they did a different costume for each film.

Like in the first one have it black and red, with the webs between the arms and body.

Then in the second, do a more traditional blue and red with no webs and maybe different eyes and/or material.

Then if the story permits it maybe do the symbiote suit for a good amount of time in one of them.

 

[Casius--J]

The costume in the movie is perfect. But for the sake of it being a reboot I'd imagine they'd want to change it so not to confuse the audience going into it.

So in this case I would like them to use the original design but just "Tone" it down a little so it looks a bit more home made. Such as removing the raised webbing and making it black instead, not having the scales in the blue areas of the costume and perhaps not make the eyes mirrored.

 

[UnionJack]

I think the suit from the last 3 films works well, just make the black rim around the eyes a little thicker

 

[Daybreak_st]

I just don't see the purpose of armpit webbing. It was dropped from the comics years ago. And really...why?

I agree the Gabriele Dell'Otto. art is amazing and should def be used if looking for a new way to portray the classic costume, the art also has a more serious/darker vibe that they may be looking for.

Interestingly enough an iron man comic artist was brought on to help with concept design for the movie (Andi Granov) so i think it would be a smart move to bring in Gabriele Dell'Otto to help with the design work on this one.

 

[smoothbody]

Here is the suit that should be in the new movie, because Peter can't afford to make a high tech suit. Peter doesn't draw his suit in a scrapbook. Peter uses needle and thread to make his suit, and this costume is perfect.
Cant wait to see Shia put this suit together in the new movie. Wooooohooooooo.

 

[Dangerous]

eyes way too big there, look stupid.

I think we can all agree tho, a more comic faithful version with no raised webbing, rounder eyes, and a fat round back spider is the way to go. Underarms webs too I think they will use to help distinguish both series.
