SPIDER-MAN IS SEEN! AND SULLEN!

Neat picture. And web-shooters!

That's gotta be his first 'amateur' costume or something. Look, the iron-on Spider decal is peeling off!

 Wasn't there some debate about whether or not Parker would even wear the costume in this film? 

The bunching around the wrists could mean web-shooters, I guess... but I don't think it's conclusive (unless that's already been confirmed?).

Another change: the 'streaking' of the colors of his gloves around the forearms.  Hm.

I'm with Patrick, web-shooters!

It doesn't just look like bunching, there's a distinct metallic color. I think.

Don't really buy the idea that Parker could have stitched that up on his own, but it's perfectly fine, I guess. Honestly though at this point unless a costume is super-horrible (GL), it doesn't really do much to capture my imagination

I like it.  The new material is spiffy and he doesn't have that BEEFCAKE look that Toby had. Much more wiry. Now we just need to see him in action.

It's like the 60's cartoon in that the webs don't continue over the torso.

I don't like it. The Raimi costume was perfection.

Could be webshooters, yeah. Trying not to get all 'omg! they r back!'. Or it could his gloves have grown a little slack after what looks like the epic beatdown he just incurred at the hands of whoever. Actually, I dig it. I also like Garfield looking like a nerdy teenage kid, all wiry and spindly. Worst part is that it looks like he's going back home to finish up some homework. Harsh.

Patrick Ripoll, I hope you are right about Spider-Man losing that Ick factor of natuarally producing his own webs in favor of...Webshooters.  That, would definitely make it better than the, Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, in terms of faithfulness to the character.

They don't look like web shooters to me. Just gloves being gloves. But I don't like the suit too much. It's not bad, but it's lacking compared to the Raimi one. 

 Yeah I'm not seeing anything metallic, Patrick...?

And I too just noticed that the web motif stops at his chest.  Not a fan of that.

I like it - though I agree, yeah it's a costume. Most of the differences are small, subtle ones. I like the way the "gauntlets" spiral around his forearms. Neat touch. Also like the darker shades of red and blue.

I like the Raimi version just fine, too. I expected this to be different, if only to reinforce this isn't part of that series of films.

Yep I agree, there is just something,,,,off about it, I hope I'm just missing Rami though,

Edited to add I know what off about it now, it looks like he is wearing a mankini over blue pyjamas.

As someone who doesn't support this film at all... I actually like this costume. Now all we have to see is the mask.

With the spider-logo looking messed up, isn't it pretty obvious he's been through a fight which has damaged his costume?

Definitely getting an Ultimate (see: puny) vibe here; take that as you will. But there doesn't seem much to react toward considering there wasn't going to be too many ways to deviate from what was previously done.

Yeah I thought that was obvious too. It's roughed up.

There are two metallic "bubbles" on the underside of each wrist. Check out the hi-res pic to see more detail....
 

I really love the texture of the suit.  Looks good to me.

Agreed on the mask, one of the (only) things that always annoyed me were those lenses on the old mask. Hopefully they've changed it up too.  Wonder when we're gonna see The Lizard...

I'm just surprised the first pic of Garfield's Spider-man wasn't a spy-photo leaked to Just Jared or some such, but this rather arty press photo.

As someone who never read the comics, I must be about the only one who thinks for a guy (high schooler, no less) who gets bitten by a radioactive spider and thus, is given spider-like powers, "organic" webshooters make SO much more fucking sense than mechanical devices he somehow builds into his suit. But that's just me I guess.

Also if I'm nitpicking (and I am), the suit looks a bit "over-designed" to me. But, it's a suit I guess.

Wow this is impressive. The suit has a much more home made look then the Raimi version. It is slightly over designed but not too crazy. Really need to see it with the mask.

It's recognizable to the classic Spider-Man motif while still being different from the Tobey Maguire design. Very very good job!

Well, if you're being 100% true to him being a human spider, the web sure wouldn't be coming out of his wrists...

Good thing he doesn't have a secret identity or anything...

Aah, but Peter Parker isn't just any high school kid, he's like, wicked smaht. Him building the webshooters is a testament to his craft and ingenuity and oh my god, it's like pre-2002 all over again...

Flames on Optimus Prime, motherfuckers! :: twinge ::

Although I had no problem with Maguire's Beef Factor, I agree. This looks very cool to me and I'm more taken with Garfield in the suit than I was before.

YES!

Shouldn't everyone wait until they've seen the whole costume, mask and all, before giving out their pass or fail marks?

I don't like the way the spider decal continues all the way down to the crotch and how the web pattern stops after his chest, but these aren't enough to distract me. At the end of the day, he still looks like Spidey.

Totally not trying to be a dick, but how, exactly, does this look "more home made?" Spiderman, perhaps more than any other hero, has always had the biggest "how in the FUCK does he get/make that thing?" factor for me. Both the Raimi suit (and I'd say this one even more so due to it's rubbery texture) seem incredibly difficult to just whip up at home. They look like... well, what they are: something a professional costume designer in Hollywood put together.

note: That's not to say I'm above having fun or want them to get "all Nolan" with the costume. My concerns with this one are niggling at best. I mean, he still looks like iconic Spidey, more or less.

 Homemade might be a bad word for it. But it looks much more stitched together and not like he shops at the same store at Burton's Batman.

Equally not trying to be a jerk, but I think we're invited to fill in the blanks a little with Pete's costume. His smarts are obviously beyond question and he applies himself in ways other kids his age just couldn't fathom. Is it too much to ask that the guy set his homework aside for a bit and cracked open a few books on clothing... needle and thread. I'm deliberately being glib with that phrasing since there's probably minimal knitting involved in superhero tailoring but still. Hopefully, you see my point.

It starts.

Besides all my 'nerd-rage' reactions to why it is not an exact duplicate of the comic book costume, like others have said above me, I still dig that he's all early Ditko skinny.

"Home made" may have been a bad word choice. It's still elaborate for a down on his luck student to make but it has more of a stitched together quality then the Raimi suit.

I'm with Joeypants on the webshooters.

And while this isn't - understandably - provoking the reactions the suit from TDK did, I think it's good to remember that it's highly, highly unlikely we'll ever see the suit in stillness. The real judgment comes from "how does it look in action?" And I'm thinking this won't look significantly different from the Raimi version, leanness of the profile notwithstanding.

I see webshooters, too.

The organic/homemade webshooters debate never really interested me. Once you establish where they came from, they're not really anything you spend time thinking about from then on. My only thought, before the first film came out, was "cool -- we won't have to see him run out of webbing for dramatic effect". Even as a little kid, I got tired of seeing Spider-Man suddenly run out of webbing, just to add more tension to a battle.

Then, they figured out how to make him run out of webbing for dramatic effect.

So, whatever. Bring on the homemade webshooters.

Looks fine to me, though I'm still sort of on the fence about this whole reboot thing.  I'm hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst.  This shot doesn't really do much to sway me one way or the other, but right now I'll say this...it could be a hell of a lot worse.

Would you be more satisfied with the suit if it looked like the one from Kick-Ass?

Isn't the Spider-Man suit an iconic thing? He'll never be as rich as Wayne, so unless Aunt May turns out to be a world-class costume designer who actually trained Peter from an early age on, there is no way Peter would ever have an amazing suit like that. And that's the question you should ask yourself - do you want Spider-Man suited up or not? If yes, fine, but stop complaining that's it not realistic. Because it's simply not possible to have it be realistic. If no, would you actually rather have seen the crappy Human Spider costume Parker wears to the Bonesaw fight - in all three of Raimis flicks? Because that's closer to what a teenage mutant crime-fighting student would be able to accomplish in given time.


 

I like it. It isn't as 'polished' as Raimi's, but it does a great job of distinguishing itself from the Raimi film while making its own style. I really like the material used as well as the way the arms and gloves look.

Not a big fan of the really super think spider though, Always liked the thicker, more prominent spider.

It's a Spider-Man suit.  They made a few changes to distinguish itself a little from Raimi's vision, but it's one still so it's hard to lay on too much criticism.

I'm in. I could care less about the little details of the suit, I just love that the first picture the studio released of the character was without his mask and with a backpack slung over his shoulder. Gives me hope that they "get it".

This image is very large and I don't want to mess up the thread. But it looks like metal to me.

I remember being floored when I saw the Raimi costume for the first time in 2001.  This...not so much.  It looks too much like Ben Reilly Spider-Man combined with an X-Men movie suit to me.  It'll probably grow on me, but I was really hoping for something closer to the Ditko/Romita look.  I do dig the slimmer figure.

Those are definitely web shooters.

Yeah, I see the metal as well. Looks like no more organic.

The costume tweaks don't really bother me, but I don't think it's  an improvement over the last one.

Did they eliminate the "belt" or is just covered with dirt/grease/whatever?

Who's writing this again?
