Garfield’s Shiny Spider-Suit Hits The Web

Last week there were a few behind the scenes photos of the Spider-Man reboot that few cared about because it was two actors having lunch during a break. Today is another ballgame. The first official image of Andrew Garfield in the Spidey suit has been released. Reelz Channel shares:

What’s striking about the image is just how different the new costume is from not only the comic book version of Spidey’s duds, but from the movie costume worn by Tobey Maguire in director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy.

The four visible differences are: Garfield’s webbing is black, the spider emblem on the chest is different, the arms and gloves don’t apppear to connect, and the suit is a bit more reflective.

Below is a look see:

This, to me, is a great redesign. Its still the classic costume in essence, but they,ve tweeked a few things to make it more realistic and a little bit more gritty.

The ink that looks like its running is great! It looks to me like there going for a more realistic style of spider-man, in keeping with the modern comicbook movie trend ala Dark Knight and Ironman.

Honistly, this is such a great shot. THis IS Peter Parker, this is the character with the weight of the world pulling on his heart. Black ink poring out of his heart, what a subtle but delightful HINT at what will eventually happen to the character… ie the birth of VENOM.

Looking forward.

Anybody else notice how the suit in the photo seems to be in two parts a top and a bottom. You see some red around Garfield’s waist. It may be that he has the top portion untucked at the moment.When and if it is tucked in, the red waist ban is visible. Just my observation though.

The way they had Tobey play the role so dead pan and uninterested is where they missed the mark. Although Peter may have not liked how chaotic Spider Man made his life in the comics, you got the feeling through his joking and lightheartedness that he liked being Spidey. Raimi never conveyed that in his films. Peter seemed as though he really disliked being Spidey.

The Spiderman franchise was the biggest pile of shit superhero movies ever made. I for one am very happy they are going to reboot. Hopefully they don’t make PP/Spiderman a little bitch in this movie like he was in the other ones. To me, the existing Spiderman franchise is the Twilight of superhero movies! I like the costume and him being so disheveled in the picture is hopefully a sign of the ass kickery that will be in this movie. I so hope the Lizard is in it!

I thought the suit looked really good. Absolutely perfect for what peter parker is supposed to look like…a geeky lean athletic superhero. Spiderman is definately my favourite superhero

  ooops, wasnt finished that…..Definately my favourtie superhero and i loved the first 2 Raimey films and was entertained by the 3rd one but having said this i think the films can only get better. Tobey Maguire was an awful peter parker. He didnt have enough likeability, he didnt have the cheeky comments when fighting like spidey should. Dunst was an awful MJ. So far with the casting for the reboot i think they are spot on.
  
  P.S why does it matter if they are doing a reboot only 10 years after the “best superhero movie” (which was really a mediocre film enhanced by the fact we all love spidey) If anything people should be over the moon we dont have to see Maguire’s face on screen AND we get to watch our friendly neighbour hood spidey in another film. CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT

    Hold on there sparky! Tobey was a good Peter Parker, what the writers did with him is not his fault entirely( little whimpy for some). I’ll give you guys MJ. BUT Tobey was cool in my book. in retrospect He was the best choice at the time. he was instantly likeable and showed great depth as Peter to me. Fuck all this “Hated Tobey” nonsense.
    
    my 2 cents
