I kinda see this as like, the way Batman Begins and TDK updated the batsuit. It's not entirely different, but still something unique. From that photo, he's only missing the belt, and the gloves are tipped. He still has the spider emblem in his chest and honestly, the deal breaker to me will be the eyes on the spidey mask. They can't be round ala-noir, nor extremely jagged like a symbiote.
I like it, anything they can do to make me feel like I'm not re-watching the first spider-man film. They definitely need to make it their own and changing the costume a bit is definitely heading in the right direction.

About the webshooters yes but what about the suit? Come on Mr Parker!!
Myself I dislike this new approach, looks way too messy, almost grungy, like someones painted it on his body badly. Plus it has already made people wonder about the tone of the movie, especially with the apparent 'darkness' of this first image leak.
That image in the OP doesn't say friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man to me!!
Re: Re: Re: First look at Spider-man from the new movie.
Um clearly the image is suppose to be Peter right after a battle, hence he and his costume looks beat-up. Also that's suppose to be claw marks and not "like someone painted it on his body badly"
I like the costume. My only problem with it is that there are a few red parts missing around the waist. Where is that red belt around his waist that he has in the comics? There are also a few red parts missing on the hands. But overall, I like the costume. I think it looks good. And it is good to see that he will be using webshooters. Mr Parker should be happy now .

I've heard that argument already and can see the battle marks on the suit but the texture is way off, ribbed even (if you look it too much you get a strobe effect going on). People are already making jokes that it looks like a basketball texture or like Mystique's skin. Then over this you have this tacky liquid look which gives the look of paint, which is why I mentioned it.
The symbol looks like a confused mess and if you look closely around the battle damage the marks to indicate the black webbing are all over the place. Not to mention further down the suit when lightened you can clearly see seams and sectioning (why?), with weird rubber-like material.
The gloves: need I say more?
Change from Raimi's suit, fine, I understand that but to this?
Re: Re: Re: Re: First look at Spider-man from the new movie.
Possibly, but whether in light or in dark something about this costume doesn't feel right, to me anyway.
I really hope they don't try to 'darken' Spider-Man's character but from that image that's clearly the tone they are setting otherwise they wouldn't have released it like that. They'd have released a picture truer to his nature.
Even at the worst of times Spider-Man's always a character that is optimistic and bright and putting too much dark themes and angst, brooding and misery is going to turn people off, just look how people reacted to Raimi's representation of Venom Spider-Man.
Costume looks a lot brighter in this photo taken from the set. Honestly, my only real problem with the suit is the missing red band around the waist. Everything else is tolerable.
