Is that a new costume, or did they just put a mask on and leave the hood down?

I like this new costume. It makes it a lot less likely that our hero will have his "secret identity" revealed in a fight when his foe merely pulls the hoodie part off of his head. I also agree with Leee- it does have kind of a Zorro thing going, which is cool.

So is the costume going to change as the show goes on, or have they redone it from the original to insert the new look in from the beginning?

I'm looking forward to watching this.

:-) I think the domino mask is a much better touch.

It would be nice to get an accurate looking, made for tv, "known" superhero tv series though. :-P

So far all we've had is things like Blade an Smallville

yawn :-<>

If its good it may open the door, if not' they'll be more inclined to think that superhero tv shows arnt marketable rather than believe that they created something and a character that didint work or appeal.

Funny, just watched an ep yesterday heh.

Nice vid btw lol.

this show doesn't do anything for me from what i've seen or heard.

bring back "heroes" & lets get marvel shows up & running.

Elle1980s - 11/16/2010, 8:55 AM
:-) thanks LEEE :-) makes me laugh everytime i watch it. LoL

I've just never been able to get into Smallville, dont get me wrong i like Superman an Supergirl etc, it just always looks a little boring when its on :-(

Didint they say something about a Moon Knight Marvel character tv show a while ago??

Well i hate it. I felt the hood alone was interesting in a "Cloak" from Cloak and Dagger sort of way. But this mask is just rubbish. Such a cheap peace of cloth too. I mean, i understand comicb00kguy's point of view and although i agree with it, i still think it could have been cool to always have his face shaded somehow. But anyhoo, the show still looks awesome and i hope he upgrades his mask to something WAY better.

Looks like a night wing and hawk eye mix. I still say this show will
Go no where. Deadpool 72 he'll Yafo bringing back heroes

The original one had a very Assassins Creed kinda thing going which was pretty awesome. Not diggin' the new one as much.

the new 1 is ok i like the original a million times more tho the original gives him a truly badass feel

And my interest in this show begins to go into the minus's.

omegamojo - 11/16/2010, 9:28 AM
Like some of the others said, first thought on the new one is Zorro - needs the hood up for sure.

@Gmoney84 right on w the Assassin's Creed look in the original pic. Better, darker feel for me.

If anything, I'm only watching the first few episodes to catch Summer. Needs to hook me to keep me watching though.

Yeah the original costume is 1000x better

ZombieOverEasy - 11/16/2010, 9:48 AM
I did think it was stupid that his face wasn't covered, but I think now it's worse with it covered by that mask.

I hope this is just a test image of a new costume or that it's still in early stages. Although I suppose it doesn't matter, no matter how good/bad this show is, it'll be canceled before episode 3.

mask makes him look corny

ThePhantom832 - 11/16/2010, 9:55 AM
Keep the mask as a full head mask, and the hood for times of just disappearing into the crowd,,,

skidz - 11/16/2010, 10:00 AM
I like the feel of the original. The hood is cooler.
DoubleW
DoubleW - 11/16/2010, 10:05 AM
I absolutely HATE the new look. It looks so completely gay with that Zorro mask. The other had a bit of a Moon Knight feel with a supernatural flair to it as well. I was really excited about this show, but now...not so much.

LEEE777 - 11/16/2010, 10:07 AM
ELLE @ Yeah lol MOONKNIGHT was supposed to appear in the BLADE TV series but when that got canned so did MOON KNIGHTS spin-off show!

More talk about it tho, I say get DDD's pick of 'Burn Notice' to star as Marc Spector, that'll be cool!

Yeah, if you wanna watch SMALLVILLE watch it from the early seasons, seasons 8 and on are very poor, though theres a couple of good eps like LOSH and JSA but thats about it.

Yeah that vid cracked me up heh heh! : P


SHAMAN @ Omega @ Agreed, I like the hood too, heck he's still probably gonna be wearing it anyways lol.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 11/16/2010, 10:08 AM
Ummm.... actually if you look at the second picture more closely the HOOD's still there lol, its just a new MASK!? : p




Damn, Marvel should have done their MOON KNIGHT show when they had the chance!

CAPE's gonna rule though hopefully!
Shaman
Shaman - 11/16/2010, 10:14 AM
LEEE- Yeah but the mask actually sucks. I wouldn't say if they gave him a better mask, but this is atrocious. They could have given him a Red Robin type cowl and left the hood over it. Or just a better all around domino mask would do.
comicb00kguy
comicb00kguy - 11/16/2010, 10:18 AM
I think that Leee's right- the mask is only visible when the hood is down. That would make sense (as I stated earlier) to help him keep from being revealed if the hood falls off or is pulled off during a fight. The more I think about this, I hope that this new look keeps the hood, though. It can be useful for when the character is hiding in the shadows like Batman and hides his eyes better,and it does add to his overall look.

Shaman: Maybe the mask is MEANT to look a little goofy, in a Kick Ass sense. Here's a real guy trying to piece together a costume to imitate a comic book character. This mask looks like something an ordinary guy with limited resources could find at a costume shop or something.
DoubleW
DoubleW - 11/16/2010, 10:23 AM
LEEE- Thanks for that pic. I hadn't see it. Makes me feel a little better about the mask. It's not SO bad after all. I can live with it I guess. Just so long as the show isn't a pile of crap.

patriautism - 11/16/2010, 10:36 AM
He looks like Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2. I'm hoping this will be good.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 11/16/2010, 10:38 AM
DoubleW @ Cool and yeah fingers crossed.... gotta admit he looks a lot like Marvel's KING COBRA character with the mask an the hood!

comicb00kguy @ Very true, after all he is an ordinary guy, just a family guy whos on the force then.

I always wondered how Peter Parker got the suit in the movies lol, did he go to the Fantastic Four?!? ; P

SHAMAN @ I feel ya buddy and agree, hey anything could change on this show as time goes on, hopefully for the better too!
Shaman
Shaman - 11/16/2010, 11:53 AM
comicb00kguy- You have a point. That could very well be the idea. I just figure that if those circus clowns can get him a nice looking cape instead of a torn up cloak, they certainly could give him a better mask. But still... good point ;)

Too true LEEE, we never know ;)

I don't mind having the mask under the hood. But I don't want the mask without the hood except occasionally when the hood drops back.

I'm looking forward to this.

@Deadpool - You liked Heroes? Really? That explains a lot, I guess. That was one screwed up show that jumped the shark very early on.
