Should they recycle or discard Sam Raimi's spider suit

I kinda want a new suit, just to distinguish this more from the Raimi films, I wanted the classic suit in the first film because well it was his suit but that it's been done I want to see something new,

Maybe Iron Spider without the iron.


the first movie almost went with Alex Ross designs so why not try it now.


but if they want to go classic but still give it change they could go with Ben Reilly's costume, I always liked his suit.


but classic is still cool with me, whatever they do should be fine.

I like the idea of having the indicator on the suit for web shooters, but they could just go with bracelets

In Spider-man 2 I thought, oh he's losing his powers, here come the web shooters! But nah didn't happen, someone made an article about the white part of the mask moving, I would love that, like to show emotion, and the utility belt, I know it's silly but it would go to show he is a amazing scientist, also forget the trademark red/blue I want red/black go for something different.
Also I too want a skinny spidey OMG, For goodness sakes, He was 14 when he got bit by the spider, but no one mentions he's suppose to be young!
And I don't know if you can tell in this vid or not, I want to see the outlines of his eyes through his mask for detail.

This guy is amazing! he is not a pro, but he is my favorite!

Hey @matt28 actually I liked this two designs of the suit in the article! The way the web shoot is put on the first picture is very clever.
And yeah I want to see web shooters, that would bring funny moments on the movie and trouble for Peter on the fights lol.

It'd be cool to see the web-shooters for a change since this is a reboot. But I just can't see the suit being changed. From the classic to the ultimate versions, the costume has remained practically the same (save for the shape and size of the eye pieces) and has become a part of the character.

I do think they should change the fabric of which the suit was made from. The suit Peter made from Raimi's films doesn't look like anything anyone could pick up or sow on their own. They could just make the suit of a different fabric; something that looks homemade. Either that or go with the ultimate route's origins and just let it have been given to Peter for his short and brief wrestling career.

Other things they could change are the size and shape of the eye pieces. Raimi's films had the size more wider and stretched, similarly as Todd McFarlane's illustrations. They could make them more oval-shaped like the classic Lee & Ditko version. That and add the under-webbing.

Overall, other suits that I would like to see would be the black suit (not as the symbiote, but something Peter creates for more stealthier missions) and the Reilly version with the hoodie (as a type of proto-type costume), but I can't see them changing the suit.

And like what you and gambitfreak said, they should just try and make Peter look skinny in the suit. He is supposed to be a teenager and you'd think the tights he is wearing would show that! :)

I am a child of the Larson/McFarlane spidey so if I could change anything from the Raimi suit it would be the eyes, colors, and pattern.

Eyes: I agree with the previous posts; the eyes need a more oval organic feel to the white areas and a thicker black boarder with more pronounced points at the tear ducts and upper edge. As for showing emotion, it could easily be done with minor CG touches. But how would they explain it? I love the organic feel of the illustrations in the article.

Colors: I always found the Raimi suits a bit drab almost washed out at times. There needs to be a very striking crimson red something very vibrant, not pinkish and certainly not maroon. I am sick of seeing red suits made darker for film... I'm looking at you DD and Superman. As for the blue, make it darker; a deep navy to near black with a navy sheen would look awesome.

Pattern: We've seen the wide raised webs, why not try a tighter more compact web pattern in a pearl black metallic finish so that when light strikes certain parts of the webbing it will appear slightly raised and take on a silverish slightly sparkling appearance. I saw a cosplayer do this at DragonCon last year and in a darker room it made a unique effect of allowing him to be nearly unseen in shadows, but the webbing caught the light and shown in the dark on a quarter of the suit outlining half his face, shoulder, and arm. I thought it looked brilliant. The webbing was a stretchable rubber mesh that he had painted with pearl metallic automotive paint of all things. I also wouldn't mind seeing the thin stretchable armpit webbing.

As for the web shooters, I know it’s not popular, but I didn't mind the organic shooters so much. I thought it showed how much the toxin affected Pete giving him even more spider-like ability than just the sticking to walls.

Alternate costumes would be interesting too. I wouldn't mind seeing Pete in a few versions of the suit that look more like other well known spidersuits through the years, maybe a Ben Reilly variant with the large chest Spider, a simpler Scarlet Spider look, but the only thing I request; it they ever do the black suit don't touch a thing. In my mind the black suit was one of the most awesome supersuits in comic history. The Black suit's simplicity and graph starkness is simply perfect to me, a solid black body suit and mask with the sharp white eyes, massive wrap around spider emblem, and the white pads on the top od the fists... I was just awesome.

I think they should KEEP everything (ADD SHOOTERS) and make a decent (AWESOME) SPIDER-MAN 4!!!

Recast the PP and MJ if must, but a continuation a must....


[frick] da REBOOT! : P

that suit is superawesome !

I don't like the stripe going down his leg, but I like the Web shooters on the wrist but I dont like the buttons on his palms it should just feel the pressure from his fingers.

frick the reboot continue on from the last story line. Recast and keep going...the spidey suit that raimi was awesome...not sure where there could be any improvements IMO.

I like that concept art. Who drew that?

I agree: I wish Peter had made his own suit, it's part of the charm. That's why Kick-Ass is this century's Spidey.
Web-shooters: if they're smart, he will find something that his dad invented and somehow piece it together. But the hard to cut/tear webbing and replenishing it, it's still a stretch even for a comic book movie. Why wouldn't he patent it and make tons of money?
The reboot is what it is. Just remember, Spider-Man won't be the last to have it done. People will start freaking when they do it to Batman, Iron Man, and...Howard the Duck!

I like the drawing up top that would work for me YAY SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the web shooters running out of fluid is always used as a weak plot device.

I want the costume to be a combo of Eviltwins eye Idea, That second Concept sketch and some of Ben Reilly's costume in there, and maybe some web wings under his arms like in the old comic book just to see what that would look like Live. I loved the old costume but hell it looked far to complex for Peter to make, I mean he is a photographer and sciencetest, not a seamstress.

But seriously new costume! Or whats the point of this reboot...

YOU SHOULD STOP BITCHING ABOUT A REBOOT.. it needed it!!! more than any movie i have seen except for ghost rider and xmen!!! please i pray for a reboot

I like the costume in the Raimi films, but I'm open to a change as well. By "change," I should clarify that I still think it should stick to the comic look. Raimi's was real close, but it seems to me you could do a different look that's also real close to the comics.

I love the second pic up there and think that would be perfect.

yeah, gotta ditch the gray webs. make them black and everything will be cool! otherwise the suit was spot on! wouldn't change a thing.

and no. no mechanical web shooters. and it's for the same reason Raimi never showed peter "making" his final suit. it just raises to many questions. how did he make that? oh he's a tailor now too? how did he design those web shooters? he's so broke but so smart he can invent a weapon no one else has ever heard of nor will try to emulate? he works for his jerk boss Jameson when he could be making millions working for the government developing something tony stark himself couldn't make? and he's 15???... it's ridiculous. audiences are too smart for this and it would waste so much screen time explaining how he makes his costume and web shooters while working, going to school, having a social life, and being spider-man all before getting home before curfew. no thanks...

i remember watching the spider-man cartoon as a 7 year old, seriously, and i found out his web shooters were invented by him and not organic. and as a 7 year old kid i knew that made no sense. and it still doesn't and Raimi knew it too.

a guy with the powers of a spider should be able to spin his own webs. it should part of his abilities.

Ach! Guys come on. The suit can still be "the suit" from the comics, but look different.







All of these are the classic Spiderman suit much like Raimi used. Each of these suits look very different because even though the design is the same the style used to reach that design is very different. That is how I see Webb bringing the suit to the screen, use the classic design, but add his own flair to it. It will still be Spiderman, just in a new style that could basically be the suit, but very different than we have seen before.

Webb is NOT going to reuse the suit or ANYTHING from the Raimi films. Why? Because these are HIS Spiderfilms now, not Raimi's. Whether the SHOULD reuse the suit is a moot point, they frankly WON'T reuse the suit as it was.
