First Look: Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man Costume

I'm torn between liking this suit and not. I like the shades of blue and red. I like the pattern around the glove. Not to thrilled about the "web" pattern. It looks odd, it doesn't scream out webbing to me. The mask is what is going to make or break this suit. I'm fascinated at how the "web" pattern will meet on the mask, not to mention what the mask and spider emblem on his back look like. It's a suit that will have to grow on me.
 
Very true.

The mask will make or break this costume.

I kinda hope they go with smaller eye lenses on this one. The huge ones were cool for the 90's but just look weird these days. The smaller designs always look nice and creepy.

I've been liking how some of the more recent comic artists have been drawing the eyes. More tapered / sharp looking, with more "black" around the outside.

I'm maybe one of the few people that wasn't crazy about the Raimi / Maguire / James Acheson "triangle" eyes. The black outline doesn't have as much character as some of the comic eyes.

Very true.

Yeah, not a fan of the triangle movie eyes.

A little too "hard".

The eyes on the Japanese Spidey show costume are a pretty cool shape.

I'm sure I've gotta be one of very few on this particular preference of mine but I actually really like the silver eyes as seen VERY briefly in the first film (at least it was definitely in the first 'world trade center' teaser trailer) and also in the late '70s Nicholas Hammond tv show.

the silver eyes would probably be a nightmare for the post production people since reflections from the crew and stuff would constantly be visible in the lenses.

But I want huge eyes like the Mark Bagley style art.

Hate the big eyes because it's not what I knew growing up. Raimi got the suit absolutely right - I thought it really worked. A great tribute to the Romita Spider-Man era. I suspect this new Spidey will have the big eyes.
 
The argument will be GOOD GOD YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY THINK YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THE EYE SHAPE FROM THOSE PHOTOS CAN YOU YOU DRUNKEN SOTS?
 
Re: First sneek peek of the new Spidey

up in the costume forum already under Spiderman Reboot Costumes- people have even photoshopped a spiderman mask onto the photo... looks pretty slick
 
Well, I always had to agree that the larger eye lenses or openings in the mask would allow him to actually see, though I guess with "Spidey sense," he doesn't need to...

Nice sketch, Larry!
 
Thanks, Guy! I will note, ruefully if not a bit petulantly, that no one else has taken up Steve's thrown gauntlet and sketched their version of Spidey. I want to see doodles! :)
