      Cheer up, Peter! You're a star!
     Cheer up, Peter! You're a star!

    Lo and behold... the first official pic of Andrew Garfield as the wall-crawler in the new SPIDER-MAN reboot. Quite honestly,  thinking of all the movies costume publicity stills we’ve seen over the years - - from a mask-less Cap to a muscle-sinewed Green Lantern and even all the way back to first gold-florescent drenched shot of Christian Bale as Batman - - I don’t think I’ve had a more immediate “Yes!” reaction to a costume than this.

    I'm digging the meaner material and the slight tweaks like the added loops around the wrists and the lack of the “belt” on the hip. While the previous Spidey outfit was strand-for-strand faithful (aside from the texture,) this actually looks like a hand-me-down a high school kid ganked from a pro wrestling outfit and subsequently put through a wringer no high-powered washing machine nor heavy-duty dryer could help. Maybe more importantly, Garfield might be the first Spidey with a skinnier, almost- gangly physique that Steve Ditko might draw. == TEASER ==

    I’ll continue to assert that a lot of people are underestimating this reboot and it’s going to take fans by surprise. The fact that, of all the ways to present this outfit, they’ve chosen a discouraged, bloody and dirtied Peter Peter with his head hanging should be a sign that we're in store for something different here; something maybe even closer to comics like UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN.  

    And hey - - click on the pic and look at the hi-res. Are those mechanical web-shooters?!?! Are those claw marks from the Lizard?!?!

    Umm... I feel like the red bit goes down to far and becomes too slim at the end.  I dunno, something about this image doesn't scream super hero to me.

    Besides the "Reboot" (why so soon?) in the first line, I like this look.

    Looks like a very good costume. This reboot is shaping up to be much better than i expected. Although i can't see the mechanical web shooters i can see the claw marks from the Lizard. Nice

    Eeeeh, I have mixed feelings.  Aside from the fact that, again, not sure about Garfield in the role, I just am not sure I dig a lot of the changes.  The gloves look great, as does the distressed look of the costume and the scrawled Spidey symbol. 
    My biggest problem is the lack of the "belt".  It just makes the costume look... strange.  Kinda feminine, actually.  Also, I'm not sure about the material used for the blue sections.  It just looks a bit odd. 
    Usually I'm not this critical about the adaptations of Hollywood superhero costumes, but I actually feel like Spider-Man's isn't even that hard to nail, so seeing it and having a semi-negative feel towards it is something I felt I had to comment on.

    Ugh, I don't know how I feel about this.  When I look at this, I have these same lingering doubts as I did when I first saw Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern costume.  But at least it's not full on CGI.

    Aside from the red part being too skinny, it looks pretty spot on. I'm just hoping we get a wise crackin Spidey, and not another movie about a sad sack.

    I'm diggin' it.
     
    I am a HUGE fan of the initial Bendis and Bagley run on Ultimate Spider-Man, and this has a VERY Ultimate feel to it.
     
    Garfield's lanky physique really adds to the whole "I'm just a high school kid in a costume' feel, and, considering the high school setting of the movie, it fits like a glove.
     
    The grittier feel that I get from this picture really lends itself to how Spider-Man has ALWAYS been about how he deal with his everyday problems just as much as his superhero ones, if not more so.
     
    I just hope this doesn't become all about how emotional and hard life is. The last thing we need is an emo Peter Parker.

    Yay another Emo spiderman.
     
    Woulda liked to see webbing under the arms, n maybe a spider-signal belt lol
     
    Still my biggest question is why? It's a slap in the face, you made a spiderman franchise n now oh wait, all that and heres a completely different one not even ten years later. 
     
    Is it in 3D? xD

    I think he looks great! Granted, it's a lot easier to make a a skin-tight costume look good in the dark than in stark sunlight, but as a first look this is excellent. Age is just right, I immediately recognize him as Peter Parker.  The red stripe does go down pretty far in the front, sure to drive the young ladies wild ;)

    Looks awesome to me. I hope they are web shooters, hopefully we'll see a greater emphasis    on Peter Parkers smarts, and see some  new web compounds implamented when dealing with different situations.

    I don't think he's too skinny. He's supposed to be pretty young and I think being that skinny makes him look younger. The costume looks pretty good. Honestly, I would have preferred to see a costume that looks genuinely home-made. But it's not terrible by any means

    Not happy about the costume. Not quite. The actor looks like Spider-Man though. As did Toby, in my opinion. 
     
    Of course I'm going to see it when it comes out...

    I completely agree. I'm dying to see that. 
     
    As for the costume, I love the home-made feel (the spider logo in particular) and the gloves are fantastic. I would have much preferred the belt looking more traditional however. All in all, it's great and I'm thinking that his costume may evolve (like it did in the early Utlimate issues), meaning this may not be the final version... I can't wait to see the mask!

    I think it looks great. Combines all the facets of Peter you could hope to see in one photo - he's a gangly, skinny kid, beaten up and dejected and the costume looks great. 
     
    A great first impression I'd say!

    I am not liking what I'm seeing here.  I think Andrew Garfield looks great and he'll pull off the high school skinny peter just fine, but that costume is... well...  just bad. 
     
    I'm usually one that needs to see these things in full, but from what I can tell so far this rendition of the costume is it's just too grungy and not very 'friendly neighborhood.'  I'm very afraid to see what the do with the rest of the suit, especially the mask.   
     
    Overall, this looks like it belongs more in the failed "turn off the dark," then the next big screen outing.

    it's a big change now everybody complains, he's one of the few heroes that have been out recently that aren't incredibly buff

    AWESOME! I thought the same thing, before I even saw any comments about it! 
     
    However, I also agree with the guys who said the lack of 'belt' makes it look weird. I don't dig that part at ALL, it reminds me of how stupid Superman looks when you take away his red undies.

    Agreed with the belt, although it does look like he has red lining on the sides, he does look a bit different. The one thing I find funny is how can this kid afford this suit? I mean in the comics it's just cloth, but here it's like a freakin' NASA spacesuit xD
     
    Overall, except for the guys hair...it's HUGE! And I LOVE that they have Gwen in the movie!!! ^_^
