Yeah it's definitely an origins story, and a high school Peter Parker.

It probably will be an origin story, but that doesn't mean it can't be a compelling watch. Batman Begins spent a full hour (if not more) setting up a story we've already heard thousands of times before, before we even saw Bats in suit for the first time. And it was awesome. It's the execution that matters, to me anyway.

not really. the Tim Burton Batman wasn't much of an origin story at all. he just showed up. dont remember Batman fighting ninjas in Asia or Ra's Al Ghul in that one.

Okay? Not sure what your point is. What does that have to do with Batman Begins being a compelling origin story?

'Setting up a story we've already heard thousands of times before' - as in, we'd heard the story, but hadn't had the setting up.

Ah, well I'm sure it's all of the above.

it was compelling enough i guess (a solid B), but the point is we we hadn't really heard the Batman origin a thousand times, except for the murder part, and we just saw the Spiderman one a few years ago, and it mostly got it right. add that to the millions of other comic book movie origin stories we've seen, many with the same basic story, and people are bound to get sick of it eventually.

i think i'm just starting to get a little burned out on superhero movies.

While I'll agree it did get annoying to progressively keep showing Tobey's face while in the suit in the trilogy, I wouldn't worry too much about this right now, I mean we really have practically zero context for this image. No reason necessarily to believe they'd go in a similar direction with that point.

He wasn't saying we had, which was my point above.

Are you a comic geek?

I mean this goes back to the write and director of comic book movies, being do you want to write a story for the mainstream or do you write a story for the geeks!

It's more than likely just a promo photo and not a still from the film.

the fact that captain stacey has a role in this film makes me think this is indeed from the film and not a promo

while they did it in 3, i think this maybe the iconic garbage can scene as illustrated in the comic here

New 'Spider-Man' Reboot Photo With Mask & Web-Shooter Closeups!

All this week we've seen photos and footage from the Los Angeles set of Sony's upcoming reboot of the "Spider-Man" movie franchise. And while it's always fun to analyze blurry, occasionally confusing shots of the film and its web-slinging hero in action, it's even better when we get a nice, clean shot of the ol' wall-crawler to scrutinize.

For example, this new photo from the set of the film:

Image

Yes, that's a brand new photo of Spider-Man in action while filming a scene in Marc Webb's upcoming reboot — and there are at least two very interesting elements of the image that caught my eye right away.

1. THE MASK

The first image of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man gave us a great look at the new costume our friendly neighborhood webslinger will sport in the relaunched film franchise, but it was missing one big item: the mask. While this new photo from the set of the film looks like it features the version of the costume used for stunts — likely to differ from the up-close, camera-friendly costume design — it does give us some indication of what to expect from Spidey's mask.


Everyone wondering about the size and shape of Spider-Man's eyes on the costume might find at least some answer in the new photo — though fans of Todd McFarlane's iconic large-eyed mask will likely be disappointed. Oh, and if you're wondering about the red eyes, I'm pretty sure that's just part of the stunt costume, not the final look (the same might be said of the "sneakers," too — though we'll have to wait for more official imagery to be sure).

2. THE WEB-SHOOTERS

One of the biggest questions that popped up after we saw the first photo of the new Spider-Man costume involves the presence of those metal discs on Spidey's wrists. Are they a modern take on the mechanical web-shooters Spider-Man began his career with, or just a contraption that facilitates organic web-slinging? Garfield's co-star Emma Stone (who plays Gwen Stacy) only added fuel to the fires of speculation when she confirmed that they were "a device" to shoot webbing.


In this new photo, we get an even closer look at the discs, and from a slightly different angle than we've seen in previous photos. I'm still not sure what conclusions to draw from this element of the photo, but I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it.

While those are the two items that particularly caught my eye in the photo, the new image also gives us a good look at the color scheme and side profile of Spidey's new suit. It's clearly a significant departure from the costume Tobey Maguire wore in Sam Raimi's three-film franchise, and looks a bit more sleek than its predecessor, among other differences.

What do you think?

its probably going to suck unless nolan or favreueueue directs it.


cause batman and iron man are the only two good "comic" movie/series out there. Thats a fact.

Also, if you dont like batman begins then you hate your grandma. That move is awesome and i dont care if the bat suit every comes out in it cause its so awesome. Scientific facts here, people.
