Black suit!


Venom here you come!

[TylerDurden182]

Sweet, that looks fucking awesome.

[Dead Halloween]

Are you sure that's the black suit? The black suit doesn't have those spider-web patterns.

[outsyder]

Bah. They got lazy. It's the regular suit painted black.

The symbiote suit doesn't quite look like that in the comic.

even though, SHH confirmed it, I don't need their confirmation to support my statement that it's a black suit. There's been way too much talk that Venom is in Spidey 3. This poster, plays a very neat trick on the audience. It uses a grim, rainy background (clouds and rain) and mixes Spidey, sitting on top of a pillar in a black suit. There's no way you can tell me that it's a regular suit Spidey wears, because even then you would be able to see colors if Spidey was in a rainy environment such as in that poster.

put 2 and 2 together, and you will be able to understand this strategy with the poster. It's more of a strategy to get people guessing and talking. It's like a clue that Venom is in Spider-Man 3

Cool but anyone else think spidey3 looks like its set in Basin city?

Says it's a black suit. So it is a black suit.

[Sigur509]

Ooooooooooo.


My excitement just jumped up 12 notches.

[Dead Halloween]

It looks more like the "Spider- Armor" than the black suit.
http://courtofmiracles.net/dreams/Spider/scans/armor.jpg

I don't like how this "black suit" looks. I hope Venom doesn't look like that.

[MisterTwister]

The suit looks pretty cool.

Well, they've changed just about everything else from the comic books, why not this, too?

Oh, and since there seemed to be some confusion about this being a "new" look for Spidey... well, I won't give anything away storyline-wise, but fear not... it's just a temporary thing :)

[ak]

So, I don't get it - Is that an image of Venom? Notice how Sony seem to be misleading us here.

We don't see the mouth-area of the suit there, or the logo, so that could very well be Venom.

[nachogrande]

I dont see what the big deal is. Its the regular suit spray painted black. Now if there were some other differences then yeh id be excited. But it looks like the same damn suit. What a rip

[thedudeman69]

It looks very cool.

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/warner_brothers/batman_begins/christian_bale/batmanbegins4.jpg The suit is black because it's the symbiote. Not because he made it himself.

[OpT!Mu5]

It's like a clue that Venom is in Spider-Man 3

Spiderman 3 will showcase Eddie Brock, NOT Venom. (Or at least until the end) Kind of like how the next Batman movie will showcase Harvey Dent, NOT Two-Face.

Now, I know that there are a couple different orgins of the symbiote, my favorite being that John Jameson (Son of JJJ) brings it back with him on a space rock from outer space, and it latches onto Peter and he ends up rejecting it, to which it finds a new host on discraced reporter Eddie Brock. (This will probably be a sub-plot for Spiderman 3) Now, the whole "John Jameson going to space" thing was already established in Spiderman 2, so it seems very probable that they will introduce the symbiote that way.

[AngelDust06]

This looks like a teaser poster. Im almost 90% sure this will be the official teaser poster for the upcoming film...Looks fucking awsome!

[BigRedNeck]

Looks good

[Jas]

Oh come one! Sure it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look great, or bitching. IT's just painted black! That had to have been the easiest job ever! I would have liked to see them CHANGE it to resemble the symbiote costume, but no, let's just spray it black.
This is an EXCLUSIVE?! I would have gotten the exact same fucking thing by taking a pic of Spidey and painting it black in Adobe Paint!


........I don't like it.

[darkface]

Has anyone even officially said it was a black suit? I mean yes it's not black and white, but they make it appear dark, it's a neat style how they colored it with filters, IMO not knowing much about the picture, is it's the regular spiderman suit just made to look kickass at night for a teaser poster.

And if someone else wants to prove me wrong, then please show me the proof.

It's say black suit. So unless you want to argue with Sony...

Well yeah, obviously it's the regular suit, but it's photoshopped. Read my original post above on my theory. But it is a black suit, even Sony confirms it, and I don't need their support to prove it's a black suit myself. It's just that any colored suit would still show colors in the dark. This one doesn't, at all.

[Cronos]

[Harry Warden]

How do you guys think Venom will look like?

[oneBIRDwire]

it seems like they're getting sloppy. the film will be great, like the previous ones, but with a budget like they have why not hire a creative team to make something great. the black suit in the comic was and still is awesome. i wish they could have made something in between and not just make his old costum black.

[CyclicNightmare]

Thanks, but it was a joke, seeing as the pic simply looks like the current costume painted black.

I don't like how this "black suit" looks. I hope Venom doesn't look like that.

Pretty decent poster, but I'm going to have to agree that it does look a bit too much like the "Spider-Armor" suit from the mid 90's than what the symbiote suit really should look like.

[Harry Warden]

Even IF it is the symbiote who says its going to STAY that way.

One of the scoopers said something like 'dont worry, it wont be like that for long'.

Maybe as the suit gets its hold on Spidey it begins to change. To develop its own personality. Which is one of the clues that makes Peter ditch it.

[Danger^Cart]

Ok, from an avid comic reader, I happen to think it looks awesome. You all need to stop complaining about how it doesnt look EXACTLY like it does in the comics. Has anything else? Let's not forget everyone, that the symbiote is supposed to mimic the suit based on Peter's thoughts, so....wouldn't it make sense to have a black version of the old suit? Just becuase the web patters look plastic, doesn't mean they actually ARE plastic. If the symbiote can mimic all forms of regular clothing, it can mimic some basic web patterns.

As previously stated, I think it looks Bitchin.

[Digifruitella]

Ok.

let me make something clear for everyone. First, we all know this is a black suit, what we don't know for sure is; Is Venom in the movie.

Now, this poster was created the way it is created for one thing, to get people to speculate if Venom is in the movie. Instead of flat out SLAPPING the symbiote suit right in that poster and making it clear for everyone that "Hey, Venom is in Spidey 3" they went with that approach, which was to simply darken the original suit. For average people it might not make any difference, because they'll just see it as "Cool poster" but maybe, maybe for hardcore fans, it will get everyone to speculate on Venom being in Spidey 3. Now, myself I have no doubt Venom will be in one way or another in the movie. I may be wrong, but I stand corrected.

Something everyone should understand, this is a strategy they're using. If Venom is in Spiderman 3, they will reveal the costume IN the movie, instead of on SOME POSTER! Think people. This isn't the end of the world, you just gotta put your brain to work.

[OpT!Mu5]

where is this written online?

It's common sense. Venom doesn't just pop out of nowhere, and Sam is going to establish Eddie brock throughout the film, so that Venom can be set up for the next one. Sandman is going to be the main villain in Spiderman 3, not Venom. And who knows if Harry will don the green goblin suit as well...That's my PREDICTION...Venom will have the starring role for Spiderman 4, if it ever gets made, whether Sam does it or not. Like I said above...

No. It doesnt have to look exactly like the Marvel Comics version of the black suit, but one would think that it should be a bit more inspired than this. Yes, I suppose it does look pretty cool. But then again, the suit does look ALOT like the old "Spider-Armor" costume that appeared in Marvel Comics during the mid 90's as well. MUCH, much more than the comic book version of the alien symbiote costume, IMHO. Admittedly, I was expecting something better than this. But we'll see. If the rumor about this "not being in the film for that long" is true, then that would be great. I could see the symbiote mimicking the regular Spidey suit at first, but then by the end of the film, a more realized and definitive version would appear that would give us even more of a nod of who/what to expect in the next installment.

[ElderPredator]

Bitchin is definitely the word for this new poster. I'm so happy now and am so excited to see it.

[ElderPredator]

Can anyone make out the image in his eye on the image? Looks like something.

Looks like a regular reflection.

Yeah, I suppose so. It's just that Sony is known to put reflections in Spider-Man's eye on each teaser poster for each movie. Very cool anyway!

That would be a smart play; as the symbiote grows more and more independent, so does its look. It would really emphasise the fact that the symbiote is its own singular entity, expressing such dangers as free thought and desire.

This flick is going to be Kick-Butt to the max!

I'm so fucking excited now.

[rilocay]

The suit grows on me, i liek it alot more now then when i first saw it, because one image cant show the suit how it will be on screen and whatnot, but yeh it could of been more liek the original suit...and again, theys houdl have made the eyes more symbiotic, to show more expression, sureit'd mean more cgi but the eyes convey so much.

[lion-o]

gotta admit its pretty cool costume.

I don't like how this "black suit" looks. I hope Venom doesn't look like that.

Other than the obvious similiarity in color coordination, I really don't see the comparison. Actually, I'll take it a step farther, and say they look nothing alike.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

After observation... The reflection is revealed to be:

DA DA DA!!!

His arm. At least that's how it looks to me. And that's after resizing it about 5x and taking the blur off a bit.

[Shockwave]

Looks like its just grey shading like the rest of the poster to make it look like a somber movie.

Maybe if the rest of the poster wasnt the same color...

If it is the black suit, i wonder why its just a dark version of his current suit, and not the real black suit worn in the comics.


..of course, what will probably happen in my opinion is that hell have to fight Sand-man and Electro, and the suit will be a specialy made one that will help protect him from the harmful elements.:cool:

[CMAGUS]

***edit**

[Tyler_Durden_208]

I think it's more just a preliminary suit OR that, like another poster said, that the symbiote suit will evolve.

[OpT!Mu5]

The image in his eye looks to me like the initials "D.R." or "O.R." It's hard to tell, but I doubt that it has any meaning, It's likely that it could just be that artist's initials who photoshopped the image, or something like that...That's my best guess. It could also be nothing.

[Dee93]

The costume has grown on me already, BUT i think that it would be a damn shame of they don't include the white spider on the chest and back. That's a huge part of that suit, huge. C'mon Sam, don't let the young comic geek that lives inside of all of us down.

[Shockwave]

I stil say its either shading, or just a costume to protect him from sand and electricity.

If that is the venom costume, i like it about as much as the bland solid green goblin costume.:)

I think it makes the most sense for the movie to go with the Ultimate Spider-man version of Venom. It's the least "out there", no alien stuff to delve into. It also has a skinny kid (like Topher Grace is) becoming a large force when bonded with the suit. I hope the picture isn't a picture of Venom, as someone suggested, Venom needs to be large, not just a black spider-man.

On a side note, i can't believe how geeked-out i am over this picture. my comic fanboy side is really taking over and stressing me out. Venom is such a huge part of Spider-man lore that i can't bear the thought of it handled poorly.

Was there anyone that DIDN'T see that when the pic was first released. I saw it before I even looked over the rest of the poster. I know Sony has a thing for putting things in Spidey's eye, so I saw it. I think it's more of a tease and not REALLY the goblin, but I think it was the art department having fun.

[AngelDust06]

wow....godd observation... I never even observed it.

[someguy]

Not up to snuff on the SM3 stuff, but is this new?

http://x11.putfile.com/2/4402592937.gif

[The Heart Collector]

That's fake. The first venom clip is from Underworld, the sand is from The Mummy, and the second venom clip is from Spawn.

[Sigur509]

Terrible.

[someguy]

Haha, that's funny since when I watched it I had this feeling like I've seen it before somewhere.

I don't like the SM films and haven't been paying attention to the buzz on the third so I thought that maybe it was an actual exclusive. Still a pretty decent fake though.

Now thats a fucking symbiote costume!

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Good work. Even if the "dimples" still do make it look a bit unlike the symbiote costume, it still looks fucking awesome.

[Danger^Cart]

Did you shop that Halloween? If so, excellent work, if not, where'd you get it?

[gspawn]

I think a lot of people can't put together that the black costume is SUPPOSED to have the 3d webbing this time. When the symbiote origionally bonded with Peter Parker, it basically just made a black-and-white version of his suit. That suit didn't have the 3d webbing. The new one does. Ta-da?

I still prefer the old non-3d suit, as many people do, but technically the black costume is correct for the new movie.

[Patrick Bateman]

Originally posted by Tyler_Durden_208

The 'dimples' are basically just a slight design difference, which in turn allows it stand out on it's own. Kinda like the slight alterations made to the spidey suit itself.
I assume that rather than just making an exact copy of the Marvel Comics symbiote costume, the person who photoshopped this simply decided to add a slight alteration to what we are already familiar with, and to help differentiate it between the comic book version, and a fully realized film version.

Basically, it's just a much more faithful version of the symbiote costume. And hopefully something like this will atleast be seen near the ending credits of the film.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Well, I was just commenting on that the 'dimples' do make it stand out, I admire it for the way it stays close to the suit from the first two, but also is true to the comic book version.

[Patrick Bateman]

I agree, and I apoligize for the misinterpretation on my part.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Nah, it's ok, I need to learn to make myself clearer anyway:p

People are seein wahtver they want to. Let us not forget the Anakin-Cape fiasco.

Its his costume peolpe. They dont put reflections n the TEASERS.

[the clever guy]

this is my first post on this thread and i'm just gonna say that dead halloween...whether you photoshopped that poster or got it from another site....is the baddest mother on this thread for bringing something more faithful to the table. don't get me wrong, the "real" poster is pretty cool, but dead halloween used his poker face and pulled a royal flush on all of us. i think spider-man is almost going to be like x-3....way too many fuckin people in it. for those of us that aren't too familiar and don't want too much given away i figured i'de throw this in before i begin my rant...POSSIBLE SPOILERS/RUMORS LAY AHEAD.....
1. gwen stacy.....ok, i know i'm like everyone else and is very confused and/or pissed off by this that they decide to bring this out NOW. after all of the shit thats been going on in peters and mary janes life that compares to clark and lana from smallville, why did they have to throw this down? gwen should have been thrown in the 1st flick and been killed off (like in the comics...unless i'm wrong and it was the 2nd green goblin, but i'm pretty sure it was the first). and then we could have started with mary jane in the 2nd movie and and continued with what was in the 2nd movie into the 3rd...it makes sense. gwen stacy was peters first love (that he actually got to be with), so why do this to us now? granted the actress is hot and all, but her death should be violent to repay us for screw-up that is hollywood. but if the rumors are true with the symbiote costume, i have a feeling that when gwen dies, spidey goes apeshit when he has the costume (possibly the costume had something to do with her death) and loses it on how ever many villians there are, which brings me to...
2. having too many possible villians this time around. green goblin 2.0, venom (not official), sandman, possibly elektro (again, as far as i know, not official), and if you count the symbiote costume...himself. thats a total of 5 possible villians thrown into 1 flick (i know, i can count)! even 3 is enough. my comparison earlier to x-3 makes sense...they're throwing everyone and their mother into the mix. pretty soon we're gonna have maximum carnage on our hands which at that point the movie will HAVE to be extremely long, if not at least 2 parts, and have a possible 'r' rating....but i'm sure hollywood can manage to kill it down to 'pg-13.' not to mention the biggest casting call and budget hollywood has ever seen.
3. bringing the symbiote costume into play means bringing maximum carnage into play (see #2) which means bringing seperation anxiety into play (corrolates with #2). 'nuff said there.
4. one last thing....when are they gonna bring in ben riley? y'know, the "real" peter parker? this would introduce us to the jackal....try bringing that transformation to screen...who knows, maybe he'll also get a dandy military suit like the green goblin....
once again, these are only my speculations and opinions. if anyone get pissed off b/c i revealed something to them that they didn't know...well, you should have heeded the warning so thats your own damn fault.

[partywagon2003]

I've read everyone's arguments back and forth on this subject and I can't help but wonder if this isn't just a symbolic take on the journey Spiderman/Peter Parker will be taking in this movie. We already know Gwen Stacey is in this film and we all know what happens to her in the comics. And if they decide to kill Gwen off, maybe Peter is feeling so guilty, hence this shot of him looking so lost and broken. I don't know. The rain, the background, the whole coloring of the image makes me think this isn't necessarily the costume he will be wearing in the movie so much as a sign of what's to come for the character.

[Zman4916]

I have seen everyone's opinion of what it looks like in Spideys eye and have my own view of what it looks like to me. Looking at my DVD's, on the side of the cases they all focus on his eye and in the first, it is clearly a reflection of the Goblin and the second one it is a reflection of Doc Ock. Well, the more I look at it, as well as following the suit of his eye reflecting a villain of the movie, I am totally seeing Venom. The picture/poster of Spidey in the black suit has him in the rain kinda looking down below himself. It looks to me that, when you look in his eye, there is a reflection of Venom looking up at him. It looks to me that you can see Venom's eye (black) surrounded by the white in his face as well as his mouth being open and a light reflection of what seems to be his tongue coming out of his mouth. I may be crazy, but thats what it looks like to me when I see the pic.

Really?

http://www.cinekolossal.com/2/s/spiderman/poster.jpg

http://www.efavata.com/CBM/images/spiderman2_finalposter.jpg

Can we put this arguement to rest? Theres nothing in his eye. The teaser posters have NEVER given away the villian in the eye. You're all just going Anakin's Cape on us and finding Jar Jar Binks ni the folds.

[Zman4916]

I said that I was looking at past DVD cases, not teaser posters. Granted, DVD cases have nothing significant to hide on them (in Spideys eyes) since everyone knows the villain of the movie when the DVD is released. I was just putting my opinion out there to be judged, as it was rightfully so.

[Danger^Cart]

^^
He was referring to DVD covers, not promo posters. ;)

I was pondering things today...as I sometimes do....and I got to thinking, if they do indeed have a little Venom Vs. Spidey action, and even if they don't it will definetely be in the 4th installment, how do you suppose they'll go about showing Venom's effect on Spidey's Spider-Sense?

I think this will be a bigger factor, and get more recognition than people might think. As seen in the previous films, Raimi has done a wonderful job of showcasing ALL of Spidey's powers, such as the the subtle S-Sense, instead of just focusing on the obvious main ones. I think it will be a very kodac moment when Spidey, who in the previous films has relied HEAVILY on his S-Sense, realizes that its utterly useless whilst engaged in combat with Venom.

So, this begs the question, how will they fill in the less-than-saavy audience members on this return to neutral. I wonder, although this is doubtful, if Raimi will simply have Parker go, "whoa, I can't sense this guy, what the foy is up with this shoy." Or if he'll take a more tactful approach to the subject.

I would like to see it go down like this: Spidey has just confronted the mostrous villain for the first time, and after a short period of shock, has got his head in the game, and is engaging Venom head on. Venom gains the upper hand, and oh I dont know, pulls a shot-put on Spidey and hurls him through one side of a building and clear out the other. Spidey shakily gets to his feet and survey's the area, noticing that the big black baddie is nowhere in sight. We go into Spider-Sense mode, and zoom in on a few shocked pedestrians, some cars...shit maybe an ant or something in slow motion, the camera slowly revolving around spiderman. However, when it starts to revolve around towards his back, his vision grows blurry and eventually cuts out altogether. Exit Spider-Sense, mode, and we, the audience, are treated to a floor shot looking up behind Spidey, where Venom is attached over our heroes head, drooling over his prey.

This is how I would like to see the introduction of one of the Symbiote's uniquely personal powers, as I feel it will give a strong sense of desperation to the viewer, on Spidey's behalf.

As you can see, I think about this film a lot, and I'm super fucking psyched.

I would like to see it go down like this: Spidey has just confronted the mostrous villain for the first time, and after a short period of shock, has got his head in the game, and is engaging Venom head on. Venom gains the upper hand, and oh I dont know, pulls a shot-put on Spidey and hurls him through one side of a building and clear out the other. Spidey shakily gets to his feet and survey's the area, noticing that the big black baddie is nowhere in sight. We go into Spider-Sense mode, and zoom in on a few shocked pedestrians, some cars...shit maybe an ant or something in slow motion, the camera slowly revolving around spiderman. However, when it starts to revolve around towards his back, his vision grows blurry and eventually cuts out altogether.

I like that idea Danger. Really cool. To make it even more effective, they could have Venom completely concealed by shadows on the roof. As the camera dollys down to floor level and pans up, Venom slowly emerges from the shadows above Spidey. Nice!

Thanks, hopefully it will go down something like that. And your right about the shadow idea, that would add some extra spectacle to it, no doubt. Judging Raimi, I forsee their first epic showdown taking place at night anyhow. We can only hope its not pooring down rain as well, because that would be more than a little cliche (Matrix, anyone?).

I think this how Gwen Stacey will figure into this installment:

Peter Parker and Mary Jane have been together for a while and Peter's life as Spider-man is beginning to have an effect on Mary Jane. Their relationship is straining. Enter the character of Gwen Stacey.

Peter and Mary Jane break up and he eventually becomes romantically involved with Gwen Stacey. Gwen ends up dying like she does in the comics and this forces Peter to realise that you shouldn't take a relationship for granted and this makes Peter get back with Mary Jane.

dually noted....that sounds like it might actually be able to work.....might ...other than that, i don't see any other way to get that story intertwined in the movie.

Raimi could grow some balls and shock everyone by killing off MJ instead, reversing what we expect. I like it because it sort of echoes the shock readers had when Gwen Stacy died in the comics, and no one really likes Dunst anyway, and she's looknig to leave the series anyway.

Well obviously you expect it, so you have to assume that atleast a few other hundred thousand people expect it, so he wouldn't be reversing shit! :p

I just finished watching Spiderman: The Venom Saga on DVD. Now this is just an idea that popped into my head, but what if the official site has been fooling everyone all along about the villains?

What if Church is playing Brock and Topher is playing Kletus Kassidy. He has the voice and could probably pull off Kassidy's maniacle laugh.

But then again, I read somewhere that Grace dyed his hair blonde for this role, so that kind of blows this idea out of the water.

But it would be pretty cool.

Okay I'll shutup now.
