I'm really, really, really liking this photo:

This is a first released photo, and I'm thinking so far, so good.

Like many comics fans, I'm pretty much a purist when it comes to the on-screen portrayal of the heroes/villains. Marvel has taken heed to this in their movie renditions of character's costumes (thanks Stan!). Electra, DareDevil, Spider-Man, Hulk, the Fantastic Four, etc. have all made a pretty faithful effort to stay true to the original costume designs (with the exception of the X-Men series, but I totally understand Hugh Jackman's refusal to wear yellow spandex). A few additions here and there, such as the "overlayed" webbing on Spider-Man's outfit really enhanced the costume I feel. If you look at the posts below the photo of Thor in the article, there are many who are unhappy about the look of the outfit. Personally, I feel the character we see in the movie should be as close as possible to the character we see in the comics.

I wish the DC movies had done the same. I'm still pretty sore about what they did to Kal-El's uniform (it's NOT a costume!!!!) in Superman Returns. The Bat suit from Begins and The Dark Knight was way, way awesome, but I would have actually preferred to see the dark gray/black armor from the books. I can only hope they don't seriously damage Green Lantern's uniform in the upcoming Ryan Reynolds movie. Please don't mess up any more of my favorite characters.

(IF they ever do a Martian Manhunter flick.....)

Anyway, take a look at the photo, and say Hell Yeah! to the Mighty Thor!

And now, I'm off to eat cookies. Oreos, of course. Will get some posts up tonight or tomorrow.

That was shit and I have no idea what Spider-Man's doing right now.

I may put in a back-up post that suggests he's scarpered off somewhere to put on the armour Bats gave him, we'll see if I feel like it.
