'The Amazing Spider-Man' Suits that Could Have Been

Before I get too far into this article, I must profess my love for Spider-Man. From the cartoons (the 90’s one being the best), to the comics to the films, I’ve always enjoyed Spider-Man in any incarnation that we’ve seen him in and think him to be the ultimate superhero. Despite my bias towards the original three Spider-Man films which starred Toby Maguire, I was still excited to see Spider-Man back in action in The Amazing Spider-Man and yet despite all the love I have for the character, something about the film didn’t work for me. Andrew Garfield channeled a great Peter Parker and yet something was missing that to this day, I can’t pinpoint. However, one thing the film did nail was the costume design for Spidy. Like all great works of art, what was seen on screen was not the original design as Sony and company toyed with different variations of the Spidy suit. After the jump, you’ll find three suits that could have been for Spider-Man which surely would have changed the tone of the film.
