Spider-ball

What is up with this suit? Is it just me, or does it look like the costume department pieced this together out of poorly spray-painted remnants of busted up basketballs? It seriously looks like Spider-man is now sponsored by Nike.

I'm really weary of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-man, not that I have anything poor to say about the director or the choice of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield was great in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and The Social Network.) It's just that suit, the immediacy of re-franchising, and, frankly, the decision to cast Emma Stone as a blonde Gwen Stacy rather than the obvious Mary Jane.

I guess I should get the frustration out of my system so my indignation is atrophied when they decide to flip Batman in 2013.
