that Snakeyes costume is some cheezy homemade outfit.. with the things they can do in movies these days.. there is need to worry.. he gonna look raw.. look at spiderman, x-men, fantastic 4...etc.. they can pull these things off perfectly today!

I prefer the original commando Snake-Eyes but if they get the character right it doesn't matter which version they do. I'll be really disappointed if he talks which I bet they'll end up doing those Hollywood stooges.

Other than the mask, Snake's actual original outfit, and most of the susequent versions aren't that farfetched to create for a real world version. Heck most of the Joes outfits are basic military uniforms and gear, so there shouldn't be a problem with realizing any of them. Cobra on the other hand is all fantasy costumes.

i agree with darth paul. snake eyes would be relatively easy.

inspiration? look no further than 25th anniversary v2 snake eyes.
heck, i have about 60% of a snake eyes costume at home right now. black BDU pants, black longsleeve shirt, web belt, dropleg holster, combat boots, gloves, hood/balaclava...
all i need is the visor and a sword. maybe a bandolier,(or tac-vest?) and airsoft UZI?
hmm...
i just got next years halloween costume sorted! thanks guys! hahahaha!

so if i can do it, i'm sure hollywood can pull it off.

that costume looks silly because it attempts to make a realistic outfit out of a fantastical type design. I think SE's can work live action with a more subdued visor, but a more skin tight, super hero type uniform. remember, this design will not only have to look good on screen but sell toys as well.

they are definitely about making money!...that's the only reason this movie got green lit, for the profit making of the subsequent toys that will follow the movie...think about all the new lame transformers...
the merchandising is where the real money is at...did anyone see the speech Kevin Smith gave at a college about his draft of Superman having to have things incorporated into the script for toy purposes?...
don't get me wrong, I'm as excited as any fan for this movie, but believe you me, their not making it because they are big fans, sadly...

I agree. It depends on whether they make him more of a soldier or a ninja. In fact, they could really show him as both. His ninja gear could be more akin to everyday wear stuff, and then he 'gears up' to go into battle. I'd look a little more to the Splinter Cell games for a template of how to do it. Pretty simple design that is streamlined and effecient.
