right off...the person in the below pics is NOT me. this is some Joe fan at some SW fan day, somewhere on the globe, this past weekend. it wasnt where i live, or i could be much more specific...
this costume is great, it really is. with my low-level costume making skills, and quite honestly my short, stocky frame, i wouldnt even attempt something like this. and before i ask the upcoming questions, understand, this is not a criticism of this costume...its fantastic....but.... can you honestly imagine this on the big screen? even a professional costume designer is going to have a problem with this. the degree to which this problem is will depend greatly on how entrenched the Joe movie is...either in reality or fantasy. if they go the fantasy route and stick closely to source material...us Joe fans will eat it up......but John Q. MovingGoingPublic will tear it up...seeing street fighter or megaforce revisited. if they go the reality route...us joe fans are left feeling shunned...and John Q. is left with a delta force remake...which with enough action will haul greatly at the BO, spawning reality based sequels. so, reality or fantasy? is there a middle ground? honest thoughts on if either can be successfully pulled off? me, i say go fantasy, stay with source as much as possible....that may kill the box office returns from most moviegoers, but i'll be happy....and isnt that what really matters? gung.heaux's happiness?

Yes Snake Eyes can work on the big screen. I have no doubt whatsoever. They will go the Daredevil route with his design. Now the mask will be integrated into the helmet. Should be a glorious geek nirvana. I would be more concerned about Destro...

Batman Begins was able to mix fantasy and reality well, IMO. His outfit wasn't silly looking and still harkened back to the comic Batman.
I would hope the Joe movie goes as well.

Depends on which Snake Eyes, will be in the movie Commando (version 1) or the Ninja(version 2). Like it was mentioned above, for the Commando version, I can see something like those guys Batman was fighting on the subway in Batman Begings or for the Ninja version, like the vamps in Blade 2, when they attacked Blade's compound. Or maybe get both versions in the film, Commando when he's doing something military related and the Ninja version for his encounter with Stormshadow.

I dont think a costume designer should have any problem with Snake-Eyes. He's a black-clad ninja with a mask... how hard can that be?
