ComicBookMovie.com has some more set pictures from The Wolverine but the interesting thing about this is all the comments. A lot of complaints about the fact that Wolverine hasn’t been shown in costume/uniform. Why all the hate?
1) This is post X3 and apparently he was going to Japan for a funeral before all heck broke loose, I can totally see him not bothering to drag his leather get up especially if the X-Men might be completely disbanded by this point.
2) If it’s the yellow spandex they are talking about, yeah, even Stan Lee admitted (and I wish I had the link to it) that you can draw this stuff on characters, but not actually put it on real people. Truer words, folks, truer words. Sure, some of the costumes work out, I’ve seen some good cosplayers, but with some, no matter how much effort they put into it, it just comes out looking, well, stupid. And since you can’t have half a costumed team, the leather look is perfectly fine to me.
Oh, I will admit, the leather jacket with the yellow stripes from Origins… one of the best things about that movie. That’s how you pay homage to the original costumes, not by actually making them wear it.
