2) The New Suit
Speaking of things that are enjoyable to look at, RoboCop’s new suit is absolutely awesome. Along with the improved visuals comes a modern sleekness for the film, but from what we’ve seen in trailers and posters so far, it’s mostly just for the suit. Obviously one of the coolest parts of any robot is his shiny metallic exterior, and it looks like Padilha’s take on the character will not disappoint in that department.
The suit really looks fantastic. I’m not sure what OmniCorp made the robotic exoskeleton out of in this iteration, but whatever it is, it looks incredible. I’m almost inclined to compare it to Batman’s costume in the Dark Knight, but I have a feeling that RoboCop is packing something even more powerful than Kevlar.
On the note of Batman, how about that motorcycle? One look at the above image of RoboCop’s bike and it’s clear that inspiration has been drawn from some of the coolest rides in movie history. Between the suit and the motorcycle, this new RoboCop is working with some impressive equipment.
