Amazing! The 'Spider-Man' Reboot Gets an Official Title and Costume Reveal

The Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield

Today, Sony Pictures simultaneously announced the title of the upcoming Spider-Man reboot (now called 'The Amazing Spider-Man') while releasing a brand-new image of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. After several on-set images of Spider-Man in costume leaked, this first image of the full Spider-Man costume (mask on and all) looks pretty good.

Obviously the studio had been paying attention to all the chatter following the release of the last photo, using this one to come right out and say, "Yes, this version of Spider-Man will have web-shooters." Said shooters are the clear highlight of the image, which features Spidey crouched down, about to spit some webs out from his (we assume) homemade device, which was absent from Sam Raimi's trilogy because the director didn't think a teenager would be smart enough to piece something like that together.

Meanwhile, Spidey fans are already familiar with the title since it comes right from the comics, the first of which -- titled 'The Amazing Spider-Man' -- was launched back in March of 1963. Check out a larger image after the jump, and let us know what you think of both the new look and the new title.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' was filmed entirely in 3-D and will hit theaters July 3, 2012. Get more about the film from Moviefone.

In less positive 'Spidey' news, the Broadway show about the superhero was drubbed last week by top theater critics, well before the official March 15 opening.

And how do we know that's Andrew Garfield in the Spidey suit?

By Nico Toscani

I'm sure it's not. It wasn't Toby Maguire in the costume unless he had the mask off either.

Making the "web shooters" organic was one of the best things Sam Raimi added to the character. The idea that they're some kind of mechanical device has always seemed silly.

You mean it is sillier than a radioactive spider bite giving you superpowers? Glad you cleared that debate up.

By Polar Patrol

Agree, Nico. If a spider is going to give you superpowers, why not just include the web function as part of those powers? Having the kid create the shooters is just dumb when you already have the spider bite suspension of disbelief on your side.

Toby Maguire will always be the best Peter Parker to me. No rebooting required.
