Bright blue and yellow are going to inspire fear? Why does he need to inspire fear? He's not Batman.
Rogue's costume would be doable though. No argument there.

Clowns are scary. The wolverine mask is just silly.
He's producing and came up with the story along with another First Class writer.

Cause Logan was a weapon and was known as the X-Men's killer.
The mask inspired fear and let people know who they were dealing with.
You know, all of Logan's schtick to begin with?

So he's wearing the mask because he's the group's killer. Except he doesn't have a secret identity to protect and it doesn't protect his associates because everyone knows he works with them? Also it inspires fear and let's everyone know who he is even though he's a killer and wears the mask to protect his identity?
And all of this has what to do with the movies? What about the blue and yellow? Does movie Wolverine seem like the kind of guy to wear a mask to inspire fear in to battle?

it wouldn't make sense to introduce the mask as late as even the last wolverine movie. if people want the costume they're gonna have to wait for a reboot.
it would be weird if he just decided to hide his face all of a sudden. inspire fear? his claws do fine enough.

Photoshopped Rogue to green.
Perfect.
I was hoping for something awesome for the future / present day sentinel... and it looks fucking awesome! I'm really, really happy with that design. Bishop looks great. Colossus looks ace. All present day characters look fantastic. I'm not gonna get hung up on the appearances of the past characters, because these are some pretty badly made covers and it'll all undoubtedly look better during the film.
Well done, Singer. You have me! This is easily my most hyped movie. I want a new trailer with the future / present day sentinel blowing shit up!

Exactly. Dude already inspires fear by being a jacked, grizzled, unkillable, manly man, prone to berserker fits that has freaking blades that jut out of his fists. A mask that he consciously puts on takes it to a weird level that starts to make him seem like crazy person (In the real world).

Half of these character designs are just crap and the other half just look ok.
Bishop is pretty boss, though. Hope he gets a lot of "fucking people up" scenes.

oh just let it go, if they faithfully did wolverines full garb people would go apeshit seeing one of the most beloved heroes of the past 30 years on screen. Yellow and blue was just the xmen uni they could put him in the xforce black/grey / white, or his madripoor Brown , he has tons of variants to work from. People STILL trying to defend the costumes focus on one general theme of wolverines uniform but there are tons of variants that capture his iconic look, but alas his movie gear remains pants boots and a wife beater or a leather jacket. At least he wore the patch bomber jacket for like 20 mins in the first one....then i think mystique spinning reverse crescent axe kicked him in the face.....
Its not even about the jacket he wore so much gear in his books vol 1 run they could do both have him in regular clothes *not to mention his damn tuxedo FOX!!!* and his CIA gear which i ...guess wolverine...origins...and his Alpha Flight /Wolverine classic gear. They fuckin did Superman they can do Wolverine.
Bachalo is the definitive X-Men artist imo

Quicksilver look like the type of ninja to have dubstep playing when he's running
How does this say 'X-Men' to anyone? It doesn't even tell you anything about each of the people wearing them. They could change their clothes around with each other and it would still be the same thing.
I like it!
People will tell you that comic hero costumes "don't translate into movies" after we watched Marvel basically do just that and make one of the highest grossing films ever. Instead we get to watch them "translate", and the result is turning remarkable characters unremarkable at best, or whatever the fuck happened to Quicksilver at worst.

Ha, I was just thinking this exact same thing. You're never going to look at an X-men costume in this series and say "Oh, that's Wolverine's/Rogue's/Cyclops' suit!" So damned generic.

these costumes stink.
Mutants are NOT costumed superheroes.
Mutants are regular people who happen to have powers.
They clothes are similar enoght to know that they are on the same side and what diferentiates then are their FACES, since they are people =P
What? There are indeed superhero mutants, and there are also just regular mutants living in cities and shit.
And there are a few sewer mutants, but those belong on the animated series and Futurama only

For better or worse this is a direct continuation of Singer's X-men. You're going to get the same look as before even though Marvel has shown great costume translations that work.
Only way we'll get to see anything resembling the comics is with a series reboot.

Because Quicksilver is from the 70s and all the fashion horribleness that entails and Blink is from the future. She's also Asian which apparently gives her cart blanche to have a cool hair color.
Also Evan Peters is playing Quicksilver who must have gone to the same acting school as Jennifer Lawrence since they both always look amazingly bored regardless of the emotional state they're supposed to be projecting.

Scott Summers is a regular dude who teaches at a school for gifted youngsters
Now CYCLOPS is his superhero persona when he goes out to defeat evil!!
Why shouldn't he have a costume? You could also compromise by having them wear clothes with the color schemes of their suits. But all black? Ew!

Yup. The only one that works great is Colossus and still, they could give it a bit of color.
But the X-men ARE mutants and also ARE costumed superheroes

This is so bad it's fucking hilarious
The whole point is that the X-men have costumes in order to hide their identities. It's ridiculous for them to not have something concealing their faces. They have great reasons for doing it, something the movie has ignored. They're mutants. They're feared and hated which is why they have a school protecting them.

yeah, look at the four original X-Men:
not a single face is in plain sight. this is something that was lost when they added new members + redesigned them though.

Yeah people harp on the Yellow and black which was the group's color.
The X-Force costume would be fine and keep the core design in tact.

Exactly. Almost all of them have something that hides their identity.
Iceman covers his whole body in ice, Wolverine has the mask as does Cyclops, Colossus goes full steel body, Gambit has the partial mask + red/black eyes, etc.

And out of those Cyclops and Jean are killed off and Archangel is MIA. Brian and Fox totally screwed over the most popular and powerful Xmen members.

You're starting to mix up eras though. They haven't really bothered hiding identities for a LONG time. Mainly just the school for obvious reasons. For example, the Jim Lee era which is basically the definitive modern era X-Men prior to the movies thanks to the cartoon:
Not a lot of masks going on there (and no, I don't think covering the side of your face ala Gambit counts as a mask).
Now all this said, I'm not saying a reboot of X-Men couldn't use something closer to the original costumes, I'm just saying it has to be a reboot and given context because they don't and will never really make much sense in Singer-verse X-Men (minus First Class since it takes place in the 60s). You can't just throw them out there with the uniforms, they need to be explained and given a reason. All the MCU films have done this really well and get that.
Oh please, it can easily work in Singers universe. Why have a school to hide mutants if you're not trying to hide your mutant identity? Singer has screwed up in many ways but it's still very possible to introduce masks and costumes.
And yes Gambit still has a cover. His partial mask and eye's changing make him harder to recognize even if it's not a big thing. Him in normal clothes without all that looks different.
And it's not even a matter of era's. I'm bringing up that they had a reason to wear their costumes and the movies could easily use it.

Gambit's eyes are ALWAYS like that. They don't change. Also I do not consider headwear that literally hides none of your features a mask. He's not trying to hide his identity with that (it's publicly known in the comics). Neither is Jean Grey.
The only way masks and costumes work (specifically like people here are wanting where everyone gets something like the comic) is if they are literally going out with the express purpose of being superheroes. That's not something they ever did in the Singer-verse. They more or less kept to themselves, looked for more mutants to recruit, and fought enemy mutants when they had to. They're not out patrolling the rooftops looking for street crime. They're not out in the streets trying to be seen as flashy beacons of justice. In a reboot, they could, but them all of a sudden doing that in these movies would be a drastic shift. This is why even with some context (it's the future, things have gone to shit), the costumes for the future characters in DoFP look kind of cheesy even if they're mostly black. Maybe they'll explain it in the movie though.
