The New Robocop Is Lookin’… Uh… Well…
 |
A few set photos has finally revealed the new look of the new rebooted Robocop, and… uh… well, to put it succinctly, it look like the Accelerator suit from G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and Batman’s suit from the Dark Knight films had a baby and then peed on it. I’m absolutely not saying that I expected — or even wanted — an update of the original outfit; I honestly think Robo looking the same would make the film even more superfluous than it already is. But this? This is the most generic, lackluster design I think they could have come up with. Robocop? Your first assignment: Punish those responsible for this crime… against fashion! (Live for Films)
