Andrew Garfield might seem a bit scrawny to play a superhero — by today's body-builder-like standards, that is; I think he looks both fine and, you know, fiiine — but in his first official photo as Spider-man, he proves he's got the perfect look for everyone's favorite web-slinger. After all, Spider-man is supposed to be a geeky high schooler; that spider bite gave him super strength, not the body of Chris Evans:

I have to say, I'm really digging it. It doesn't have the same CGI sheen of Tobey Maguire's version, and actually looks like it might provide some protection from whatever's going to be thrown at Spidey this time around. (Of course, any kind of practicality is always undercut by the gaudiness of superhero costumes. But if you're a fan you've already inured yourself to that.)

So, what do you think? Has Mr. Garfield won you over, or are you still waiting for a trailer to make a judgment call?

He looks like a reject from the Twilight series.

still waiting for a trailer. Garfield is awesome in The Social Network and I'm sure he'll kick ass here. It's the creative team that inspires apprehension...Director, Marc Webb only other directing credit is 500 Days of Summer- YIKES! Having an appropriate last name shouldn't be the only qualification to direct a movie, if it were I would have changed my name to McIwanttodirectthenextspidermanmovie.

Zounds, another one! Get your hand off it Hollywood and find a healthy hobby. There may only be seven stories to tell in this world but you don't have to take that quite so literally. It must be like Groundhog Day working in some of these studios.

Definitely have to say I'm waiting for a trailer. Ever since The Dark Knight came out, I'm wanting something on par with it, or better.
