It isn't going to happen...but I can still wish.
    That's what I envisioned when i did my tweaking, like plane stencils. I like the A, but hate the piping, and the shoulder pads, they would hinder a soldier more than help him, being they are strapped on, and attached at the belt. chain mailing is completely flexible in comparison.

        Looks like crap.....Basically it's Ultimate Cap. They should have stuck with the iconic costume....just modernize it slightly ala Bryan Hitch in Reborn....

                  I don't know why the movies feel like they have to run away from the traditional costumes.

                  Yeah, they are silly looking, but that's what you expect with a super hero. I almost thing the Nolan Batman movies go too far in trying to explain all of the gear. I really wish the creators of the films would do more work on the film's plots than trying to justify or explain away things or change them to make them more modern or realistic.

                  If they want to make a realistic movie, making a super hero action movie isn't the best choice. The costume is a convention of the genre.

                    If that is really the movie Cap's costume, I'll pass on the movie. Looks like IronKnight. Lame.

                      It's all remains to be seen.

                      If it's all put together well, the strict-canonical-comic-accurateness of a costume has not been a deal-breaker for a successful and well-received movie to date (Batman, for instance.)

                      Seriously, unless they put Cap in a Tu-tu, the costume is the least of our worries. Based on the pics in this thread, if they get the other stuff right, it could still be a good movie.

                          I keep thinking of THE ATOM everytime I look at that wingless cowl.

                            I think Christopher Reeve's Superman is proof that you can directly translate a costume from comics to screen, and have it work. That picture of Captain America looks like they're trying to split the difference between bright costume and military gear, and I don't think it works. He doesn't look like a mythic superhero. He looks like a fancy-pants soldier the other soldiers make fun of.

                              Funny The 1940's Cap movie couldn't get the suit right either and this was back in the day when the studios would get the costume right no matter how cheesy it looked......
                              He has no wings,No shield, the flag design is only in the front of the costume and he shoots a gun.........

                              Here's the trailer

                                Not bad, but I'm not all that excited either. But the helmet really does need wings. I can pretty much forgive the modern look of the suit, but no wings? That's like Batman with no bat on his chest
