The first pictures of the new Robocop suit (above and below) have leaked from the set of MGM and director Jose Padilha’s remake starring Joel Kinnaman, which is currently shooting in Toronto. He looks less like the Robocop we remember than a guy going to a Daft Punk show inside a computer. A Daft Punk, future cyber-world motorcross rally, say. And let me be the first to say, “A BLACK Robocop?!” (*record scratch*)
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex’s life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before. [via ComingSoon]
There’s sure to be a tsunami of fanboy tears over this, but for MGM and Padilha, redesigning the Robocop suit is pretty much a lose-lose prospect. You’re either going to get “DUDE, THAT’S NOT ROBOCOP!” or “DUDE, YOU JUST RIPPED OFF THE ORIGINAL ROBOCOP!” I would argue that that’s a great reason not to remake Robocop in the first place, but no one ever listens to my white ass anyway. I guess we should be grateful it doesn’t have flames.
Between this and Dredd 3D (which is pretty good, actually), Juilliard is going to have to start offering Method Acting for the Mouth Actor, on how to convey emotions using only the bottom three inches of your face. “Stop using your eyes, Kevin! The artist thrives on limitation.”

well this is ermh, interesting, it takes balls to redesign such an iconic su- FUCK YOU MGM!!!
No kidding….cant wait to hear all the skrillex every time they cut to him walking….
All i know is you can’t hold a .50 caliber pistol with those thighs….and what he kept one real hand? what is there going to be a Empire Strikes back scene?
I’m guessing the hand, at least, is just the actor taking off a glove to pick his nose with or whatever.
In case you were wondering, the Red Bull is on the back on top of the built-in parachute case that blows apart to deploy whenever Robocop needs to base jump.
and of course, BOOT SNOWBOARD BRO
Ugh. It looks like Charlie Sheen in his ghost-racer getup from The Wraith. I’m having flashbacks of how Warner Bros ruined batman trying to sell toys.
I was going to say–it looks like the batsuit, sans the copyright infringement.
GRRR ARMOR-PLATED ABS!!!
I didn’t see your comment before I posted mine, I said the same thing.
This looks like the Iron Man armor and Bat suit fucked and conceived this bastard ass suit.
In summary: This looks like all body armor suits from the last two years mushed together to form the most generic thing possible.
It’s true.
The final battle is a dance off between Robocop and Kia’s giant hamster dance crew.
I have to admit, I hadn’t even thought about what he’d look like; just figured they’d go with the classic design. Harrumph. You fuckers are lucky Gary Oldman is in this.
Instant classic. Except for the suit, or movie.
H’mm, what about the gun?
Same gun, held sideways.
/Black Robocop
COTW for Larry.
Black Robocop would get a lot more done if the other cops didn’t “randomly” pull him over so often.
I’d buy that for a Bat-dollar.
Rather than going for a heavy clunk clunk sound when Brobocop stomps I hope the foley artists go for a squeaky rubber shoe sound.
Generic Sci-Fi Armor 4b
We said full-body prosthesis. Lose the hand.
That’s his wanking hand.
tis a little girly hand
My suggestion to the cast and crew of this upcoming film: “B*tches leave.” Spare yourselves the embarrassment of being connected to this movie.
He is black cause the armor is not finished yet. It’s a prototype, like Iron Man. It’s inspired by this wave of opaque black stickers that make cars look unpainted. They will add the metallic chrome further on.
Holy crap, it’s the Guyver! I smell lawsuit . . .

Shit I just said the same thing.. i need to start reading the comments before i post.

I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite Mass Effect armor rip-off on the Citidel.
Black Robocop. Another dark, humid night, another Monopoly shooting. Officer TyShawn JerDavis gets the call. A hail of gunfire greets him and brave but lazy Officer JerDavis is dead. But from his ashy ashes rises… Black Robocop.
::whirring robot gear sounds:: “I’m too legit to acquit punk, now stay in school or no more omni-corp food stamps for your baby mama”
“CUUUUT!” ::Padhila looks over pleadingly at MGM exec::
::MGM exec smiles, flicks his tail, and gestures at the forlorn director’s contract with his left hand while he slowly, uncomfortably slowly, strokes the tiny engorged member of a grinning, dead eyed Paul Ryan with his right::
This is fantastic.
I reallllyyyy hope thats just the shell and they have not added paint to it yet.
Tom Hardy took that “Method Acting for the Mouth Actor” course. Then he got the role of Bane and was all like, “Shee-it.”
His acting leshons musht be more shevere
Black Robocop patrols movie theaters to arrest shushers.
Eh, needs more nipples.
Looks somebody is working on Lego Batman. Just need to finish the cape and the mask.
Looks like someone in costuming was watching The Wraith and the The Guyver that week.
God damn affirmative action -says 1980s RoboCop
So this is a mashup of Batman and Tron?
The outfit also functions as the Oregon Ducks alternate home jersey
LOL! Right the FUCK on. All he needs is the big yellow “O”: on the side of his helmet.
I have no problem with the tactical, non-reflective black. It’s more a shame to me that he’s no longer Larger than Life. Now he’s human sized.
That’s what she said.
*sorry*
Yeah it’s a lot harder to hide his big gun in his leg now.
I’m just grateful they didn’t go the other way and make him all chrome with spinners.
RoboCop = poor man’s Judge Dredd.

Well said
Judging by the his stance I’m betting he’s not gonna move like Robocop either. Let’s face it, if he did people would just make “Step Up” or “Breakin 2; Electric Boogaloo” jokes, lol.
I AM THE LAW.
At least there’s still hope to get a fan campaign started for “Brop it, creep.”
Is that Raiden from MGS? I bet ED-209 looks like a Gekko.
