Could be a bit of both LA and CG in the picture. Suit, CG glow.
No matter- looks great to me.

And then the next photo will be who he is looking at in the factory.
Hulk scared.

Looks like plastic to me too. Or obvious CGI. Too clean and shiny.

I’m still trying to figure out if it’s real or CG. The reflection off of the gold portions of the suit looks a bit artificial to me, but the chest section looks quite real. Either way, looks good.

@Seth
Just out of interest, why aren’t you excited about this movie?

This picture is golden! Honestly I can’t say this movie will be better than TDK (which is one comparable at most), I mean TDK had Begins to back up its hype and fans.
Earlier info shows that the villain is Mandarin, but now people who saw the ComicCon footage are saying that the villain is Iron Monger. The Iron Monger is even in both trailers that are out, so the question is which one? (or if both, then how?)
I think in this one the main villain will be Iron Monger because of all the footage and info already out there, but don’t count Mandarin out of it. He could still be in it, maybe not as a villain but as an introduced character, then in its sequel bring him on full force.
Once again this picture looks great. After much scrutiny though, imho it does’nt look like a man Downey Jr’s size or any other adult could fit in there ( I don’t really mind). I also love that they made it look real without abandoning the comic book imagery’s roots.

Speaking of Robocop, i’d swear this picture was taken in Clarence Boddiker’s factory where he gets thrown through all that glass by Robo.

It is the same place, i’m sure of it:)

It looks very cool.

But it also looks more like plastic than iron.

The suit looks kinda CGI in that picture. Maybe it looks different in motion.

And I believe the villain in this picture is The Mandarin, Iron Man’s arch nemesis in the comics. He finds some alien rings that give him magic powers. I’m worried that we haven’t seen anything about him yet. I hope they take the time to develop the villain’s character.

A superhero movie is only as strong as it’s villain.
