Apr 8 2008First Look at 'Dragonball' Piccolo Costume
It's a good thing I'm some sort of Dragonball purist, having dismissed the series after one episode of constant screaming (both on and off screen). Otherwise I might be upset to see this film version of Piccolo's costume, which has replaced the sinewy alien-meets-Lawrence of Arabia look of the anime with this dark, Chronicles of Riddick-inspired muscle robe. I imagine this is what Batman's costume would have looked like had Bruce Wayne been raised wearing only Dockers pleated khakis.

I wont be able to resist watching this. And for that I really hope they don't completely butcher it.

Why is he black? Is that some sorta costume or a yet-to-be-painted body suit or is it gonna be CGed? The arms look weird, the torso looks like its not supposed to have clothes on and it looks like he's wearing pants.
I wish they'd release something soon. I'm beginning to get worried.

I actually really like the costume. I am a huge Dragonball fan so they could really stand around for two hours and I would love it.
It would be so dumb if they tried to mirror the manga exactly. I feel a little artistic interpretation is necessary.
I especially like how the suit mirror Piccolo's muscles in the manga, like the ridges in the arms.

I think it is like an armor or something. And remember, in this movie it is demon king piccolo, not the piccolo with the white and purple suit from DBZ
