Robin Hood's New Look?

USA Today has the first image of Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood film called "Nottingham." The image is cool, but what is confusing is the report says it is Robin Hood's new look. The official quote reads, "He doesn't have the old Robin Hood tights. He's got armor. He's very medieval. He looks, if anything, more like he did in Gladiator than anything we're used to seeing with Robin Hood." Um, sorry to burst their bubble, but Crowe's wardrobe pictured looks in the same vein as the Kevin Costner or Aero Flynn Robin Hood's. This doesn't look anything like a Gladiator. It could definately be that the studio is holding out on some of the gladiator-esque garb, because this images screams Men in Tights! Take a look at the photo below and you decide....

What say you? Does this say Gladiator to you? Will Scott's Nottingham be a bust at the box office? Strikeback...
