Im hoping for a more complete suit though and hopefully it will be shown in the film. But the industrial low tech look is very fresh and also could hint towards him been a villian to those who dont really know anything about the comics. Mickey Rourke is going to be superb and you know what? i think iron man 2 is gonna be a badass movie even if this is the finished suit. I love the look of this suit.

It could be that Rourke's character is taking on Tony Stark (also seen in race getup in recent pictures from the second film) without his Iron Man costume on? In which case there would be no need for a huge costume with tons of armor. If you are going to kill a man with a super powerful robotic suit whose identity is publicly known it is only smart to try and kill him when he is out of the suit. In which case this getup would be more than effective. Except if Stark pulls an Indiana Jones and just shoots him. Which, again, would be the only smart thing to do. =P Also if there is not a "He-Man" quip in the movie they will have really missed a good opportunity there.
