Hi-Res Version of Ender in the Battle Room

Last week we got a great new image of Ender Wiggin in the Battle Room, presumably it’s hisย first time in the Battle Room because he’s wearing a yellow helmet, which we’ve all guessed is the official Launchie uniform color.

Now thanks to a hi-res version of the image, we get a better view of the look on Graff’s face as he watches Ender hang on to the handholds outside the gate. He’s clearly smiling, or at least looking at him with admiration.

I didn’t comment much on this last week, but looking at this closer up, I do love the statement this image makes about the “technology” of Ender’s Game because Ender floats just a few feet away from Graff, who is clearly standing in a hallway with gravity.

Whether or not this is possible at all, I’ll leave up to the people who know science. I still think it lends some cool factor to the world they live in.

It’s also easier to see the flash suit (click for larger size):

    I agree with you…the gravity/null-G is one of the best things about this picture–although for those who haven’t read the book, I’m not sure that’s what comes across. For that reason alone I think this photo is just for us. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I dunno, I mean, in general it’s kind of weird to see someone floating around right by someone standing around!

    Can I be a heretic and say that the flash suit make the wearer look a bit like the’re wearing a diaper? I already suspected so when I saw the trailer (the shot where Ender is doint the sort of roll-flip with his guns floating beside him), but now it seems to be confirmed.
    I do love the suit otherwise, though, especially the shoulders and the helmet. The helmet reminds me a lot of the alien heads in Enemy Mine, so for me, it has an almost alien feel to it. (I know that modern bicycle helmets have a similar shape, but still…)

      LOL, you mean the lines on their butt? Great, now I can’t unsee it.
