Costume designer Michael Wilkinson has shared the costume changes fans are set to see in Zack Snyder's upcoming DC Comics film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
In his interview with DC Entertainment, Wilkinson said he had made some adjustments to the costumes of superheroes Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in Snyder's forthcoming film. In fact, the costume designer also said that Snyder had given him the exact directions on what he wanted for the costumes.
According to Wilkinson, the Superman costume had been designed to look as if it had been produced outside the Earth. He said that Snyder had wanted the costume's texture to be far from what people could normally see, since it used the alien technology.
Wilkinson also mentioned the differences in Superman's belt, buckle, and insignia in his costume, in addition to a Kryptonian script embedded in the costume. For the costume designer, it would present both power and responsibility.
With regard to the Batman costume, Wilkinson said they had made a different variant of the suit, which would make the Dark Knight's built a lot bigger. He added that Batman's strength was neither from the armor nor from the gadgets, as he would look like a tower of muscle.
Meanwhile, Wilkinson explained that Wonder Woman's costume was set to show incredible power and strength, along with the grace and elegance of the Amazonian culture. He added that the suit should have a majestic touch, as the Amazonians' way of combat is "very disciplined." Also, the suit includes the lasso of truth, which had been perfected with the props department, as per Cinema Blend.
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are set to appear in Snyder's forthcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," which will lead to the rise of the superhero team Justice League. The film stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, and Amy Adams, among others.
Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to be aired in two separate teasers on Oct. 26 while the film is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on Mar. 25, 2016.
