'Batman v Superman' Spoilers News: Costume Designer Drops Details on Superhero Costumes
DC fans are all excited for 'Batman v Superman,' along with the cinematic universe director Zack Snyder plans on creating. While we've seen Superman already and some cool concept art of Batman and Aquaman, we are still uncertain how the rest of the superhero uniforms will look.
Costume designer Michael Wilkinson had the opportunity to sit down with Fashionista to discuss how he will be designing a lot of the costumes, and how he will be adapting Snyder's vision. He states:
"(Zack) really wants these characters to connect directly to our world. So if you were walking down the street and you came across Superman or Batman - of course it would be startling and powerful - but it could actually happen in our world rather than in a stylized version of our reality."
Wilkinson also speaks on the different take he will have on the Batman costume.
"That's actually one of the first things that Snyder mentioned to me in one of our initial meetings. It's a very important thing to Zack that the Batsuit would be comfortable and very flexible, but then would be able to perform in a very natural and forceful way. So a lot of incredible engineering went into the development of the new black cowl...It's no longer a designer just in his workroom pushing a costume out into the world and that's it. There's a real sense of a conversation and engaging in a dialogue about this stuff."
The designer also states that it will take 15 minutes for Cavill to get into his Superman costume, while it will take at least 25 minutes for Affleck's Batman costume.
"It does involve multiple costumers. It's not the sort of thing that I could just sit in Ben's trailer and he gets into it himself. It's a six-handed operation."
