Things are definitely starting to heat up as Zack Snyder’s BATMAN VS SUPERMAN nears its February start date for filming on the highly anticipated project. The MAN OF STEEL sequel is quite easily one of the most talked about films of the next few years, but when Superman and Batman finally meet on the big screen they certainly wont be alone.
It was enough of a shock to learn that the two iconic superheroes will grace the screen together but then we also learnt that not only will Ben Affleck portray the famous caped crusader, but they will also be joined by Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, The Flash and possibly another villain. Snyder certainly has a lot of characters to juggle in the jam-packed sequel but if the amazing WATCHMEN is anything to go by then he should do absolutely fine.
Now one of the most eagerly awaited elements of BATMAN VS SUPERMAN is how the costumes for Batman and Wonder Woman will end up looking. Costume designer Michael Wilkinson has worked with Snyder on 300, WATCHMEN and this years MAN OF STEEL, but he will also have the pleasure of designing the outfits for BATMAN VS SUPERMAN. Now in an interview with Wilkinson he has revealed that the costumes for the films heroes are almost complete, check out what he had to say below:
‘We are now in the stage where we’re refining our designs with the last series of camera tests and doing our final tweaks in preparation for shooting’.
One thing’s for sure, there’s no shortage of pressure in terms of the costumes that will be seen throughout the film. Ben Affleck’s Batman has to visually differentiate himself from Christian Bale’s Batman seen in Christopher Nolan’s DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY, and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman has to impress as the first modern interpretation of the character (hopefully with a less misogynistic outfit). The report also states that Wilkinson has made some ‘tweaks’ to Henry Cavill’s Superman’s outfit which will also be interesting.
