Fans attendingNew York Comic Conthis weekend will get to see the iconic costumes worn byBatman(Ben Affleck),Superman(Henry Cavill) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) on display, from the highly-anticipatedBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. If you can’t make it to NYCC this weekend,DC All Accesshas you covered, with this week’s episode showcasing the costume displays, plus an interview withBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicecostume designer Michael G. Wilkinson. The eight-minute video also features never-before-seen concept art for all three costumes.
Back in August, the costume designer teased that directorZack Snyderwanted to embed aKryptonianscript into the actualSupermancostume. While Michael G. Wilkinson wouldn’t say exactly what the quote is, he teased that, “it has to do with power and the responsibility of power.” As forBatman, Michael G. Wilkinson said thatZack Snyderwanted a whole new look for the Dark Knight, adding that the filmmaker was heavily influenced byFrank Miller’s graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns. WithGal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, the costume designer confirmed a long-standing rumor about this character.
“Well, you know, Diana is immortal, so she’s been around for a long time. She does have powers that are beyond human, so when we were creating our textures, we were referring to different metals that exist, but also creating new finishes of metals that might have this supernatural power to them. Hopefully we created something that’s original and eye-catching.”
In related news,Clay Enos, who worked as a still photographer onBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, released a new photo ofBen Affleckas Batman on hisTwitterpage. The image also offers a glimpse at the Batmobile in the background, as The Dark Knight gets ready for battle.
