The American Hustle costume designer drops some hints about what he might have in store for Batman and Wonder Woman in Man of Steel 2.
For weeks now, there have been persistent rumors that some kind of Batman vs. Superman costume reveal is imminent. We already know that Ben Affleck has been in costume as Batman, and that some images have circulated among a select few. We also know that Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, although we haven't been quite clear about just how large her role might be. But now, according to American Hustle costume designer Michael Wilkinson, it's clear that we will indeed see Diana in "all her glory" on the big screen come 2016.
At the Academy Awards, here's what Wilkinson had to say:
"It's a thrilling and slightly scary prospect, of course. It's so important to get her right. She really deserves to be presented on screen in her full glory. So, what I'm doing, is I look at the history of how the character has been presented on the big screen, the small screen, and in comic books and graphic novels. We process it all, and then we put that aside and work out what is right for our film and the cinematic universe that our director, Zack Snyder, is putting together. We'll try and create a Wonder Woman that's relevant for today's audiences."
From the sound of this, we'll certainly get a recognizable Wonder Woman, likely with the kind of slightly muted color scheme and functional elements that we saw for Superman in Man of Steel, and that it looks like the folks in charge of The Flash TV series are taking with Grant Gustin's supersuit. It seems increasingly likely that we'll get our first look at Batman and Wonder Woman faily soon.
Mostly, we're just wondering if they'll finally put a yellow oval around Batman's bat again.

We also owe a hat-tip to Comic Book Resources for fist putting us on to this one!
