"Batman vs. Superman" costume designer Michael Wilkinson assured the batsuit and Wonder Woman's garb will be "relevant" and "exciting" to DC fans today.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Wilkinson, who also designed the costumes for "American Hustle", dished the details about his role on set of the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel.
Check out what the designer had to EW below. "Batman vs. Superman" is slated to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.
Wilkinson on what fans can expect from "Batman vs. Superman" costumes for Wonder Woman and the Dark Knight:
"I'm not really at liberty to talk about the details of everything, but suffice to say we really respect the histories of all of these characters. We're all very reverent about the iconic graphic nature of these characters and their costumes. We see ourselves as part of the natural lineage of how these characters are being portrayed through out the ages and our goal is to create something relevant and exciting for today's audiences and something that works for this thrilling cinematic universe that our director Zack Snyder is creating."
When fans can expect to see the new "Man of Steel 2" costumes:
"Ooh! Our film just got pushed. It's now not being released until June or July 2016. I don't know. We're been having some interesting camera tests and photo shoots so far. I'm not exactly sure what dates we're going to get them released, but I'm sure Warner Bros. has it all worked out."
Wilkinson dishes on the research process needed to create the iconic looks:
"You really dive into the source material. We're looking at all of the different ways these characters have been portrayed over the ages. We're looking hard into Zack's script and working out what makes sense as far as telling the story - who these people really are and what they represent, how to make sense of them in today's world. It's an interesting, multilayered design challenge."
