New Details on 'Batman vs. Superman' Costumes, Wonder Woman & More [SPOILERS]

For all the details about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, fans remain curious about the costumes in the film. Luckily, what we've seen so far looks promising, and costume designer Michael Wilkinson has now spoken to People's Choice about just how much research he did for the part, sharing new details on the characters' looks, including Wonder Woman. [SPOILERS to follow]

And it certainly sounds like he did all he could to respect the traditions of the characters.

"To get ready to design the costumes for Batman v. Superman, I really did my homework," he said. "I immersed myself in the long histories of these iconic characters. I studied how they have been portrayed over the last 75 years on film, on TV, in comic books, graphic novels and video games.

"I studied what they mean to people, what they stand for, why they are important. I started an exhaustive search for new materials and technologies — original ways of portraying these characters that would be unlike anything audiences have seen before. I wanted the costumes to help make the characters inspirational and relevant to modern audiences."

This is an important process because fans are always intently focused on the costumes of their favorite characters in comic book movies. The attire is one of the most dissected components of the film, and fans want to feel that the filmmakers are respecting the characters' history and origins.

Next, Wilkinson discussed the changes he made from Man of Steel to Batman vs. Superman, as well as his designs for the new Batsuit for Ben Affleck's character of Batman.

"We tweaked the Superman suit only slightly from our suit from Man of Steel. We streamlined plus sharpened the details of the costume a little to suit the more earthly (less alien) context of this film," he said. "The Batsuit is a complete 180 degree turn from the previous film incarnations — our Batman’s power comes from his incredible physical strength and fighting skills, not from armor. The director Zack Snyder wanted him to look as much like the comic book version as possible — to be respectful to the original source."

Finally, Wilkinson discussed Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman costume, whch he basically had to build from scratch because there has never been an incarnation of the Amazonian warrior in a live action film.

"As for the Wonder Woman suit, well she has never been seen in a film before, so there was nothing to compare it to! There is of course the costume from the TV show," he said. "Zack wanted our character to be a fierce and intimidating warrior — gritty, battle-scarred and immortal...Zack had a great idea to have some kryptonian script subliminally included in the details of the suit, so we made that happen. There is ancient Greek script on Wonder Woman’s weapons too. My favorite details of the batsuit are the brass knuckles on the gloves."
