Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson Talks Wonder Woman Costume In Batman vs. Superman


One of 2016 biggest question marks is without a doubt Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel sequel, the yet untitled Batman vs. Superman. So far the only thing that has been confirmed or is constantly being confirmed is the ever growing cast, and not much else.

In a recent interview to The Wrap, costume designer Michael Wilkinson talked about the Wonder Woman outfit, which he described has being a "thrilling and slightly scary prospect."

"It's so important to get her right. She really deserves to be presented on-screen in her full glory. So what I do is I look at the history of how the character has been presented on the big-screen, and the small-screen, and in comic books, and graphic novels. We process it all. Then we kind of put that aside and work out what is right for our film, for the cinematic universe that our director Zack Snyder is putting together. We try and create a Wonder Woman that's relevant for today's audiences."

We was then asked if he thought it would be realistic for Wonder Woman to be fighting crime in her outfit, i.e. high heels, miniskirt and top:

"Absolutely! I mean, you just have to look at the gladiators from ancient Rome, they did their thing in little loin clothes and shield….It works for Thor, it works for 300, so let's see what happens."

For me besides the obvious script and cast, what makes or breaks a superhero movie or tv series is the costume, because if not done right, it ends up being a Halloween costume.
