Eivion Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It wouldn't surprise if they chose to go that route. Harley wasn't even in the Suicide Squad until that version. Its why I hate her involvement as said version was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Not my favorite incarnation but I am hoping the Margot Robbie in booty shorts factor will kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Why CAN'T this film be out now? If it's so high quality, why not a Late November prestige release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There's probably still a fuckton of unfinished CGI that they have to put in. That stuff takes forever to do. But they'll still do early screenings with wire-frame fx shots and "shot missing" title cards, for test purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Honestly, Ben Affleck was the ONLY part of this movie that I expected to be good going in. So I'm not surprised to hear praise for his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I forget, Matt. Were you in the "I agree with what Cap did in Winter Soldier" camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Playing catch up and just saw this now. I was in the "I think Cap, as presented in the MCU, would have probably done that, yes." Which doesn't mean I necessarily agree with it as a pragmatist (though maybe as an idealist), or even that I think Steve Rodgers as he is currently portrayed in Marvel Comics would have done it. Just that I think Steve, as presented in the MCU, would have done it. That doesn't answer the spirit of your question, but it answers the way you put it. As for the spirit, I'll say that I am higher on First Avenger than Winter Soldier, and one of the few that seems to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I liked First Avenger far more than Winter Soldier. The parts of Winter Soldier involving Bucky were good to great. The spy stuff was incredibly cliche, imo (down to stopping the satellites at literally the last second. Just once, I want someone to defuse a bomb with 14 hours left on the timer). I was mostly bored by the SHIELD/Hydra parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 "The "only" part, I'm guessing he's in at least half the movie. I meant more specifically Affleck's portrayal as Batman. I'm one of the few people that thought he'd be fine from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I was more worried about how they would handle what seemed like a huge cast of characters but now that it appears it's mostly cameos, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interview with Michael Wilkinson, the costume designer for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.... People’s Choice: What did you enjoy about tackling the wardrobes for Batman v Superman?Michael Wilkinson: There’s nothing I like more than a challenge. I love to get outside my comfort zone and go to new creative places. Designing the costumes for Batman v Superman really allowed me to do this. It was an incredible 18 month experience with a costume department that at times swelled to 75 people. It is rare to have the opportunity to explore the visual world of a film in such depth, and I was accompanied on this journey by the world’s best costume experts. It’s a chapter of my life that I will never forget.What sort of research went into creating Batman and Wonder Woman’s looks?Wilkinson: To get ready to design the costumes for Batman v Superman, I really did my homework. I immersed myself in the long histories of these iconic characters — Superman [Henry Cavill], Batman [ben Affleck], and Wonder Woman [Gal Gadot]— 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.How are this film’s costumes different than what we’ve seen in previous films?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. 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. 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. Zack wanted our character to be a fierce and intimidating warrior — gritty, battle-scarred and immortal.Should fans look out for anything in particular when it comes to the costumes?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.What was Ben Affleck like at his first fitting? How did he react to the suit?From the moment Ben had the suit on in the first fitting he was hooked. He liked the way it made him feel – powerful and intimidating.What was it like collaborating with the rest of the all-star cast—Amy Adams, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa?The cast for the film were all amazing. Everyone was so excited to be working on such a cool, high-profile project. I wanted them all to look as impactful as possible. The fitting room was a very upbeat and inspiring environment.How involved was director Zack Snyder in the process? What sort of feedback would he give you?Zack was there at every step of the way — initial meetings, concept design, prototyping, fittings, camera tests. His energy and passion were phenomenal. It was the fifth film that we have done together, so by now we pretty much finish each other’s sentences!You previously worked on Man of Steel. How many of those costumes carried over to this film?Only the main superman costume. Everything else is new!Did anyone beg to keep a memento from the costume department?It was pretty hard to get Jason to get out of his Aquaman costume. It really became part of him. And Amy was rather attached to her winter coats and trenches.Where did the costumes go after filming ended?The hero suits begin a world-wide publicity tour in the next few months. They will be seen everywhere from Tokyo to L.A.What was the most challenging part of creating this film’s wardrobe?Trying to keep the stamina going for an 18-month project. Trying to make sure every decision I make is the most original one. Trying to make sure that I have put the maximum amount of passion and intelligence to every costume I put in front of the camera.What’s one thing that would surprise us about the film’s costumes?I think that most people would be surprised to hear that my approach to designing the costumes for Batman v Superman is similar to my approach on a film like American Hustle, even though the genres of the films are so different. I work out what ideas and mood I want to convey to the audience for each character, and aim to capture them using color, texture and silhouette. The choice of fabric and materials is absolutely crucial to my process. I always try to make bold, surprising, sophisticated choices when it comes to sourcing materials and using technology.Any particularly fun anecdotes or memories from set?I think I have to wait until closer to the film’s release to spill any beans. Ask me again next March!Are you lined up to work on any of the Justice League films?Again my lips are sealed. All I can say is that I am very excited about the year to come. http://blog.peopleschoice.com/2015/08/18/batman-v-superman-costumes-michael-wilkinson-interview/ Michael's done a brilliant job with the costumes especially Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
