March 17, 2012: The Mythology of Superman's Costume in "Man of Steel"

Man of Steel There was a bit of SPOILER information for "Man of Steel" movie fans coming out of the 3-day 5D | Flux conference at USC (from the 5D Institute, the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and Autodesk), with costume designer Michael Wilkinson revealing the mythology of Superman's iconic "S" in the movie.

    Wilkinson explained that since they created a "neo-medieval" back story for Krypton (which included the creation of a new language), it made sense to utilize the suit design as part of the mythology. "Everyone on Krypton wears this suit," he suggested. Using ZBrush and rapid prototyping, Wilkinson came up the blue/gray color and chainmail look. "It has function and purpose and a logic to this fantastical world," he added.
