Kiwi Togs For Justice Leaguers

Producer Barrie Osborne let the news slip that the New Zealand based WETA Workshop will be designing the costumes for the upcoming Justice League movie. Additional WETA Digital will be working on some of the digital effects, if they have time. While the costume part should lead to some awesome results (we can't wait to see what the new Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman costumes will look like), it's the "if they have time" for the digital effects part that alarms us.

The only tinkering that should be done is giving Supe back the black-and-red S shield from the original, original cartoons.

And you know, maybe a script.

I wonder how horrible they're going to make this.

@aspiringexpatriate: Pshaw. They can just recycle an old one like they did with Superman Returns.

I think "if they have time" means that if the effects can done at Weta along with all the other work they're doing (Avatar)...if not the VFX will go elsewhere...

Agree with OMG-Ponies. Retro is the way to go. Black Sheild with a brass looking 'S' for Supes... And for once in modern film-making, a grey and blue Batman costume for the love of all things holy!
