Michael Wilkinson Discusses His Work On Batman V Superman Costumes

With so many things going on for Batman V Superman, Warner Bros. has taken time out to focus on the details of the costumes worn by DC’s Trinity. When the official suits released on several social media forums, it wasn’t clear enough for the fans to note down every detail made on the super suits, till they displayed it at various conventions including New York Comic Con. The designer, Michael Wilkinson, shared some secrets that were woven by him into these suits. He stated that it was his incredible 18-month experience working in the costume department. Michael Wilkinson also said that he and his team were obsessed with the process, noting every square inch to make them look incredible and took over a year to design each of the costumes.

Before designing the suits, he first researched the character’s looks from different comic books and games. He studied how Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman were portrayed over the last 75 years (Costume Jackets are available on Celebsclothing). He also worked on the latest materials that were never seen before and wanted to make these characters look more inspiring in a modern way for the fans to be impressed.

When it comes for the audience to look for anything shocking in the costumes, Michael Wilkinson worked on the Kryptonian writings on the outfits. Zack Snyder generated the idea about the Kryptonian Script on Superman’s suit and wanted to add the Greek Script on Wonder Woman’s weapons. He found the Kryptonian quotes fascinating and agreed that it will totally deal well with the character.

In the designer’s point of view, the Batman suit will be a lot different. The fans already have in mind that it is similar to the one from The Dark Knight Returns. Ben Affleck when wore the suit on the first try, it fit him good, and he liked it so much that he felt dominant and intimidating. Ben Affleck stated that he asked if he could keep the suit. The producers said yes, only if he pays $100,000. Affleck changed his mind and asked if he could take a picture instead. That was Ben Affleck’s high regards for the Bat-Suit.

While every outfit went smoothly, including Amy Adams being attached towards her winter apparels, there were difficulties faced by Jason Momoa regarding his Aquaman costume. It was hard for him to get out from it.

Michael Wilkinson was devoted to working on something that is high profile and filled with fantastic actors. There may be some possible chances for Michael to work on a project relating to the Justice League. So far, no news has been announced, but he’s definitely waiting for that chance to come.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago. The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes! This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead ! I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such! Side-effects due to application of a pain balm was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm. This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it give me rashes now, when I had used it...
