Nah, Smith is just too busy trying to force American audiences to love his son.

Such is the mantle of The Blacktor
The Pauli Exclusion Principle applies to black actors, too?
She definitely needs to put in a lot of work with Mark Twight to put some muscle on for this role. I'd like Wonder Woman in a movie to at least have a volleyball-player like build (being super ripped isn't realistic for Hollywood).
Haven't seen her act, but she's got a beautiful face and is tall enough (5-9) for the role.

Nice, she's fucking hot.
lol@ you guys. I'm sure Hollywood will find a way for her to gain weight.

I, like most of the general public, probably have barely any idea who she is.

I don't know who she is. She's definitely much thinner looking than I'd expect Wonder Woman to be, but she has time to bulk up. I'm not as pessimistic as seem to be about this movie, I'm really looking forward to it.

Lynn Collins is way too old to play Wonder Woman.

Because his roles in Malcolm X, The Hurricane, Glory, Training Day, Cry Freedom, Inside Man, Devil in the Blue Dress, Remember The Titans and He Got Game he plays the same character oh wait....
Hehe. I'll watch a movie consisting of Batman being a dick to Hal and Wally.

Don't they have mandatory service over there?
Anyways, not sure how this will pan out.
The Taking of Pelham 123
And a bunch of others. C'mon NTGYK. You're better than this.
Well, ya I have got nothing then.
Hopefully we'll be reading soon from an interview that she worked very hard to get the role and isn't just there to build name recognition and collect a pay check.

WB in close competition with Sony on how to fuck up your superhero movies.

It is.... but now I wonder if that was one of the reasons she go her FF role, since her character has the same back history.
Plus, it was two years of service. So what. She wasnt spec ops.

This should be the Superman/Wonder Woman fight scene

lol, Maybe, but I get the sense theyd play up the service just cause it sounds cool.
Man of Steel 2: Flaccid Voltage Flak
This time, the Man of Steel just can't get it up.

Trainwreck incoming. Not because of the casting. I like Gal Gadot. But after Nolan's Batman and the grim, overly realisticly bleak Man of Steel-verse they are going to introduce an Amazon daughter of Zeus (or explain that she's a golem whatever you like)from an island nobody discovered, give her a golden lasso that makes villains say the truth and let her fly around in her invisible plane.
Or.
They going to turn her in a sexy sidekicks that punches people in the nuts and has probably nothing really to do with Wonder Woman.
I am not going to miss this abomination, that's for sure. At least it's not going to blindside me like Man of Steel.

Brits don't count since we've also got Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Good to know GAF as usual has decided this movie will suck no matter what.
It was a train wreck when Batman was confirmed to be in it.
It a train wreck again now that all these new characters are confirmed.
EVERYTHING SUCKS AND WILL SUCK! No one has been able to introduce new characters in a single movie before! All characters need to have single stand alone movies or the audience will be sitting there scratching their heards!!!
Just like the Avengers was going to suck and was a train wreck...until it wasn't.

I'm going to guess that whatever WW backstory they're going with will be mostly distilled down to one or two short expository flashback scenes.

The most important question is whether or not we'll see the Lynda Carter spin-change into WW. If Gadot can't pull it off, I'll demand my money back directly from Snydely himself.
This is how it should go:
Batman and Superman go in to investigate some unknown vigilante (Wonder Woman) in Gotham. They split up, and Batman engages her first, getting his ass kicked. Superman shows in to get his boy's back, and he's all "Miss, you might want to calm down. We just have a few questions. You really don't want to get in a fight with m-" Before he finishes, Wonder Woman hip tosses him a couple yards.
Superman: She's strong.
Batman: ...I noticed.
