Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman. http://m.deadline.com/2013/12/newcomer-gal-gadot-set-for-wonder-woman-in-batman-vs-superman/
Well, she's pretty. So that's good. Doesn't look like she's ever been in a decent film. And we'll probably be able to say the same thing come 2015.
I'm sure they told her to put on some weight. She's got the action movie experience, and her English is...exotic. We shall see.
I just don't see introducing a new Batman, and the first big screen appearance of Wonder Woman in only the 2nd superman movie with presumably one or more new villains working that well. So much back story to cover. I suppose they could just ignore the backstories all together, but it certainly seems like they would be well served to have a new Batman and Wonder Woman movie prior to this one, and just make this the Justice League movie if you are going to have 3 or more heroes in it. Unless they are just going to be cameo appearances by batman and wonder woman to set them up for future movies, which certainly doesn't sound like the case at least for Batman. Good luck to them.
WB's thinking is to first introduce all of these characters together to jump start the JL movie. Depending on how these movies do then they will decide to give the other heroes their own movies. FYI, Barry Allen will make his debut on Arrow tonight on the CW.
If you are going to just put them all together in extensive roles, why not just make it the Justice League movie? Not short changing one or more of the characters who is going to have no prior introduction in this version of the Superman universe is going to be extremely difficult. Hopefully they pull it off like Marvel did with Avengers in a similarly difficult situation. Getting characters as wildly fluctuating in power levels as Hawkeye and Black Widow vs Thor or the Hulk to all have moments to shine was impressive. But they already set all of them up in prior movies, so we didn't have to be introduced to any new heroes or main villain background info really.
Big chance for Gal Gadot here landing that role. I liked her in the Fast series so happy she was able to get the role. What were some of you guys choices to play Wonderwoman?

Ba-da-BING! POW! BOOM! REP! Wait, wait. The woman from Fast and Furious? Very pretty, but I always pictured---usually with eyes closed and Kleenox "at hand" (juvenile chortle)---Mulher Maravilha as having more booticiousness than that.
Last nights arrow had The Flash in it, and he was very well received. Would be pretty awesome if they use the same actor for a cameo of Barry Allen!
I read somewhere WB might use the same actor if he was well received. That's great to hear. I'm still trying to finish season 1.
Bridget Regan or Jaime Alexander, both I feel would have been great with the former being the best possible fit. I liked Gal from FF but I'm basing my choice on the look of wonder woman.
