    September 24, 2007 – Fanboys, prepare to wet yourselves: Jessica Biel is reportedly in talks to play Wonder Woman in director George Miller's live-action Justice League of America movie!

    According to Variety, "Potential deal marks the first piece of casting to emerge from the DC Comics-based ensemble project, which is expected to feature Superman, Batman, the Flash and Aquaman in addition to Wonder Woman."

    The trade contacted Warner Bros. who "declined comment, saying that it prefers to announce an entire cast rather than piecemeal deals."

    Yes, but it's already been stated neither he nor Brandon Routh, who starred in the new Superman movie, will reprise their roles in the JLA movie. Sorry. (not that I really cared about Brandon Routh playing Superman  😛 )

    I also realize that while editing the title I got it confused. It should read that she's in talks to star as Wonder Woman in the new JLA movie, but there's no option for me to edit my first post, sorry. I'm sure it's all Fett's fault

    As per your PM'd request, FlakBait, I corrected the thread title for you.  8)

    Can I ask one question?  Why is everybody discussing who should play Batman, Ratman, Matman etc? ???  For C*****'s sake; it looks as though WW might be played by THE sexy buff actress of her generation! 😮  It's a buff-chick fan's wet dream – we've got to get all the good karma we can behind this! 8)

    I think CPBell, the reason we are concerned who plays Batman, Superman, Flash, etc is because if they put a sexy, buff, gorgeous actress like Biel in the movie and they put horrid actors in the other roles then the movie loses all credibility.  We want this movie to succeed so that there is a chance to see sequels and more movies with buff sexy actresses.  It is very important who plays the other key roles.

    On a side note, I believe Mimi posted a last week or the week before that Tom Welling from Smallville is rumored to be set to play his Superman role, although his management company denies.  I think he makes a much better Superman than Routh does anyway (and I'm from Iowa, same as Routh.)http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/09/03/justice-league-of-america-movie-begins-casting-in-canada/

    I also just read that Ryan Reynolds might be playing the Flash.  If anyone saw Blade: Trinity they know that Reynolds could easily play a superhero and be comic relief at the same time.  Good pick.

    Ah, I see.  I thought that the nerd aspect had overtaken the essential "Bielissoooohooot" aspect. ;D  From what I saw of Blade Trinity, Reynolds is convincing.  Didn't see the most recent Superman film, so I cannot comment on Routh (sp?)  Interestingly, just as you mention being against Routh despite the fact that he's from your home state, I'm dead against the suggestions from readers of the article Lingster linked that Kate Beckinsale should be WW, despite the fact that she's British and I thought her dad was a brilliant comedy and straight actor.  She just doesn't make me think "Wow, Amazon!"; yes, she's pretty, but that isn't the point.  WW must be played by someone who's sexy in a sultry, exotic way, but, most importantly, IMO she must have a powerul physical presence.

    Of course, the best thing about this is that it gives Biel an excuse to hit the weights again.

    Exactly – she had to lose a fair chunk of that gorgeous beef for some of the lighter films she did such as the Chuck and Larry one, (how did Adam Sandler remain gentlemanly?) but now, we're looking (please, god) at Stealth-levels of muscle or possibly even something equal to Blade buffness. 8)
