    Forget acting ability (though she could probably do a decent job), but we need this lady to play WW:

    Maria Wattel, 6’1″ in bare feet.

    Posted this link back in July, got lost in the posting shuffle so I thought I’d re-submit it again. B)

    While I think Stana Katic is an excellent choice for Wonder Woman, I think there might be another choice out there, in that of Missy Peregrym.

    Missy is indeed very pretty, but she’s only 5’6″ which is a bit short for my tastes. I don’t think you can feasibly get anyone under 5’9. if you do everyone will start throwing out all the names we’ve heard before. hallie berri, (which is dumb) jessica biel, (even dumber) the list goes on. No you need someone that it intimidating by height as well as muscularity. Missy would make a good artemis though. or one of the other amazons. Good article Alex. I think more than anything cinema suffers from a lack of the understanding of what makes good cinema, maybe if they bring in all the people who made the wonder woman animated film (which I own and is extremely good) then they’ll be able to make something happen. But from what I’ve seen, with the last 3 movies to come out from DC, they need to re-learn what makes a good movie. Green lantern sucked, Dark Knight rises I think sucked, but some of you might think was passable, and from what I hear superman got mixed reviews at best. And of course if you ignore the big hit of The Dark Knight (which while good, did have issues) you go back to catwoman which as I said before, sucked, and not because it was a female lead like the folks at DC will tell you, it sucked because it had a bad plot and bad directing. People apparently need to go back to film school and look at what makes a good movie before they add all the high tech CGI fluff. Go back and watch casablanca you tools, That movie has about 3 special effects in the entire film and yet its still exciting as hell.

    ok I’ll quit soapboxing.

    Why Don’t We Have A Wonder Woman Movie?

    http://entertainment.time.com/2013/08/30/why-dont-we-have-a-wonder-woman-movie/

    this article left out something very important
    &
    something we need to consider when throwing out names
    Princess Di has to be as tall as Bats OR Supes & needs to be prettier than Lois lane
    Solve those 2 issues & we can then worry about muscle mass;etc.

    Just read a press release that a speedster {aka The Flash} will be appearing on CW’s Arrow
    So this Justice League thing may all be a pipe dream

    Although I personally agree with this sentiment, we all know that it won’t happen.

    I think there are multiple complications with a WW feature film. While everyone vaguely knows who Wonder Woman is, some have kept up with DC faithfully, others think of the 1970’s tv reruns, others through the Timmverse. When you have an enduring character who has survived 70 years in print, as a standalone character and as JL member, frequently retconned, you have a lot of choices of where to take her in a movie. I’m hoping Warner just picks a mythology and runs with it. You can’t keep everybody happy, but you can make a fun flick.

    Disney has dug through the Marvel toybox and found hit gold, and Warner must feel like they’re tripping over their own feet. I’m sure they must want to build up to their own Justice league blockbuster, but they can’t do it without a strong WW entry. It would be disappointing if they whiff just because they can’t figure out how to make a principle female character.
