WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Gadot, as she is now, isn't in good enough shape imo. I'm just saying that she can reach what would be considered acceptable for the Wonder Woman role.

The problem, as I see it, is that most of the time, comic artists draw women as quite curvy and buxom. That's the standard for beauty in comics. Yet in Hollywood (and in a lot of other "celebrity" circles), being skinny is what's desired more often than not.

They need to find a compromise, which I think they can do.

I think her lower body has improved a lot. Her upper body is what needs work.

Her hips do look better, I agree. They were awful in the Fast movies.

Don't be staring at my girl, PR! 😠

Gal has been an instructor in workouts. She is toned and has been in shape. She isn't scary skinny. She's in better shape and looks better than Zoe, who is playing Gamora.

Are you kidding me? Zoe clearly looks to have more meat on her bones in that picture than Gal. And she's even more bulked up than that as Gamora. I get your point but Gal doesn't look any better than Zoe.

Personally I like skinny petite women more than triple D and huge bottom women. I think Gal is hot as hell.
That being said I think that the role for wonder woman should have gone to someone else that could maybe look the part better. Again I think Gal is hot and i will enjoy watching her on screen, but I think the role should have gone to someone else. This is not how WW is portrayed on the comics. I mean even Jaime Alexander would have been better (even though she is also skinny).
Look at Topher Grace playing Eddie Brock , who in the comics is a big muscular guy. That was an awful casting choice , even if Topher had played the part of Eddie magnificently he still has/had the wrong look.
wb/dc is really dropping the ball on some of their casting choices no matter how well they perform their parts.
There is a certain "look" that these characters should have since there are decades of source material to go by.
Same for the johnny storm role fox chose. Its wrong not cause of his skin color , its because it goes against the source material so much.
Why reboot the Hulk in the future to be yellow instead of green? Change is good but not if it strays too much from the source.

Generally, whenever I see Zoe (movies and red carpet), she's skinny as hell to me. I dislike skinny women, BTW. Not my personal taste.

Maybe you guys' definition of "scary skinny" is different to mine.

Diana has been drawn to be pretty thin before. Gadot doesn't have to have 36dds and a fat ass to be a good Wonder Woman.

Or does she really?

i'm not saying she has to put on 100 lbs but what i am saying is that for her to be believable and to make fans happy she should at least gain some weight but to me gal gadot is very very skinny and for someone who is 5ft 9 she just doesn;t exude/give me any type of confidence that Diana is going to be done well..

Yeah well, the casting of Megan Gale is far behind us now. I just want her to be shown as nearly the same height as Supes & Bats at the very least, not a head below them.

agreed..

where exactly is this proof that she is some sort of an instructor.. where is this proof she is toned and in shape, not going by the pic i posted she isn't ..

She's getting in shape now and looks a lot better than her previous self. Are you blind?

Among her being in the IDF, she was also a fitness trainer.

I'd consider Zoe to be pretty skinny, tbh.

Oh she's skinny no doubt, but Gal is next level skinny.

Wonder Woman is a cultural icon. Gamora is relatively unknown.

I wouldn't say they're that far apart, personally.

And?

Comparing pics, the current Gal isn't skinnier than Zoe. She's bulked up. Just look at Gal's earlier pics to now.

BTW, here is the difference. This is the type of skinny I don't like, BTW. Same with Zoe.

And her now or more recent.

She's no Gina, of course, but she has gained some pounds.

Also, look at her arms before and now.

I don't give a shit about how taut her muscles are, which is the only thing lifting weights will do for you. Working out can't give you an ass, or ****, or curves. Gal has none of the above.

And you can see the taper on that dress, it's designed to accentuate her body as much as possible.

Anyway, I'm over it, personally. We're going to have a bony Wonder Woman. It's dumb, but not worth flipping the desk over.

She'll look good enough. Most of the actresses that people wanting to play WW would have been bony as well. Other than Gina, of course, but I wouldn't be confident in her.

you really don't think gadot, someone with military training, can't get in shape?.
yes I don't think she can put on 20lbs of muscle, her body shape won't really work. I appreciate them going with a relative unknown but someone with a sports backround would have been better, especially with that bulky Batman suit. that is just going to compound the problem, I also hope they can make Supes appear as large as Bruce atleast.
