Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman casting, fan criticism, training, and more (video)

on Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman casting, fan criticism, training, and more (video)

For the first time since being cast as Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman, model/actress Gal Gadot has commented on landing the huge role. Gadot was interviewed on Good Evening with Gai Pines, the top entertainment show in Israel. She talked about the casting news, fan criticism, training, and more. The entire interview was conducted in Hebrew, but thanks to Batman News reader Maxim, we have a full transcript below.

Where were you when you heard the news that you'd been cast as Wonder Woman?

I was just on my way to shooting at LA. I landed at NY in a connection flight when my agent, Hadas Lichtenstein, called me. She says to me "Wonder Woman!" and I'm like "What??" - "The role is yours!...and it's a secret and the news are not yet announced and you can't tell anyone...". I'm saying to her "Are you serious??"- and we both scream! Now it's a plane from Israel to NY and I can't make loud noise, and so I lean on a window, bending down to my legs, and just try to understand. Long story short - I was totally alone in NY, I got to a hotel at 12am, I needed to wake up in the morning for shootings. I remember laying in the darkness by myself, staring at the ceiling, and I was telling myself "It's not real!"...it shouldn't be like that, I'm supposed to be like... "where's the champagne?".

It's been said that you're too skinny for the part. Wonder Woman is large-breasted, is that going to change?

Hmm. I represent the Wonder Woman of the new world. Breasts... anyone can buy for 9,000 shekels and everything is fine. By the way, Wonder Woman is Amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I'd really go "by the book"...it'd be problematic.

So you're not going to gain a little weight and start eating carbs before filming begins?

It's the physical preparations that I'm starting now. A very serious training regimen - Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, Brazilian...1,000 and 1 things...I'll gain body mass.

If you speak Hebrew and would like to see the video for yourself (and help add to the translation), check it out:

Big thanks once again to Batman News reader Maxim for the heads up, and for sending in the translation above. Maxim is a PC modder whose modding team has created a "Batman vs. Bane" mod for Wolfenstein 3D.

            If she looks anorexic
            she will never have the aesthetics to be Wonder Woman. And quite frankly as of now she looks like an attractive transvestite. After all it is
            Wonder WOMAN, not anorexic starving model NOT pre-pubescant woman. She
            has to have curves to represent a woman, after all that is what
            separates us from men, of course after we make it through puberty, which it looks like she skipped out on......and besides genitals which I hope we wont be seeing

            I am tired of weak looking women representing our sex, especially when it comes to superheros - which children look up to. I want my child to have a healthy image of her figure when she becomes a woman. I don't want her to think Gal is what women should look like. These comics are made to represent our morals and our standards. I hope the starving woman is not what American men look for when searching for a mother.

            Don't be so ignorant. Breasts are not what makes a woman a woman. I want you to say that to a breast cancer survivor who had a masectomy.

            In fact, I want you to say that to any small-breasted woman. Tell them that they're less of a woman because there is less fat around their mammary glands.

        Except it is not a historical fact, but rather a myth based on an incorrect assumption of the etymology of the word 'Amazon', where it was thought to derive from "a-mazos", or "without breast".

        Jesse Lioce

        It's also not believable if she remains skinny or just bulks up a little. She needs to start lifting weights and start a high cal diet. Wonder woman had the body of a ifbb pro miss olympia figure model and thats the body we demand. People don't want someone with the body of dj qualls to be superman now do they? Same principle. Don't care about her breasts bit she does need to be curvy and muscular like a real amazonian fighting beast that wonder woman is

          Take a close look at professional fighters, especially over-seas. They are not buff... they are slender.

          All that matters is believable fight scenes. If she has a jaw-dropping action sequence, you are going to forget all about her build.

            Man who cares how fighters look here in europe. Look at the drawing above, you call that slender? Can you find comics with a slender wonder woman? All the men needed to bulk up for their character so why shouldn't gadot? Hey why not get dj qualls to play superman as you said, it's believable if the fight sequence is good

            Yeah, DJ Qualls as Superman. That's how far you had to go for that brilliant argument, huh?

            Listen up.

            A real life Wonder Woman is the kind of Gal who is a beauty queen, an athletic trainer for the IDF, and an actress to boot.

            Keep drinking that hater-ade, it makes your tears that much sweeter.

            Real life? Were talking here about a comic book adaption with an alien, an amazone etc, there's nothing real life about it. Most fans don't care about real life, they want it as portrayed in the comics, how they know the characters. Enough with the nolanverse. He butchered the batman universe. Btw so someone who doesn't agree with the cast is instantly a hater? Ow great. I actually liked here in fast and furious so there. Guess what not everyone shares the same opinion on how WW should look like and last time i checked it's a free world so i'm entitled to mine. Again, i have nothing against gadot but you don't know how hard it is to bulk up clean weight with a frame like hers, it takes time, time she does not have. You cannot transform the body of a marathon runner into that of a sprinter just like that in less than a year. Fyi using the hater argument is just childish. How old are you? i have my opinion and you have yours, i like my WW buf, fit and athletic yet curvy, you like a skinny kind. Just leave it like that because this is futile.

            If she looks anorexic I am not going to see her as Wonder Woman. Because she will never have the aesthetics to be Wonder Woman. After all it is Wonder WOMAN, not anorexic starving model NOT pre-pubescant female. She has to have curves to represent a woman, after all that is what separates us from men...when we go through puberty of course.

    So thrilled we're getting Wonder Woman. It's a shame when she proves everyone wrong, the internet won't have the class to admit it. She's handling the attention and pressure very well. Everything so far has shown that she's the right pick.

      I hope you're right, I hope she does do well, and adds about 30 pounds of body and muscle in a year. cause right now she sounds bitchy and looks pitiful. Her face is about the only thing she's got.

    I understand they can add some muscle through her training like they did with Cavil, my concern is that her body type is so small and thin that adding mass won't change it much. I could care less about her breast size, how silly, but her body type and acting ability give me pause.

          That's not my logic at all. You can express your opinion all you want, but saying that someone can't do something based on nearly nothing is just dumb. Only that person knows what they can do since they're the one who's actually going to try. Your just some stranger online and you think you know what Gal Gadot is capable of as a person?

            We've all seen what she is capable of, and its not impressive. Terrible actress, less than attractive body...unless you are into men. They can find another fighter woman....with the actual body of a woman, not a child.

            It's not based on nothing. Thin people have trouble adding body mass because they generally have fast metabolism Plus their frames have trouble carrying the added weight. Someone like DJ Qualls is NEVER going to bulk up to superman size and this Gal is doubtful to do the same to portray WW.

        It's not that she can't in general, the fear is that she can't in the limites amount of time she has to bulk up. A year is really not that long to gain clean muscle weight. Also her starting point does not help her. You cannot transform the physique of a marathon runner into that of a sprinter from one year to the next same applies for a typical model physique transformed into an ifbb figure pro model. If you're into fitness and bb you know how hard it is to gain muscles in a limited amount of time

          I'm a NPC National Level Figure Competitor and you are right. It takes time to build the needed lean muscle mass. Females tend not to get bulky due to our low test levels compared to men. A year is pushing the limitations of her body. They may have to jump to desperate means. I do not promote the use of human growth hormones but many use when push comes to shove. I think she will be just fine. If she has the genetics to build muscle and lean out appropriately, she may pull off the Wonder Woman appearance. As for her acting abilities, that needs work too. She has a tough year ahead, but I think with hard word and determination. She might pull it off!

            Gal Gadot's been in what... 3 films that mainstream audiences have seen? She probably has had less than 15 minutes of screen time between those 3 films too. The point I'm making is that's a small ass sample size to judge any actor's ability to deliver a good performance.

            Also, you're the second person I've read on this message board that used "you must be gay" as an insult. Good job on being a giant asshole.

        A good example of what I was trying to get at is Zoe Saldana. Take a look at her frame in the movie Colombiana, She has the same type of body as Gal, and had worked out extensively for that role, but see how she is still thin. Its harder for women to increase size when built that small.

            she needs to start eating....like right now. And put that "9,000 shekels" and more into a feminine body. She has no butt, puny breasts, and almost no curve she's so skinny. Fattened up, now that's another story, but there is no way she can get that good looking in a year. If she does manage, well then I will give her my apologies.

            You mean "taller" not "bigger". Gal Gadot has the same body type as Saldana (emaciated and boyish body) she just is taller. And just like Saldana, Gadot has no business being an action heroine with how bony she is.

            Joe Key made a great point that you ignored probably because you either have little to no experience with women or are gay.

          3. Tim Gonzales Avatar
            Tim Gonzalesreplying to SnapIntoASlimJim

            No, I meant Gal has more mass in those photos. Gal right now is the skinniest she's been apparently. If you look at photos of her when she was Miss Israel, or the ones I posted, it's not hard to see she can bulk up to a decent level. I'd argue she could get to Jessica Biel's level in Blade 3 with the right training and diet (supposedly she's training with Mark Twight/Gym Jones; the folk who got Henry Cavill into shape).

            Also, what's with the vitriol? Your offhand comments about having no experience with women or being gay adds literally nothing to whatever argument you're trying to make. And what's wrong with being gay? Enlighten us here on this message board.

          4. SnapIntoASlimJim Avatar
            SnapIntoASlimJimreplying to Tim Gonzales

            Gal has no more mass in that photo. She looks exactly like she always has.

            It's going to be so easy for Warner Brothers to fool the public since the mainstream media has already done so for decades by putting women with emaciated and boyish looking bodies as if they are what attractive women should look like and even what they claim an athletic woman looks like. They'll just have her film some stupid clips of her pretending she is working out and all of the simple minded ones out there (especially non-straight men that prefer women that have emaciated and boyish bodies) will claim up and down like Daniel Christopher Holt here that she has completely physically transformed herself and the image of bony androgynous women sold as the ultimate woman will continue to be pushed in media. It's sick.

            Wonder Woman should have been played by either Gina Carano or Nadia Bjorlin who both look physically perfect for the role. But sadly, Hollywood takes its cues from the fashion industry which is run by gay men.

            And there is nothing wrong with being gay. The thing is though, gay men are not attracted to women yet many gay men make remarks about women as if their opinion counts. The reason women look the way they do is due to gay men's tastes since they run the fashion industry.

            Keep digging that hole. Jesus. If you can't tell the difference between Gal now and those photos I posted, I don't know what else to say. Your negative predisposition towards Gal for whatever reason seems to blocking out any kind of sense or logic. I mean, I can see the huge risk involved with casting Gal and the negatives that entails, but it's not hard to see how she might just surprise everyone. Snyder, while a spotty director, has been pretty solid with casting his films, so I at least have a bit of faith in his decision. I've no idea why the hell anyone would be so adamant against the casting to a point where they make verbal attacks, sexist remarks, and basically become a bigot. It's so weird.

            That said! Gal Gadot is a better actress from what I've personally seen. Gina Carano comes off as wooden. Watching her in a movie is like watching paint dry. No idea who Nadia Bjrolin is; haven't seen her in anything.

            "If you can't tell the difference between Gal now and those photos I posted, I don't know what else to say"

            This coming from a guy that sees a bony woman like Gadot and actually claimed, "she can portray someone who knows how to fight convincingly". You know you don't know what you are talking about. Don't ignorantly assume that about everyone else doesn't as well because it makes you look stupid. Gadot looks exactly the same in those photos you posted. Like I said in my previous reply it is going to be people like you that are going to be claiming Gadot has totally physically transformed when the pictures come out of her in costume even though she'll look exactly the same. I don't know if it's because you aren't very bright or you are lying because you like seeing women with bony boyish bodies in media.

            And Gadot a better actress than Carano? Now I know you don't know what you are talking about. Gadot was far and away the worst actress in those Fast and Furious films. She just stood around pretending she was attractive even though she has the body of a starving child. Carano at the very least is believable as a woman that can fight. Gadot couldn't stand up to wind.

            And Synder a "spotty director". No. He is a great director. What he needs are great scripts.

            Yup. Go on and continue to make more sexist remarks like there's nothing wrong with doing so. No big. Anyways... Snyder is a great visual director. One of my favorites, actually. I said spotty because Sucker Punch and Guardians were kind of "meh" to me, 300 was overly lavish (which worked for the most part, but some parts I didn't really dig), and Watchmen had some pacing issues, but overall I enjoyed it. Dawn of the Dead remains my favorite of his films, and Man of Steel comes in at a close second.

            That aside, I don't know why you continue to verbally attack me, claiming I'm part of some sort of subculture with the whole "people like you" statement. Get over yourself. I'm stating my opinion, not fact.

Your guys' games are weak and don't work in real life. You're the reason why people discriminate against minorities. You minorities are way more racist and you're all homosexual child rapists even from the research I've heard. I'm not racist but now I have to do racial profiling because of your bullshit.

I have to deal with your bullshit all of the time so it's you that are discriminating and giving me all of the bullshit. I'm simply telling you what is so it's your trashy minority bitch ass that's saying I'm discriminating when you're the same puny faggy mexican bitch that hides behind everyone with your cowardly bullshit and you haven't set such an example whenever the tests have come your way. You always lie every chance you get and I'm always purely honest. It's easy to bullshit all of the fucking time if you can hide behind people and hide your trash you stupid fucking bitch. I wouldn't say stupid Mexican bitch but when it comes down to everything it's some stupid scrawny Mexican bitch and Mexicans are always racist as it is so these are the only words that register with them. You'll find out what a stupid hoe you are when I knock you the fuck out otherwise you can keep hiding behind random fucking people cunt.

Two: You look and sound like a bitch, so I'm pretty sure I could wreck you if I had to, but I'd prefer not to. Three: I'm starting to think Lexi, SnapIntoASlimJim and you are all the same account. Fucking weird. Four: If you're all the same account, are you confused about how this comment system works? Are you suppose to be replying to me or someone else? Because this is goddamn hilarious. Five: I guess someone, maybe you, did in fact run out of pizza rolls.

            Go outside and get some fresh air. Assuming you're a fat fuck, I'm only suggesting that you get off your fat, disgusting ass and direct your anger towards something more positive. It'll do you some good. Otherwise, by all means, continue to be an obese, overweight piece of shit that contributes nothing of worth to society. It's not like the world is full of hateful, unoriginal, overweight fat fucks that post putrid shit onto the web because there's no consequences. Everyone could always have more of those kind of people, right?

            The funny thing is, this all stemmed from Gal Gadot being cast as Wonder Woman. How? How do horrid people like you exist? It's fucking mind boggling, damn. Definitely makes me laugh at the sheer absurdity of what you call your life though. Haha.

          Let's be real here. The costume will need some changes in order to not look silly on film. They got rid of Superman's red briefs and it turned out fine. Wonder Woman is allowed to have pants. Or at the very least something more combat practical than a swimsuit.

            The title was man of steel so it was only logical he would get the outfit fom the man of steel comic series and that outfit was without the red briefs. Also in new 52 the red briefs were changed into a red belt. I'm not so sure they would have dropped the briefs if it still was in the comics

            I think Lexi is a woman, just an fyi. Also, Gal Gadot is former IDF, i.e., a trained soldier. Granted, it's required that all women must serve in the military in Israel, but that goes without saying she can portray someone who knows how to fight convincingly.

            I wasn't replying to Lexi. I was replying to you as the comment clearly notes.

            Gadot's "military experience" is a joke. She is Israeli and Israeli citizens are all required to do mandatory military service at some point. Just looking at her emaciated body she clearly wasn't trained in any combat and was most likely doing non-physical duties like communications or something.

            How did you repeat what I said? You claimed she is "a trained soldier." She isn't. Mandatory military service can mean anything and from the way she looks she clearly didn't receive combat training. As I said, she was most likely doing non-physical duties like communications or something.

            As far as the "fitness instructor" that surely is something they made up in the press. She is scrawny. Anyone who properly trains and eats isn't going to look scrawny like she is. This is what makes it obvious you know little about women let alone the human body.

            I've seen people that are trained to fight all of their life and they're extremely easy to beat up. This is because they do the sport but not to that level and it's not like she's ever been professional MMA. There's no evidence she's even that good with fighting or performance which you wouldn't see in her movies either. Especially with women who say they do fighting training they treat it more how martial arts used to be treated where it's just the blind technique without the usefulness of making it effective in real fighting. I've seen this with the small ectomorph guys but they mix up a lot of different performance things so they're not anywhere to that level and are extremely easy to beat up even if they've been fighting all of their life. You can just read in to them when you meet them to see this as a person should still be good at fighting even when they're not training and so if you can beat someone up while you're not training and they're fully trained that's pretty sad, but that's how a lot of wannabe professionals are where when they're fully trained they still are easy to beat up. Most military training doesn't make you that great of a fighter and Israel is very low quality as it is. Israel is almost a third world country. She only did the military training because it was mandatory.

            I wont be supporting the anorexic Wonder Woman. So that is not a dumb reason. She has no endowments, anywhere. You want young girls to look up to Wonder Woman as a starving model? The comics originated for American ideals in our children. Girls looking up to the modern Wonder Woman will feel out of place as soon as they hit puberty. Very few women are naturally that skinny and that curve-less.

            Anyone who knows anything about bodies knows that Gal Gadot is an Ectomorph type. That means she has no hips, narrow shoulders, narrow waist and little to no breasts and behind. I guess you were too busy lifting your supposed near 300 pounds to ever find out about that.

            And the comments I made about you being gay were not ad hominem. I didn't mention them as insults but as an observation for you defending a scrawny and boyish looking women as if she was attractive and appropriate for Wonder Woman when she clearly is not.

      Zack Snyder did 300 and so it looks like her character will be partially inspired by that as he'll be doing some Greek and Roman mythology which is pretty cool. I thought that blue eyes make a lot of sense for the history but he might want to work with her natural appearance instead of changing anything like that so she can feel more connected to the character. Depending on the time of history they could have blue eyes as I've said the first set of super beings that began to mix with this planet's people 200,000 years ago had black hair and black eyes but they mostly mixed with the brown eyed mortal white people. They also mixed with some of the other races to an extent. The second set of super beings had blue eyes who were more powerful though the first set of super beings had some interesting abilities too and have a separate origin but when they came here 38,000 years ago they mostly mixed with the descendents of the first set of super beings. The second set of super beings were known for mixing with the first set and then also spreading out while the blue eyes were a dominant trait because the second set also reproduced a lot more while they both reproduced a lot. The second set traveled North and mostly went to Europe but also evolved Greece's culture which they might have created. The descendents of the first set also eventually went up North with the second set so 91.25% of the genetic lines of both the 1st set of super beings and 2nd set of super beings are in white Northern and Southern European ancestry who also spread out to The United States of America, Canada, and Australia.

      http://www.urantia.org/uran... (Nodites are the descendents of the first set of super beings. Adamites are the second set of super beings. Andites are a mixture of the Nodites and Adamites.)

      "The postrebellion era on Urantia witnessed many unusual happenings. A great civilization — the culture of Dalamatia — was going to pieces. “The Nephilim (Nodites) were on earth in those days, and when these sons of the gods went in to the daughters of men and they bore to them, their children were the ‘mighty men of old,’ the ‘men of renown.’” While hardly “sons of the gods,” the staff and their early descendants were so regarded by the evolutionary mortals of those distant days; even their stature came to be magnified by tradition. This, then, is the origin of the well-nigh universal folk tale of the gods who came down to earth and there with the daughters of men begot an ancient race of heroes. And all this legend became further confused with the race mixtures of the later appearing Adamites in the second garden."

      http://www.urantia.org/uran... (The Adamites were the violet race as the direct descendents of Adam and Eve.)

      "Adam and Eve were the founders of the violet race of men, the ninth human race to appear on Urantia. Adam and his offspring had blue eyes, and the violet peoples were characterized by fair complexions and light hair color — yellow, red, and brown."

      "After becoming established in the second garden on the Euphrates, Adam elected to leave behind as much of his life plasm as possible to benefit the world after his death. Accordingly, Eve was made the head of a commission of twelve on race improvement, and before Adam died this commission had selected 1,682 of the highest type of women on Urantia, and these women were impregnated with the Adamic life plasm. Their children all grew up to maturity except 112, so that the world, in this way, was benefited by the addition of 1,570 superior men and women. Though these candidate mothers were selected from all the surrounding tribes and represented most of the races on earth, the majority were chosen from the highest strains of the Nodites, and they constituted the early beginnings of the mighty Andite race. These children were born and reared in the tribal surroundings of their respective mothers."

      http://www.squarecircles.co... (Andonites are Javamen (1 million years ago), Heidelberg (850 thousand years ago), and Neanderthals (850 thousand years ago). The 6 Sangiks are the pigmented mortal humans that evolved in a freak mutation from the best andonite strain 500,000 years ago from a pair of parents who had 19 children who had the 6 pigments with the children having only one pigment each who stuck with their pigments and spread out to the regions. Nodites are the 1st set of super beings and their descendents (1st set of super beings are the Prince's staff of 100 Ascended Mortals). Adamites (Violet race) are the second set of super beings. Andites are a mix of the Nodites and the Adamites.)

      You too, eh? I think what they'll do is have Batman tell Superman that while he is the most phenomenal thing that has happened to the world these days, he is not the only phenomenal being out there. Then, he'll show him via his new company satellite (the first one having been destroyed by Zod in the first movie) an image of WW sparring with (and beating on) other Amazons. A friend of mine thinks she'll do the cliche' approach and appear dramatically before flirting with Superman (since, as he tells me, they do a little of that in some comics).

So adding your ACT score, which is obviously random and exaggerated, is just sad and obvious that you are really in over your head. But text books can't teach common sense, or kindred patterns, in social behavior. Kindred patterns: the things that are common and frequent in all man and woman, even in other species, despite physical difference.

      She doesn't represent anything but a casting F*%K UP to me. First they screw up her orgin and costume in the comic now they can't even find an actress with blue eyes and a build like Lynda Carter to fit the role correctly. Yeah she can buy breast but Lynda was a natural at everything 100%. Nothing about this girl is right except the movie Wonder Woman will look as ugly as the comic book one. And I don't mean Gal but rather the look of Wonder Woman in the current books out. UGLY!!!!!!! I guess it makes sense they lowered their standards in the comic books over at DC because they realized the bar was set to high in the 70's and matching crap with crap was the only way to make it work on screen.

    Why she need to look like a Spartan from 300? She's not exactly a regular human who requires muscle mass for strength, etc. She has super-natural powers, (isn't she a demi-god now?) none of it requiring her to look even remotely like a muscle bound Spartan or a female body builder. All she needs to know how to do it fight and kick ass.

    I really just hoping they go with a more warrior looking outfit for her. She needs to look more "warrior princess" than comic-book geek fantasy.

    And really, some of you needs to search for "Wonder Woman vs Furies" on You Tube. Wonder Woman wasn't drawn bulked up at all; she's the least bulked of the bunch. Yet you can't deny she's kicking ass.

        Of course she's going to train for the part; I'm just guessing she's not going to look like the big breasted body builder some people seem to be hoping for.

        My point was she doesn't have to look something out of "The 300"; she just has to look fit and make the moves look right. That's she'll train for.

    What a sad dark day for Wonder Woman. DC Comics just insist on ruining everything!!!!!!!! I will not be paying for tickets to this movie if she is in the New 52 costume. The actress already looks NOTHING like Wonder Woman unless your looking at the ugly new one in comics today with a neck choker. They can stick The New 52 and Jim Lee where the sun doesn't shine.

    Considering that having big breasts is a staple for super-heroines I'd hardly say that having big breasts is Wonder Woman's most defining feature. Now if it were Power Girl that they were casting as a skinny woman then that would be something else, but as it stands if you cast the other women in DC with realistic bodies than all of them having less than comic sized breasts is hardly an issue.

      The sexism of nerds at its "finest"; why are so many of us so f-ing shallow....

      1. lethargicj Avatar
        lethargicj

        I still don't think it's about sexism in the least.

        A - Nobody knows who this girl is. She doesn't have a track record of acting that we can really look at. At least with Ben Affleck the people who hate him can reference reasons of why they do. With Gadot being pretty unknown the ONLY thing most people could discuss were her pictures. If they had cast a well known actress the discussion would've went in the direction of do we think she can do a good job. With this choice nobody really has any idea if she can do a good job so the conversation drifted to the lowest common denominator. This happens with actors too. If they cast somebody we don't know as Luthor we'll all just sit here and discuss what his head will look like bald.

        B - Comics are a visual medium. We know what these characters look like. You can't just ignore that and throw any old person in the role. Personally, I think, from a physical standpoint, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is on par with Vern Troyer as Abraham Lincoln. I know what Lincoln is supposed to look like and that ain't it. I know what Wonder Woman looks like and that ain't it. It might work out in the end but right now I look at her and I'm perplexed.

        C - I would say MOST people who are complaining about the breastesess issue aren't trying to be sexist in the least. This is standard stuff for comic book fans to nitpick everything to death. People complaining about Gal Gadot's breasts is ZERO different from people complaining about Spiderman having organic webshooters. It's about people being obsessed with every minute detail of the comics they've read for years. It's not really about ewww, this girl's tits suck. It's about this isn't what I'm used to!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! A year from now we will have also picked apart Batman's costume, the Batmobile, whoever plays the villains, etc. and all of it will come from the same place.

        1. gaytrekkie Avatar
          gaytrekkie

          You can't compare Spiderman's webshooters to Wonder Woman's breasts. The former is an essential part of Spiderman's origin story, powers and costume. Wonder Woman's breasts are.. well... HER BREASTS! They're sexual organs for chrissakes! They're not part of her costume in anyway and certainly not indicative of her powers. That's like picking apart Superman's look because his balls don't hang down enough. In fact, how much you want to bet that the average comic fan would prefer that Superman doesn't have anything down there whatsoever?

            People complained that Keanu Reeves wasn't blonde in the Constantine movie. People complained that Kingpin was black. People complained that Wolverine was tall. People complained Henry Cavill was British. People complained Heath Ledger wasn't skinny enough. People complained Kirsten Dunst wasn't a red head and then that Emma Stone was.

            If the Superman from the comics was famous for having low hanging balls for decades, then yes, people would be complaining about his balls not hanging low. Absolutely. People were just complaining the other day the he didn't have a belt in MoS. I complained he didn't have trunks. Yes, the balls would be an issue.

        I'm saying her breast size DOESN'T matter. Because it's not actually part of her character it's just how she happens to be designed. So it shouldn't matter in the movie. How exactly is that sexist?

    Missy -- In November 7, 1975. Linda Carter made us believe she was REALLY Wonder Woman... NO questions asked. You see-- How many have you seen playing the role of Batman, Superman, Spider man ... Too many to count.

    You will have a hell of a time to fill Linda Carter shoes, because she embraced that role and made it her own.

    Linda Carter is the epitome of Wonder Woman. <--- This...nobody will ever question ...

    It's starting to seem this role is a lot bigger than we thought isn't it? We had that report a few days ago about the costume designer and it mentioned he'd be making Wonder Woman's costume. Now she talks about all this training. She wouldn't need that training for a bit part as Diana Prince. But then again the interview with the producer from Detroit kinda tried to play down her role. What's happening? I'm scared.

        For sure Snyder will put some elements of Kingdon Come together with Miller's Dark Knight Returns to build the main plot of the film. As KG and several animated movies, keep the focus of Superman, but have several glorified support roles to help to tell the history.

        But it does seem a lot bigger than what a lot of people were initially thinking, which was that it was just brief cameo and most likely not in costume. Now we know she will be in costume *and* will need to both get in shape and train for the part, which means at least one meaty action sequence.

      No one has downplayed her role. Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman. The producer in Michigan said they were excited to bring the character of Wonder Woman to screen. The costume designer said they were designing Wonder Woman's look. It's just because fanboys don't know what the story is or why she is a part of the story, they are losing their shit over nothing.

      1. lethargicj Avatar
        lethargicj

        Actually the costume designer did not say that. If you go read the original article the only comment on Wonder Woman was from the writer of the article.

        And of course the producer said he's excited to have WW. Obviously But that statement also had a "but" in it. By saying we're excited BUT...that sounds a bit downplayed to me.

        1. TJW Avatar
          TJW

          So why bring up the report in the first place?

          The producer went into detail about why he personally is excited about having an empowered female superhero in the movie, that his daughter is in love with a Wonder Woman book. The only "but" was in reference to a future Wonder Woman solo movie, he said that they are excited to have her in the film, "but" their focus is just on this film. Zero downplaying of her role.

      Yes, i think it will be a big role. Don't be scared, Lethy! WW needs a strong first appearance, to start a whole DC cinematic universe. After all, she is a third of the DC holy trinity, isn't she?

      1. lethargicj Avatar
        lethargicj

        I dunno, is she? I've always thought it was kinda silly and desperate the way they try to act like they have a big three. Sales show they don't. Wonder Woman sells less than Batgirl, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Nightwing. If we're being honest, the DC's trinity is really Batman, Batman and Batman. haha

        1. William L Avatar
          William L

          Yeah, i totally agree with you about WW sales and stuff. And I don't like the way they're rushing things too, but i think that is an urge for a strong female comic book character in movies, you know? Besides, i think WW belongs to the collective unconscious of the people. Personally i never was a fan of WW - the character can easily be a total disaster if done a bit wrong! If so, WB will have to go back to the Batman monotheism again! jajajaja

        2. DCfan Avatar
          DCfan

          Sales don't make the character (by the way, Wonder Woman has been doing substantially better in recent years) or their importance to the fictional universe. Wonder Woman and Superman have equal claims to DC's Trinity of major heroes due to their extensive character histories. When only three characters were still published in DC Comics, guess who they were... that's right, the Trinity. Including Wonder Woman, the most iconic superheroine of all time. Batman has been much more successful recently, true, but that can easily turn around...and fans of DC tend to like more than just him.

    I find Zack Snyder usually picks people we think wouldn't fit that role. but then he casts them and completely redefines that actor or actress with a memorable feeling. For instance.. Dominic West... doesn't matter what you see him in anymore you just remember him as that cowardly pig in 300. Hell, 300 really blew Gerard Butler's career up. Zack's a great director and even I am worried about his casting calls on this but I think we should just put faith in him to know he will likely make an amazing movie. MoS was a hit or miss with some people but I personally think he hit the mark on it. And brought a more realistic approach to it especially with Lois and his identity. The back story is incredibly informative and believable as far as comic book movies go. I'd put him in the same class with Nolan. Although I truly believe TDKR was one of his worst movies. It felt rushed in filming. We didn't get the classical 360 camera shot that he does in almost all of his films. I thought bane was under done. Bruce Wayne is basically still depressed but he swears vengeance when his parents die but now some girl dies whose not even sexy and he turns into a hermit... I have a hard time believing that crime would just stop because harvey dent died... he was the one busting asses in law he's gone wtf would you be worried about some act for. and they make batman an outlaw so why wouldn't they just be out in masses on the streets like they were before batman showed up. Scenes were out of sequence. We always question casting but then once the movie is out we're talking about how amazing of a job this person did that we were blasting was a horrible choice. Casting Anne Hathaway as Cat-woman was the best part of the whole movie and I loved JGL's character until they made him Robin at the end. Stupid...Anyways. I think we should just be patient and see what happens ain't like we got a choice anyways..

That, is without mentioning that the critics hate Snyder i don't know why they hate Snyder but they hate him. Despite the great job Snyder did with MOS the critics hate that movie.

            lol, we'll see about that. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go clean up a bit. I have some friends coming over for Anderson Silva's retirement party!

        "Any true Bat fan who has ever read a JL comic knows that Batman always gets F#CKED over BIG time"

        I don't know what JL stories you've read but I feel the exact opposite. I get so tired of every story ending up with Batman being the guy who solves the problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK, I get it, Batman is sooooo smart, and in a room full of people of with powers he's still the best, whatever. He's got a plan to beat everybody! How does he find time to make these plans? Shouldn't he be busy fighting crime?

        Look at Forever Evil. The entire Justice League has been taken out except who? OF COURSE.

        I really don't know what to expect of MoS sequel, bro. It's a fucking enigma how Snyder will pull off Batman from that mess. I mean, i liked MoS, it was good fun and i think the sequel will be interesting at least. But i only feel one way of Batman not being crushed in the middle of it: Wayne donating a lot of money for Metropolis reconstruction, and using A LOT of kryptonian tech and stuff! LOL

        About the Wonder-Chick... well, i got nothing, we shall wait and see! At least she'll have two boobs, i guess! LOL

        About Anderson - don't worry! He owns that fight already! He learned a lot from his last "circus" show! He'll win this, watch! :-)

        Don't worry about Lethy - he needs to learn more about CHARISMA with us! LMAO

        Happy new year's booze for you and your beloved ones, bro! CHEERS!

    "Gorgeous"???? Um, no. She's not remotely attractive. Neither facially nor her physique.
    And she can't act - which is quite a significant issue.
    And for the record, yes, having an ample bosom IS important, too.

      Every single heroine in the DC Universe has an "ample bosom." Completely unnecessary. I love my comics, but it'd be foolish to say that the female characters aren't hugely pornified--from their costumes to their stances to their bodies.

      I'd say having an ample bosom is only as important as Batman or Superman having a neck the size of a tree trunk.

      To say that the size of Wonder Woman's breast is important to her casting choice is of the utmost difference and slightly misogynistic.

    Her breasts don't matter, but she needs to bulk up a lot!

    i say we give her a chance,we dont know how she is going to look in the movie yet so we cant really say shes too skinny,lynda carter was also slim ,but she did a great job as wonder woman,plus ww isnt like the other amazons she was made by the gods,the other amazons were born by humans,so how she look physically should not matter ,the way some of these fans are saying.

      Yeah, I knew all of this before they announced it, I didn't have a shred of doubt in DC they know what direction they are going in so we all just need to sit back and relax and speculate some fun stuff.
