Big difference was (from someone who knows nothing about GotG outside of the movie) that Gamora is an assassin. Sleek, sexy and dangerous doesn't require you to look strong and physically intimidating.

Wonder Woman is a physical female powerhouse. She should look like she can fuck up more than her hair and make-up.

I'm not saying Snyder won't make Gal look good on camera, but she certainly does not fit the physical expectations of a Wonder Woman at casting. (Her SDCC appearance really didn't seem to change too many opinions either).

The thing about Wonder Woman is that she has been depicted in so many ways she doesn't exactly have a "standard" body type. Outside of her breasts anyway, so if someone reeeeeaaaally wants to they can bitch about that I guess.

To the general public WW's most prominent roles have been the Carter show and the Justice League cartoons. Carter isn't exactly big and WW was pretty small in her animated showings. The only animated showing she had where she looked really imposing was JL: The New Frontier where she was bigger and taller than Superman.

This is how she looked the majority of the time in JLU.

Eh, I guess. I suppose I'm just always going to have a different perspective since I've seen enough versions of Wonder Woman to know she doesn't always look huge. Even going back to the Golden Age, she was originally fairly thin, with the only imposing thing about her possibly being her height.

go home Gal Godot

Danny DeVito is pretty busy with It's Always Sunny...

Danny Devito already in talks to play Billy Batson.

She doesn't have to be huge or anything, just have a decent muscle tone and fit looking body.

Gal has a model build. She is thin. and even after she started to work out, she is still too thin.
Maybe if she did a little weight gain and then tone down it would look better.
She has a better body style for a Catwoman type than a Wonder Woman type IMO.

It's not like she's done working out. Gal wasn't anywhere near my choice for WW but that's who we got. All any of us can do now is hope she does the role...erm...justice. But if she sucks I will be the first to rage.

 

[Penguin]

Yup, and BvsS would hit right around Arrow's season 4 final and Flash's 2nd.

And let's not forget the GAF-sponsored Smallville rewatch....

Why did this thread devolve into Gadot body analysis/bashing again?

Yeah, its getting pretty fucking tiring and a touch pathetic.

 

[strafer]

im not bashing her.. she's hot and will do great as WW.

She won't be filming for a while, last they said. Plenty of time to keep working out.

Bottom line, if she's bad in the role, it'll be because her acting wasn't up to snuff or because the script let her down or both. It certainly won't be because she doesn't look like a cartoon character.

Yeah, its getting pretty fucking tiring and a touch pathetic.

It started out tiring and pathetic, though I guess I kinda contributed to this round.

Sorry.

yeah that stupid shit really did go on too long.

My problem is just gadot period

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Worst case: spectator/cameo.

Best case: Supergirl.

Well, he might address that considering the crashed ship in MoS

 

[GentlemanCrow]

I'm guessing that little Easter egg was put in before they came up with the Batman/ten years of planning angle. They were probably expecting a slightly slower build up to the Justice League where they would address that open pod and it repercussions. They still might, there is nothing stopping it actually being something moving forward. But it was put in at a time when they were still thinking if there was going to be a sequel it would probably have been MOS2. We all were. I have a feeling they will drop the pod because it quite a closed avenue of possibilities now they have Amazons, Sea Kings and the like...

 

[IconGrist]

I think Supergirl is overdue for a return to the big screen. Nothing major like her own movie but a supporting role would be good. Say Doomsday or Darkseid kills her and Superman goes apeshit mad and pounds the fuck out of him. Snyder wouldn't be able to resist bringing this scene to life...

 

[IconGrist]

Sorry for the double post but I had to share this. Grabbed it from SHH.

That's pretty damn awesome.

 

[G-Fex]

that's real?

 

[Nicktendo86]

that's real?

Look at his right hand.

 

[inm8num2]

that's real?

Just a photoshop, it seems, using the background from the official shot of Cav-El.

 

[IconGrist]

It's from the manips thread on SHH. Someone had made a version similar to this earlier but this one is leagues better.

 

[strafer]

All the great stuff comes from SHH.

Its totally the aftermath of MoS. Wayne has been watching

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

So flashback?

 

[G-Fex]

Bruce Wayne is so fucking nosey

 

[Future Foundation]

So flashback?

It's starting to look like it, yeah. It would make for one hell of a start to the movie.

 

[strafer]

Does those brown shoes go with that suit?

 

[anaron]

c'mon Gal! why don't you like more like OG Wonder Woman?

 

[G-Fex]

apparently this 'Gal' is too good for star spangled panties.


She seems stuck up already

 

[BadAss2961]

This whole sequence looks like it's happening in Metropolis during the Zod invasion. So Batman being at ground zero during the invasion would make him more cautious of Superman in general as he experienced the destruction first hand. I wonder if that's the angle they are going with here.

It's a good idea.

People are already saying she's being objectified... could you imagine if they went with the panties!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I always loved me some curly haired Wonder Woman

That's vintage wonder woman, that is PRIME wonder woman.

She wears panties with stars damnit!

Would be an inspired way to begin the movie. I like it.

 

[Ether_Snake]

So, isn't it likely that some sort of Batman villain would be in this movie somehow? You can't have Batman leave Gotham and its villains behind like everything is fine back home. Heck, we should see Gotham too right? It would be a mistake not too, even if briefly, because it would really drive the point home that this is one universe. Having only Batman show up like he's on vacation would feel cheap.

edit: Wayne Enterprise probably is going to be getting contracts to "defend Earth", hence why he would be there. In the process of making some tech to defend Earth from whoever, he also makes something to bind Superman. Eventually he has to accept to work with Superman as the bad guys do too much damage, release him, and they learn to work together.

Gotham and metropolis are like an hour apart. You can see Gotham from lex luthors office. You could switch between the two easily enough if they needed to.

Edit: I see. So the damage limited itself entirely to Metropolis even then? How Power Rangersish.

[sankt-Antonio]

Batmen is going to snatch Zod's body from ground zero, synthetisize the armor material for his own Batsuite and discover that only a blade with a special alloy could cut trough a kryptonian body. He calls this stuff Kryptonium.

 

[Renekton]

Funny cause she isn't that different body-wise from Zoey Saldana, who just played Gamora and no one has a problem there. Of course, Wonder Woman carries far more expectations than Gamora does.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you but Gamora isn't the best comparison.

WW is a JLA muscle to the point she can cover Supes in a pinch.

Yea but her strength is magic based. Has nothing to do with her physique. A skinny WW without her gauntlets would wreck a super buff Superman.

 

[Discotheque]

I don't even care that much about her build. I just think she lacks charisma. 3 fast and furious movies and she managed to have less screen presence than Jordana Brewster lmao

Hopefully she pulls this off though because it's the biggest female action character in pop culture imo

 

[Indrid Cold1]

More from SHH:

Affleck looks mean here, imposing. The more I see, the more I like.

 

[Marion Cobretti]

I'm starting to think that this movie is gonna have Batman form the Justice League to take on Superman, only to find out the Lex is up to no good.

It'll probably end with a cliffhanger.

Soooooo many possibilities for what can be done with the story. So damn exited to see the final product.

Brewster and Rodriguez are the only constant major female characters in the series though.

Gadot serves her purpose in F&F. Nothing more, nothing less.

[BadAss2961]

I'm digging Bruce's attire. A different look from what we're using to seeing.

 

[Cooter]

Every time I see this thread I get excited for news or media. I'm pretty sure by the time this hits I will feel exactly the same as I did when I was 7 on Christmas morning! Ben looks to be absolutely nailing my ideal Bruce Wayne from everything I've seen.

 

[jackdoe]

These scenes that they are shooting could definitely be a flashback parallel to the Superman/Zod fight. After all, it definitely takes place in Metropolis.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I get the feeling the whole movie will be in Metropolis and we won't really see Gotham (plus Gordon and the rogue's gallery) until Batman's solo movie.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I really like the idea of the movie opening during the Metropolis fight.

BRUCE WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME.
