First look at WoWo in "Batman v Superman"

Looks pretty good.

I see alot of complaints about her not having enough muscle, but given the nature of Wonder Woman, her muscles aren't really an issue- her strength is more of a supernatural status. You can't possibly visually represent the amount of force she can put behind a punch with visible muscle- she'd look like you crudely duct-taped every Gears of War character together and even THAT wouldn't be enough muscle to show how someone could believably lift a building.

Wonder Woman could hurl my car a hundred yards like it's nothing- you really can't have those kind of muscles in proportion given on humans it takes massively visible muscles just to bench 400 pounds. If it takes massive pecs to bench 300, think of what it would look like if someone could realistically bench-press multiple tons of raw steel? You just can't visibly show that- it has to be somewhat supernatural and therefore independent of muscle mass.

I think what people are saying, at least what I'm saying, is she isn't busty like how WoWo should be. Thick like completely stacked head to toe. This chick is just hella skinny. I wanted to see WoWo like them cosplayers portray her. Not a skinny one. Of course its all opinion, one of my comic book female fantasies is now brought to life skinny as hell :mad:

Honestly, Wonder Woman is actually quite thin in the comics. She has slightly thicker legs in New 52, but given how skinny her waist line is that's pretty much just artistic exaggeration.

Also lol, fuckin haters.


The same people complaining she's too skinny for Wonder Woman or Ben Affleck's too Ben Affleck for Batman were the ones complaining Heath Ledger was too gay cowboy for the Joker, until he made them shit themselves. Here's hoping Snyder & co. put their all into this and leave y'all with dirty drawers again.

For every "Heath Ledger as Joker" example there are just as many "Ben Affleck as Daredevil" examples. It works both ways, people were wrong in one instance but then right in the next instance.

They're also the same people saying Jessica Alba was too weak an actress to pay sue storm, Julian McMahon lacked the regal presence to play Doom, Brandon Routh was too inexperienced to play Superman, and oh yeah....Ben Affleck was too Ben Affleck to play Daredevil.

Fanboys round the world are going to have to hold heath ledger's joker until the end of time, but guess what: sometimes, oftentimes, the basement dwellers are actually right.

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
looks good indeed ... at first , yeah , almost everyone (myself included) hated the idea of picking Gal Gadot to represent the character .... but, she seems to have putting a lot of effort and workout to try to fit WW persona, and , the final result looks "acceptable" .... there is room for more physical improvement, but, the results so far, looks good ..... I could give a 7/10 so far, let's see until the movie really come out. ;)

I'm so fucking hype for this movie right now! I think they nailed these costumes, and the script is meant to be great.
I agree, the costume isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I just hope the actress has the chops to portray Diana
I agree, she looks the part but I'm hoping the reason she was chosen over others is because she has the acting chops as well...

But why worry about it when the movie isn't going to be out for a while? Is it just to keep your expectations low so you can't be disappointed or what?

It's the other side of the discussion. Whereas you have a




attitude, others are looking at it in a different light and discussing it as such.
Fair enough, I just don't think Gina Carano has the acting ability to pull her own movie with lots of dialogue, she's great when it comes to action but I don't think that would be enough.

Also here's a shopped version with colour I found, obviously not going to be in the actual movie but still pretty cool.

She did fine in Haywire and it wouldn't be her own movie since she's just one of many, many characters in this film.

>>R2 - BF4 = Unblockable.
I like the costume, a little muted in the colour department but I think it looks great as does she, could she do with being a little bit bigger, sure but I think she still looks great. I just really hope the movie isn't over stuffed, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman is serious trio to handle.

But haywire was all action... And yea this is a fairly small role but then she has to carry her own in the WoWo film and then the justice league movie. I don't know, maybe I'm just underestimating her acting ability. Gadot hasn't had any major leads either so I am doubtful about her ability too to be fair.
I don't know, why are you getting hype for it when the movie isn't going to be out for a while?
Trust me if this is bad I'll be the first one to slam it, but watching the JLU growing up and knowing how awesome this has the potential to be has got me excited to see it.
