If Catwoman hadn't sucked, I think people would have had no problem with Halle Berry in the part
I have a historical beef, but she wasn't good as Jinx or Storm either, so I'm not even sure why they went for her as Catwoman. Maybe they've noticed a pattern by now.
I was about to say -- I have an objection to Halle Berry as Wonder Woman, but it's got nothing to do with race. I just think she really sucks as an actress.
My objection to Berry as Wonder Woman comes down to one salient fact--I don't care if Wonder Woman is white or black, but she SHOULDN'T be a skinny little rail. She needs to be solid and statuesque. Berry's too small, and SMG is out of the question.
But if the latter is flexible enough, she has the right coloring to play Wonder Woman's magic lasso.
Did anyone publicly object to Berry as Catwomen due to her race? I'd have thought Eartha Kitt would have settled any question of that decades ago—I still think of her rather than Newmar, Meriweather, or even Pfeiffer in the role.
I don't think Berry had any objections, but I've never seen a Black Wonder Woman before.

I think, Halle-as-actress objections aside, the biggest ruckus was over the fact that the character in the movie bore no relationship to anything remotely connected with the character. I mean Tim Burton took a lot of liberties with the characters vs. the comics, but not to that level.

Yeah, but it's not like it's a character that's been played a lot--Linda Carter, sure, but not much beyond the old TV show.
They cast a black Wonder Woman, I sincerely doubt there'll be a ruckus, so long as it's a good actress (like Torres) and a team people are excited about (like Whedon and Silverman.)
Torres would rock. She's got the build and the right sort of feel for the part.

I don't think I saw any complaints. I've seen a couple of stupid complaints re: Fantastic Four casting, but I think those were all from the losers at the John Byrne board, or from Byrne himself.
What were the comments? I'm not enthused by the casting myself.

Neither am I. I like Ioan Gruffudd, but he's way too young to be Reed Richards. And Jessica Alba as Sue Storm?
