No reason why Gina couldn't do it. Nothing in canon says that WW isn't african-american. and we've seen amazons of color befrore.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Our wings are not tired.
She would make an excellent big damn hero IMO.

GT has that warrior presence. I don't see it in MB. But then again, I've only seen her in the one role.

What is even happening?
I would love Gina in that role. Morena? Not so much.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gina would be awsome. I reserve judgement on Morena. She might have it in her, I just don't know. A name I haven't seen floated around (but intrigues me) is Reiko Aylesworth. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

Gina would have all the intangibles down cold, but I can see the problem of hiring her to play an iconic caucasian figure from a visual medium. Morena would have the exact look they need, but all is uncertain except the look.
Clearly, the solution involves a brain transplant.

Do I remember CC being thrown around as a Wonder Woman possibility at one point?

I don't see caucasian as a requirement. Female, yes. Caucasian, no.

The name of nearly every woman Joss has worked with has been thrown around.

I'm afraid I do for this - it's not a standard I hold all comic book character adaptations to, but I think the big icons like Wonder Woman and Superman really need to bear a strong resemblance to their original printed sources. Note that I had the same objection to Cathy Lee Crosby.
