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.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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.

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.

What is even happening?
Isn't Morena a little physically delicate to play Wonder Woman?

That's because you're not a Hollywood studio exec trying to keep his job by not startling the people with money or the conservative whack-jobs who don't like change.
I saw a very interesting article about movies with black actors (Wil Smith etc.) always having Latina or Italian girl friends, because blonde girlfriends make people nervous and black girlfriends mean white people won't go see it.
Whack-jobs.

Hmm, Will Smith's movie girlfriend being black didn't keep me from seeing Independence Day. Though, in retrospect, I wish something had...
