I have to agree with ita.
Lauren Graham could look the part. As could Lucy Lawless. I'd rather see Gina Torres, though, if only because I know how capable she is of kicking ass on screen.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think Gina is going to be too old for their conception off WW. Also, I'd be surprised at a race-blind casting for such an iconic role. Hollywood not being notably progressive in that way.

I could never take Lauren Graham seriously as Wonder Woman. She'd just look like Lorelai wearing the outfit. Because you know Lorelai would at some point wear the outfit.

Unfortunately, I have to agree, especially if this is franchise material.

Yeah, well, no one thought Michael Keaton could play Batman.
And now I'm not sure what point I'm supporting with that. But I'll leave it.

I'm not sure I could take anyone seriously who insists on wearing underpants and knee-high boots and nothing else below the waist. Like, okay, I get that you're super, but if you have to run through a briar patch, don't come crying to me.
Also? Have you ever seen anybody turn a cartwheel in a strapless bra? Tragedy and black eyes are wont to ensue.
Here is to hoping the outfit gets re-envisioned.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you ever seen anybody turn a cartwheel in a strapless bra?
Yes.
Tragedy and black eyes are wont to ensue.
But even for the mortal, it's avoidable.

I'm expecting a bikini.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Why am I not surprised that ita has seen people cartwheel in strapless bras? Surely it is a level of krav -- defending oneself acrobatically while wearing evening clothes.
