I know y'all were hoping Gal Gadot buffed up to be Wonder Woman, but: LINK

Yeah, she's still thin as a nail, and has no business playing Wonder Woman, even less so than Jesse Eisenberg had playing Lex Luthor (which is really saying something). Affleck as Batman is the least of this film's worries, and I'm predicting now that this will be looked on as one of the worst films of all time.

Anytime anyone involved in this production opens their mouth my first thought is "oh no". They're ridiculously jacking off to "The Dark Knight Returns" when they clearly have no idea why that plot works within context. Sorry, but the second chapter of a planned 10 film series is taking prime inspiration from that comic? It makes sense for "The Dark Knight Rises", since Batman has been around for a while, is beaten and battered, and is about to inevitably be killed in some form, but to start out a Justice League franchise? You've either lost your fricking mind or don't know why that story works. I'm leaning towards both.

Man of Steel only installed the worst faith in me about this project. All they are doing is looking at frick ups in the past and what fans like reading about and implementing them. They're really just digging this franchise into the ground, and by 2020 there will be some revamp from the start to get a Justice League movie that doesn't completely blow by 2025.

I'm too tired to argue, so I'll keep it simple. I'm excited. Could it be bad, sure. I've thought many movies could be bad and they turned out good. I've thought many movies could be good and they were bad. Some things concern me, yes. Some things concern me about The Avengers 2. I'm going to wait and see for this one.

Goddamn it.

No matter how hard you try, you can't build a buff and well muscled fighting warrior princess of the amazons out of a runway model.

frick DC for allowing Snyder to go forward with this catastrophic miscasting. It has an excellent chance of winding up on the level of Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. Actually, frick DC for still allowing Snyder to have any control of the franchises of the biggest superheroes in comic book lore and history.

If gadot crashes and burns as WW this is going to be an extremely upsetting and depressing waste of Ben Affleck as Batman because if one actor is fizzling in a role, it will blow the multi movie deal apart and they'll have to start over.

Gadot better be looking like this when the movie rolls out in theaters.... It may be an unfair expectation but damn it, that is what the role requires.
