    now I know everyone here want to see Natalie Portman as wonder-woman, but what about Angela Lansbury?. It certainly would be unexpected, and I for one have come to expect the unexpected..

      To hell with that. I say they cast Zombie Kathrine Hepburn! You haven't seen Wonder Woman until you've seen her shambling down the road wheezing "...brains. must eat brains..." in a patrician New England accent. Movie Magic! MSH

      Natalie can't fill out the suit.

      You could fill out the missing curves with hot grits.

    Joss has a real talent for writing amazing scripts and making characters memorable. Buffy was amazing, so was Angel, and the little bit I have seen of Firefly, I liked. Characters like Willow, Spike, Darla, Drusilla will live on forever, great writing is key, and Joss is a master. I have faith in Joss to make this a good movie, safe to say, way better than Catwoman

    was the "iconic female heroine of our time." Wonder Woman was your grandparents' Buffy.
