I saw the rest of the Patty Jenkins interview on Conan:
She was nicknamed Wonder Woman at school. But the reason she got the nickname was she tripped over in the cafeteria one day and someone said, "Good job, Wonder Woman."
She said she is very animated when she directs, acting out scenes and being very loud. She gets so involved she sometimes forgets about her appearance, with unbrushed hair and wearing sweatpants.
She talks about how she would be directing Gal and Chris so much all day that she started thinking she was them. But then she watched the dailies and saw herself walk into the shot, talking loud and looking shorter next to them, and realised she wasn't them at all.
Conan asked about how the Amazons are all different shapes and sizes and not all the exact same model look. Patty says they searched for the best athletes and fighters all around the world. She couldn't just cast models because if she met someone who was beautiful but looked liked even she could beat them up she didn't hire them.
Women fighters and men fighters are different in that men have more showmanship and add extra moves but women just want to get the job done in as few moves as possible.
She wants to direct the sequel, that is the plan, but they are still working it out.
