Yes, I do remember Baccarin saying a few times that she'd love to play Wonder Woman. And she provided the voice for Black Canary in a few episodes of Justice League Unlimited.
 
jmc, have you seen how WW is drawn in Miller's All-Star Batman and Robin? Her tiara extends down her nose, the way greek helmets do. Its not a bad idea, and in trying to make WW look more like a warrior and less like a stripper, this tiara could help. I thought you could give it a try in your manips.

Didn't care much for that All-star B&R so no I haven't seen his WW.
 
brian u got a picture of the build gina has?

Happy to oblige.

These photos are from the weigh-in for her Strikeforce MMA bout vs Cris Cyborg back in August '09.

She's been bigger, but this, for me, is the best shape she's been in and the perfet shape for WW. Good muscle tone without being too over the top as to lose any feminimity; plus it's a more realistically attainable physique for any potential actress cast.

She looks kinda manly, i.e. she has no curves.

I personally dont like WW when she is drawn too muscular. Her strength doesnt come from exercise anyway. So i'd like her to have the body that Rachel Nichols had in GI.Joe, perhaps with some more muscle. But only a little more.

Here. I am talking about the tiara only, because the skirt is ridiculous.
 
The only parts you ever see of the actresses body are her arms, shoulders and thighs. Most women don't have broad shoulders.



Love that ASBR issue! I've never literally seen a famous creator lose his mind so completely in 10 issues.
 
Whoever that is posted above... I'd rather have no WW than have that. She looks like a man, both in face and body.

Superman's strength doesnt come from exercise either, yet actors cast work out to attain a certain build to play him [Hell, there'd be uproar if they didnt] so I dont see why the same wouldnt apply to WW.

I thought it would be pretty much a given that any actress cast would have to hit the gym to get into shape, and Carano's build there is that of an athlete, not a body-builder, and is definately not too muscular in my opinion.

You want an example of a real overly muscled woman? Try this on for size:-

Not that's too muscular. See the difference?

The problem with Carano is that she is too butch, she doesnt have much muscle definition, nor female curves. I mean her thighs and arms are thick (and i am sure they re filled with muscles), but you dont see much muscle definition.
Diana is always drawn like a tall woman with curves and muscles. But she never had those manly thighs and arms. So if i had to think of a real life example, i'd propose Rachel Nichols in GiJoe. Remember that scene that's she's on the treadmill? Yeah....

Also, Carano doesnt have dem legs (not that i'm suggesting Nichols, but she definitely has the body for the role):

thanks brain for the photo of what build u where talking about. i wouldnt mind that look, and earle nichols look good too.

You seriously think Gina looks manly? The girl is in great athletic shape, you want manly I suggest browsing for some of those female bodybuilders. Gina's body there is almost the perfect body type for WW, toned and sexy, exactly what the character should be.
 
Build doesn't even matter. CGI and practical effects are going to be doing all the work anyways.

That "Kickassness"(yeah it's not a real word but I'm putting it out there) quality in acting on the level of Jen Garner in Alias or Buffy is what I'm looking for.
 
The first season and a half of Alias maybe.
 
Rachel Nichols is hot, but I dont see whats so perfect about her physique for WW? She doesnt have any muscle tone or anything so I dont see what's so good about her body for WW

Gina Carano is good looking too, muscle wise I guess shes fine

But honestly I dont really care about WW's muscle tone that much

I dont mean that she literally looks like a man, but her body is too stubby and she lacks the curves that i'd like to see on a woman's body.
Here is how WW is drawn like in the comics (dont mind the costume in the first one, she's temporarily a Star Sapphire):

To me her body looks nothing like the woman you posted. She is taller, thinner and more curvy that Carano. So the following is more like it:

Anyway, muscle isnt important, because muscle can be gained easily. If they just find a tall and beautiful actress, she can gain all the muscle necessary through training.


Also, did you see the All-Star version Wonder Woman and what did you think of her?
 
Dude, it's an illustration, you're not going to find a woman who looks anything like those images, Gina's body (in that pic anyway) is awesome, toned, tough and sexy, exactly how a female warrior should look, that chick you posted in the WW costume looks frail and week, like any run of the mill model you can find in a magazine. And yes I saw the WW from All star Batman, don't care for it.

1) Why are you mad? Because i disagree? Or are you Carano herself?
2) Those are illustrations but the woman i posted looks exactly like that. If anything, she looks more like WW than Carano who looks short and stubby.
3) The woman i posted looks frail? WW doesnt have the body of a body builder you know. She has the body of a tall, thin woman who works out a lot. And as i said, WW's strength doesnt come from her muscles anyway.
4) I went to the trouble of finding those pics and posting them for you seeing how interested you are in WW and doing manips for her. I thought you might want to take a look at that tiara which looks more practical. I dont care if you like it or not, but i thought you could comment on that and perhaps we could discuss the costume in general. But you didnt even respond at first. Is it that you re mad at me for not liking your woman?

1. I'm not mad, not sure what gave you that idea or how you came to that conclusion.
2. Gina is nearly 5'9, the woman is hardly short.
3. Who the hell said anything about WW having the body of a bodybuilder? WW is a toned and athletic warrior, exactly what Gina looks like, the girl you posted looks like any old Cleo model.
4. What exactly do you want me to say? I said I don't care for that costume, people already know where I stand on the costume thing.

4) I thought that of all the posters in here, you probably were the one most interested in WW so when i first saw that i instantly thought of you and your manips and if this somehow could give you new ideas. But you didnt even comment until i asked you to. So you either dont care that much for WW, or your mad at me, or you ve discussed this before and dont care to do so again.

Anyway, no problem.

As for Caran, since you re so good with manips, just dress her like WW and you 'll prove my point. She's too stubby for the role. Not even Powergirl is that thick.
 
The tiara is kind or ridiculous, too. What's it supposed to be protecting? her nose? The rest of her head is uncovered.
The whole suit is ridiculous anyway. But i thought that the suit could become more functional, like in jmc's designs for instance and so the tiara could look more practical as well. It doesnt really protect anything, but it does give her a more warrior-esque look.
That said i dont like it too much. I just thought i'd share regardless.
 
Earle, no one suggested Gina for the role.
 
I am not saying you suggested her, but you did suggest her body. And if you dress her in a WW suit, you ll see my point.
 
Random question, which comic is that where WW is a Star Sapphire and there's zombies in the background?
