Nice strong legs.

Nice strong, smooth and sexy legs.

Fixed.

And Wonder Woman's poster looks the best of all out of the big three that have been released.

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice director, Zack Snyder, pulls back the curtains on how Wonder Woman – played by Gal Gadot – fits into the highly anticipated superhero blockbuster.

How exciting is it to have Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice?


It’s an amazing opportunity to have Wonder Woman in the film. We haven’t had a female superhero of that magnitude, and it’s an amazing opportunity for the world to get behind an amazing, powerful female character. I’m happy that we have the opportunity to do that. Half of my movies have female leads…maybe that’s because I have so many strong women in my life. I’m not in the least surprised by a strong female superhero. I’m shocked that it hasn’t happened sooner. By the way, I highly recommend Jill Lepore’s book, The Secret History Of Wonder Woman, if you haven’t read it; it’s amazing, and truly epic.

How hard was it to find your Wonder Woman, and what characteristics were important for her?


We tested a bunch of actresses, as you can imagine. But the thing with Gal is that she’s strong, she’s beautiful, and she’s a kind person, which is interesting, but fierce at the same time. It’s that combination of being fierce but kind at the same time that we were looking for. She can get serious, but she’s amazingly fun to be around. And by the way, she really held her own with Ben in the screen test. Ben was like, ‘Whoa, that girl is something else!’ That was a good sign, because Ben is very tough in the scene, and he’s big and commanding. Anytime that you’re doing a test like that and you’re looking at the other person, you’re thinking, ‘Okay, that’s good stuff.’ That was part of the process, and over time as we got to know Gal, we found out how amazing she is.

Did you see a lot of actresses?


We did…I can’t even remember how many in terms of interviews, but for the final test, I think that we tested six actresses. But we interviewed and saw hundreds, so it was a pretty exhausting process.

Does she have as much screen time as Ben and Henry in this movie?


No, she has a cameo in this movie. No, actually… it’s bigger than a cameo. She comes in and does something.

In the trailer, Superman and Batman make a joke and then Wonder Woman appears. How did that joke come about?


The ‘Is she with you?’ joke at the end of the trailer? You have to see the movie, because it gears into the drama of what’s happening, and if you see it in the context of the film, it completely makes sense that the two of them were trying to figure out who she is…

What kind of dynamic do the three of them have?

Well, they’re forced together, which you get a sense of from the trailer. They’re forced to work together.

I love the, "She comes in and does something," answer. Cheers Zack. Lol. And the characterization he has in his head for Wonder Woman is spot on. Hope we see that with her in the movie. Kind but fierce also, I like it.

Where is this from, Hazzard?

As I said in the WW forums it would seem they got the characterization right. Great article.

I like the term "tough but kind." I think that sums up the duality of WW to me.

Also, if master director Ben Affleck was impressed by her, I think it means a lot about her casting.

I really want to know who Wonder Woman will be introduced in BvS, at a party scene? If so as what, ambassador to Themyscira? or a rich girl partying it up.

^the latter, TV spot 2 convinces me that "Casting Bruce Wayne's love interest" isn't entirely wrong.

He is all "Want, want, want!" with that casual head turn away from Clark. Daym.

"You learn pretty early on that Lex is interested in metahuman existence," Snyder explains, "and that there might be some relationship between that investigation and the appearance of Diana Prince."

Apparently this is from the new Empire Mag (?) but I can't find the primary source. Only saw it on twitter.

If it's indeed true, it gives some credence to that rumor about Diana Prince investigating the disappearances of Metahumans and that leads her to Lex.

Man we seriously need full page scans. All of it.

Or at least corroboration from those that have read the Empire article in full.

Superman smashed up her invisible jet by mistake now she's flying economy.

I knew that those rumours of Diana investigating Lexcorp to eventually finding out about doomsday might be true after all.

She's not... it's Business Class.

You can see that only Business Class has those kind of seats.

Does the airline promo suggest Diana won't be able to fly in this version?

She's flying in the recent Lego promo, but seems not to be able to in all the other footage we've seen (eg. horseback riding).

[Mrs. Wayne]

That's interesting. I didn't expect that to be the case at all with Diana. If so, no wonder she's quite cozy with Bruce.
