Yup. She's tough and gutsy. She might be a little too tough for the role but I think she's a good enough actress that she could pull it off.

I think they want to go for a younger version. Again like Lucy Lawless, it would have been a great idea if she were younger.

Hollywood and their infatuation with youth.... Why can't Wonder Woman be a mature woman in a superhero role? It's like they want us to believe that middle-aged people are physically incapable or something. While that may be true in individual cases, I think it's silly to assume that of everyone. Check this out:
(86 yr old woman doing a floor gymnastics routine) Honestly, I feel like we're so brainwashed by the "Hollywood image" that fans would probably never accept someone Lucy Lawless' age as Wonder Woman, in spite of the fact that she'd be awesome in the role.

That 86 year old woman is amazing. I'm not even that flexible and agile at my age. God, I feel so old now. Oh, hang on... You do make a good point though, sjfaerlind. It could be very cool to go with someone who's a little more mature, which you could imagine someone like Wonder Woman being. So, with that in mind, I'm going to suggest Paula Patton. She's 38!

In this particular instance they're doing it for story purposes. This is supposed to be Wonder Woman, Superman, and most of the rest at the beginning of their superhero careers. Again Affleck as Batman was actually chosen partially because he's a bit older because they wanted Batman to be more grizzled and experienced compared to the more powerful members of the cast.
