they did a great job with Faora in MoS so i'm not worried at all

Do I have to post modern examples? No one wants WW to be a muscled hulk anymore than they want a powerful Amazonian to be skinny.

Please do.

 

Not trying to argue, just wondering if something changed while I wasn't paying attention. Almost any WW 'style guide' I can think of, up through Bruce Timm animated, depicts WW as exceptionally gorgeous but 'normal' in stature. Some Alex Ross shows her stockier, but only some. Other images by him go right back to her traditional body type.

 

It's all fantasy anyway, right? So it'd be fun to see where the 'big guns' fantasy is coming from. (thumbs u

she's still not BIG, just ripped

[Davenport]

Thanks! (thumbs u

 

Have to admit, I haven't paid much attention to New 52 WW art.

There'll be no fighting in the 'Batman vs. Superman' thread - other than between Batman and Superman.

Jason Momoa - 'Aquaman, no. Lobo, hmmmmm. Could play that if you like.'

 

"I couldn't even be more random for Aquaman, you know, with the blonde hair," he said. "I don't even know where that comes from, it's like being... uh... Robin or something. Who pulls that out? I see that on the Internet and I'm like, 'Aquaman? A guy like... Lobo I could see.'"

 

[Davenport]

Yeah, I was just curious. Googleing some 'New 52' WW images there does seem to be more trending toward "warrior" now. More sword wielding than lasso. More rage, more body armor.

 

Jim Lee designs are all over the map though, gotta say. In some she's a petite young lady, in others a screaming manic on the attack. It's those latter where her 'ripped' biceps come prominent.

And then in animated movies and related comics, Wonder Woman is quite large. Even just as wide in the shoulders as Superman.

 

 

 

It makes it a little confusing.

[kagenish]

It depends which book you read she does use the lasso in the JL book but in her book theirs no need to use the lasso but show more of her warrior side when she's fighting other God's and so far in the superman/wonder woman book is a mix of both lasso and warrior.

[Davenport]

It makes it a little confusing.

I dropped in mid-discussion, so I probably should've googled Gal Gadot first. She is..um....thin.

 

But hey, I enjoyed Keira Knightley as a warrior in that King Arthur movie. So, right camera angles, right lighting...

 

But man, yeah...thin. There was a term for it once upon a time, "heroin chic" if I remember right.

Cool clip. That is the Earth 2 Golden Age WW though.

Wouldn't the next panel show Batman dead?

 

Absolutely not, because he had the BAT CHIN PROTECTOR activated. You just can't see the label beneath his mask.

 

 

Sorry. I'm building a Batmobile 1966 model, and went looking for a site that had the original car images. I never noticed all the labels calling out different features.

 

Batmobile (1966) Image Library

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also never realized the car had four different license plates (the fourth being a legal plate probably to be able to drive it around).

 

• 2F-3567
  
• TP-3567
  
• BAT-1
  
• ZEF-451

Is she on set and filming now? I was hoping she would get another six months sucking down weight gainer and hitting the gym before donning the costume. This is a disaster.

 

And the movie hasn't even come out yet!

She was fantastic in MOS. Good casting. Gadot, not so much.

 

And the film hasn't even come out yet!!!

[Bosco685]

Hey, has this film come out yet?

 

[slym2none]

IDK, is Gal Gadot not too thin for Grails yet?

And what does that have to do with my opinion on her being cast? Am I not allowed to have one?

[slym2none]

You can't really have an opinion on her being cast as Wonder Woman when you haven't seen her act the part yet. You don't even know if she's as thin as she used to be.

[slym2none]

Yet someone already labeled this "a disaster."

You should read this again.

Come on out, Wonder Woman. We're waiting.
