Now like I said I'll wait and see and maybe she'll prove me wrong but my initial impression (the only ones I can have considering we've only see two pictures) are mixed to say the least. I also think Gal Gadot is a bad choice for Wonder Woman. Not because she isn't attractive (far from it) but biased on her "acting" ability and my doubt in her ability to bulk up for the role. I think if we have to hold male superheroes casting under a microscope (people were just as hard on Chris Evans and Cavill when they were cast) then women casting should be fair game too. I don't appreciate being made out like some sort of horrible fuckpig for making a judgement based on the little we have to go on. Of course I'm going to judge the casting of a character on her looks and the Supes suit when there is literally nothing else to go on. Just like I've judged Affleck and Bats on the same and countless other characters before them.
I should have been clearer, I wasn't saying you were being misogynistic just that anyone who bases their judgement on the role on how "attractive" she looks is skirting close to that line. So sorry if you thought I was having a go at you personally.
Besides I'm always quite open when it comes to casting for comic book roles, as there's never one set in stone "look" for a character. Most characters have been drawn in many different styles, by many different artists over the years. The only thing that really has to look right is the costume and as long as the actor/actress isn't the complete polar opposite of the character (You wouldn't cast a short, fat, latino guy as Superman for example) there's usually a decent amount of wriggle-room.
