Wonder Woman is Bella, Superman is Edward, Batman is Jacob
Jesus, Bob! Don't give these people anymore bad ideas! They got enough as it is! -_-
The casting of Wonder Woman, to me at least, holds a lot of the same questions Bob brought up and not just the "she's too skinny" complaint.
Is she a capable actress? I'm guessing "not really" since being a former beauty pageant winner and co-star in the
Fast and Furious movies doesn't build confidence in that department.
What will her role be? It seems likely she'll be a minor role like Sam Jackson's Nick Fury unless Warner Brothers decides it wants to make this into the superhero threesome (mind out of the gutters, boys) that is
World's Finest or
Trinity. If that happens to be the case than its just another example of them pulling something out of their asses at the last minute just to beat Marvel/Disney at their own game. Plus it also pisses off the fanbase since Wonder Woman is becoming a side character rather than getting her own movie, so its a no win situation for these fuckwits.
Finally, there is that one question that should be in bold capital letters
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MOVIE SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT?!?" It just feels like they're trying to pump this up to such a grand level that maybe, at least in their minds, it will overshadow the flaws of
Man of Steel and the possible flaws this sequel/spinoff may be brewing. I hate to burst your bubble, DC/WB, but just because you put tons of whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles on a bowl of shit, it doesn't mean the final product will make it taste like chocolate ice cream.
I should also point out that Fox and Sony, who are still clinging to their respective Marvel franchises like it was the only life preserver on a sinking ship, is planning to make their own cinematic universe.

WOW! Fucking jealous much, guys?!
Again, not to piss on their self-congratulating parade, but the big difference between the house of mouse ideas and the three studios in question is that Marvel Studios had a plan since day one. While it may had to be tweaked at certain points, they made sure that this was a well calculated risk that paid off in the end. Disney was just in the right place to purchase the company since they were looking to cash in on the male demo market. And thank God for that, otherwise they'd have to fall back on Pixar and their "comedy" shows like
Dog With a Blog.
Fox, Warner Brothers, and Sony, on the other hand, seem to be writing ideas on Post-It Notes, sticking them on a wall, tossing a dart or two, and wherever it lands becomes their next move. Once again, Hollywood is still using the time-honored tradition of "follow the leader" without understanding what made the success of said leader work. Perhaps its time for Marvel to either offer some consolation for Fox and Sony to make their movies better or just use some of Disney's capital and legal muscle to take the properties back before both studios fuck things up beyond repair.
As for DC/WB, unless Disney has some extra cash lying around to buy the DC Universe, it might be time to take this old company out to the woodshed and put two deer slugs in the back of its head. Because every bit of news coming from the comic book company and their movie studio is not winning hearts and minds. More like pissing everyone off to the point where I would not be surprised if Dan Didio got crucified at next year's Comic Con.
