Is Jessica Biel The ‘Throwaway’ Wonder Woman?
Sep 25, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
You know, sometimes the most difficult part of writing a post for this site is coming up with an image to attach to the article. I have to say this was a tough one. There were one or two other images I really wanted to use, but I do try to keep this site at about a PG-13 level. 
Anyway, word is out that the first superhero to be cast in the upcoming and rushed into production Justice League movie will be Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman.
Variety reports that:
“…the first piece of casting to emerge from the DC Comics-based ensemble project, which is expected to feature Superman, Batman, the Flash and Aquaman in addition to Wonder Woman.”
We’ve discussed the Justice League movie quite a bit here, and those posts are why I’m referring to Biel as the “throwaway” Wonder Woman. Between the rumor that they’ll have the Jon Stewart Green Lantern in the film, that neither Christian Bale nor Brandon Routh will be donning their respective capes for the movie, and the fact that a major character (The Flash?) is supposed to die in the film – it really seems to me that no actor appearing in this movie as a superhero has a snowball’s chance of getting spun off into a separate movie based on their character.
So, I think anyone coming into this movie will either be playing a one-shot deal, or will be playing the character only in subsequent JLA movies if the first one is a big hit (which at this point, I’m not too sure about that happening).
BTW, does anyone else squirm at the thought of Aquaman being in this movie? Give us Martian Manhunter or Hawkgirl, guys! Heck, I’ll even take Green Arrow. But Aquaman?

Geez, am I the only one that finds Biel a tad overrated. There are hotter women out there, and better actresses too.
No No No No!!! What happened to that smok’n Victoris Hill?!!! Un-freakin-believable!!
I’d prefer Martian Manhunter over Aquaman anyday. Hawkman,Green Arrow,the Atom…I’d include those guys before Aquaman anyday.
I could see as her as a possible Hawkgirl though.
I am okay with this casting, I just hope they keep Wonder Woman in as small an outfit as possible.
It’s alright if Jessica Biel is Wonder Woman.. just as long as she doesn’t pout too much and dons a skimpy costume.
Smoking HOT Nadia Bjorlin (from Redline) is still my pick for WW.
Bjorlin certainly has an exotic look that could work for the character, but it’s a moot point now.

Might be a bit to old to some, but Monica Bellucci *IS* Wonder Woman (in much the same way Vladamir Kulich is Thor). The flow of time sucks…
I wouldn’t say Bellucci is too old at all. That being said I guess I am a bit biased (Who wouldn’t want to see her getting around in the Wonder Woman garb
)
