Variety is reporting that Israeli actress Gal Gadot will play
Wonder Woman in the upcoming “Man of Steel” sequel, which may or
may not be called “Batman vs. Superman.” (Warner Bros. has
registered a bunch of domains referring to titles other than
“Batman vs. Superman.) Gadot, best known for small parts in the
“Fast and Furious” franchise, has confirmed it as well.  This
should be good news, right? After all, I’m on record calling for
Wonder Woman to be in the movies ASAP. And given that we’re
living in the age of Katniss Everdeen and Merida, another strong
female hero can be nothing but positive, right?  Well, I’m not
so sure. I’d call this mixed at best. It’s unquestionably more
than past time that Wonder Woman be given the big screen movie
treatment, but when I called for her to appear on the big
screen, I wanted her to have HER OWN MOVIE. No matter how
significant Gadot’s role in the movie ends up being, she’s still
getting at least third billing
