Meet Wonder Woman, AKA Gal Gadot.

With every new bit of information, the sequel to Man of Steel sounds more and more like a possible prequel to a Justice League movie.  As if Superman wasn’t enough of a draw, Warner Brothers and Zack Snyder added Batfleck to set up a potential World’s Finest-style Batman Versus Superman movie.  Now, I guess because they want to have a back-door pilot to a full superhero team-up movie to rival Marvel’s brilliant The Avengers, Warner Brothers and DC are adding yet another superhero to the mix.  Gal Gadot, an actress, model, and former Miss Israel 2004, has been cast as Wonder Woman in the Batman Versus Superman movie.

You may recognize Gal Gadot from Fast and Furious 5 and 6, assuming you paid attention to things not car chases in those films.  Amazingly, Wonder Woman has never been seen on the big screen; a rebooted TV show was attempted in 2011, but never made it past the pilot stage.  Probably because she didn’t get to use her modern-looking costume.  Either way, she’s coming to a multiplex near you soon, assuming Zack Snyder has something to say about it.

“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe,” said director Zack Snyder, in a statement. “Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role.  We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
