I personally think that she would make a great Wonder Woman as well. She and Susan Ward would probably be my top choices as they are both great actresses, and look a lot like WW.
They're eating us!

She's pretty to look at, but I don't see her as a kick ass Amazonian Woman, and Susan Ward!?, she's somewhere between 5'3" or 5'4". I would at least expect the woman they cast to have arms like Linda Hamilton did in Terminator 2, she looked like she could kick ass. I keep seeing post that these actresses look like Wonder Woman, and they're missing the point of the story Wonder Woman beats out a bunch of other Amazon's to get the title of Wonder Woman she's suppose to be the best in skill, and combat. I think a strong physical presence as well as looks and most importantly acting ability.
Besides Marvel has stepped things up a notch with the people they've been casting in comic book movies. DC hasn't had that kind of star power or acting ability in their films. I only looked at this page because I saw a rerun of Law and Order: CI, and I didn't remember her from her other Law and Order appearances, Spike Lee films are hit and miss with me. The Blair Witch Movie? didn't see it, I saw the first film and they should have left well enough alone considering how they wanted to do two more films after the first one, and the one she's in didn't do too well. -

No offense, but do you think before you post? Just because she doesn't have the physique of an Amazon in her normal life doesn't mean she can't workout. Linda Hamilton wasn't buff before she did T2. She got that way specifically for the role. Ed Norton out on 20lbs of muscle for American History X. That wasn't his nature state. She has what can't be acquired - the look and stature.

Well if they're not casting a amazon woman why would Wonder Woman be called an Amazon. She's short, she won't be cast, and if they make the movie they'll more than likely cast a young woman in her mid 20's.
Norton, and Downey were cast in there roles and were age appropriate for their roles as Bruce Banner, and Anthony Stark, but as people have stated Downey is being considered to plat Le'Stat in a reboot of Interview with a Vampire, the character is suppose to be in his early 20's, Downey is a good actor but even he can't play an immortal twenty something vampire, if that's the case they might as well re-cast Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise back in those roles.
Ms. Director will 32 this year, and if they started filming next year she'd be coming up on 33, these films usually go with ab68 three picture contract, given the way they film these movies which is about two years apart or longer depending on the actors schedule, do the math. I've seen over two dozen female actors that people are suggesting on this site including Megan Fox, Katie McGrath who is currently playing Morgana on the television series Merlin, time is not on a female actors side. The Wonder Woman movie is still only a development project tentatively scheduled for 2011 which would put her at 34, a three year commitment contract? I don't really care who they cast for Wonder Woman never read the comic, and only saw a few episodes of the series. Who ever it is I wish them well, I'm not planning on seeing the movie if and when it gets made.
Except for Batman DC hasn't had done very well lately with making their comic book creations transfer to the big screen.
Cathy Lee Crosby was cast in the first Wonder Woman on television in 1974 she was 30 and 5'7" and in excellent shape having been a former semi-pro tennis player, when they decided to do the series a year later they went with Lynda Carter who was 24 and 5'10".
I think before I post, I was giving my opinion, which the last time I checked, I live in a free country and can state my opinion freely. If you have a problem with my opinion then it's your problem not mine. I do not have a problem with other people's post, they're giving their opinion or is this not a message board?
With her being a curvier female actor than most Hollywood female actors, I'm surprised she not on the series Mad Men.

Dude almost put up a decent argumentwhy did you have to mention Cathy Lee Crosby's Wonder Woman? Okay I get it, you used her as an example for her physique, but the 1970s was a different time and place now, many 30 somethings still look like they're in their 20s; Kim included. She(Crosby) didnt even look the part. Wondy until that film wasnt blond. But hey, the new film is so far off, why not suggest women who look similar to Wonder Woman or Lynda Carter at least, like Christopher Reeve in Superman Carter looked like she stepped off the comic book pages.

I haven't seen her in anything but Inside Man and that blair witch sequel but, still I think you're absolutely right. She certainly looks the part. She's tall, beautiful, stunning really.
If there's ever a WW movie, let's hope she gets the part. -

Even though she has a similar appearance to Wonder Woman, her face just looks too "bad girl" to me. She doesn't have the aura of innocence that Wonder Woman is supposed to have. Every time I look at her, the first thing that comes to my mind is "super-villainess" not "super-heroine". If she wears the Wonder Woman costume, she'll seem more like her evil imposter, lol! Perhaps if they have her fight her psycho doppelganger Superwoman, then maybe it will work. Superwoman's costume would definitely look sexy on Kim, that's for d a m n sure.
