Congratulations to Israeli actress Gal Gadot, for being cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Superman-Batman flick.
And she might just need to be somewhat of a wonder woman to put up with the criticism being leveled at her.
Amazingly enough, at least at the time of this post, the criticism is not coming from the antismitic and anti-Israel crowd, but rather the comic book purists.
Gal Gadot is perfect for WW once she bulks up and eats a sandwich

For one Gal Gadot has the body of a child not a warrior — Yuki Cross (@LittleKenobi) December 4, 2013
Not meant to be body shaming but #wonderwoman is an Amazon not a model. Am I alone in wanting an more athletic hero? http://t.co/PdJzd4liFm — Meghan Sekone-Fraser (@mhgaab) December 4, 2013
I cannot believe that Gal Gadot is playing #wonderwoman in Batman vs Superman. Completely the wrong actress to play an amazonian #rage

As well as the odd pedant.
Gadot, a former model and Miss Israel, tweeted: “Wonder Women! So exciting!!! Can’t express how happy I am :))))”
Her first job; To know the actual name of the character she’s playing..
(The offending tweet seems to have since been taken down).
Tough crowd!
