I know, I know, it's been done, but I wanted to do it again since access to the archives in General is still all messed up. And it should be here anyway.
Here's my top five:
Number 5
Number 4
Number 3
Number 2
Number 1
(I dearly love whoever did that photoshop...)
As for actresses being talked about which I think should absolutely not have the role (because I can)
Lindsay Lohan (I actually think she's an okay actress, but not a badass)
Katherine McPhee (If a 
American Idol is cast I'm just not seeing the movie)
Sarah Michelle Gellar (She's 5'2")
Angelina Jolie (I like her well enough, I just can't see it.)
Jennifer Garner (I don't think she has the right look.)
So, everyone else's top and bottom picks?

Oh yes, and fun fact; Wonder Woman's sister Nubia has some very dark skin. If they're actually sisters an argument could be made that Wonder Woman should also be dark skinned but originally wasn't. Why? Well, let's not go into the fact that basically all super heroes have light skin, with very very rare exceptions...

Remember the Nathan Fillion facts thread a few months ago? I do believe Nathan will be starring as WW.
No really, I love the idea of Gina playing her.She would be perfect.And Morena would be a good choice too.There was some talk about an actress from Bollywood playing her & she was soooo beautiful.Don't know if she can act though.
I love the Gina as WW pic,although the body looks kinda fake.Y'know I still have all my WW comics. I think she helped inspire my becoming a pagan. All that Goddess mythology .

I just dont know what to think on the issue of WW's look. I know Joss was pro-original costumes when he did astonishing X-men, but I just cannot see him making a movie about a woman who embraces a different culture for the sake of her people, and then dons a bathing suit to walk around in. Joss does embrace the sexy often times, but... well this is why I'm so curious, I'm interested to see what he'll do.
As for who should play it, I'm afraid I've never seen morena in anything else, so i'm not sure how she'd fare. But I gotta admit, Gina Torres, best idea. Seriously. To hell with the 50's writers who wouldnt have been able to sell a black woman superhero, this is now and that was then, and for all the nostalgia value, I don't think it's worth requiring a white woman. But unfortunately the studio will probably require that the star be badass, white, female (rules out Nathan), and end up with black hair for the film. They can't afford to lose the people who'll go see it for its nostalgia. 
As for lows? Ugh, any well known actress that I've seen in the news or whatever.... I really hope not. None of that lindsey lohan, preferably not Garner, please no Jessica Alba (no offence meant to DA fans, she's just played too many frail helpless damsels).
My best hope, really, is for Joss to go for a virtual unknown who vaguely looks the part (to make the marketers happy) and can absolutely act her tail off, to make us and Joss happy.

Shameless bump because I refuse to kill Rose's thread.

I dunno. Remember all the outrage and complaints from comic fans when Halle Berry was cast for Catwoman?
That'll prolly be what happens if Gina Torres is WW. She's good, but not WW.

Halle Berry didn't exactly have that whole "shiong-tsan sha-sho" thing like Gina!

I've always thought Morena would make a kick ass WW, but now that you've brought up Gina... I can totally see it! Its just so hard to chose between the BDH's! Either of them would be out standing.

*shudder* I saw that photoshop of Nathan. Eurgh.
And I looked up the actress that was being talked about, the "bollywood" actress, and she was indeed beautiful, but she didn't look like Wonder Woman to me. She wouldn't be a bad choice, but I don't think she'd be the right choice. She looked too soft and girly.
Yeah, the body looks weird because it's photoshop. But still...
Wonder Woman was my hero when I was little, just because she was a Goddess-worshipping super-powered woman. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! (I still do, despite how often she gets tied up)
Jessica Alba and Shanon Elizabeth have both been talked about, but they also look a little too... girly to me. The idea doesn't make me cringe, but it doesn't make me jump for joy either.
