Bleeding Cool reports that those behind "Batman vs. Superman" are seeking an actress is being sought in her late 20s of all ethnicities. The key emphasis is that she has to be tall and "physically capable of going toe-to-toe with The Dark Knight".
As a result, talent agencies have been submitting actors for this role under the belief that they are submitting candidates who would also be suitable in the Wonder Woman role.
Studio suits are neither confirming or denying the reports.
This is in line with earlier noise that the production is seeking is a love interest for the Dark Knight in the film. The Type? A woman in their late 20s of any ethnicity. They specified at the time that she be tall and "possess physicality".

Meantime, the film's writer David S. Goyer chatted with the Associated Press and revealed that the film is "a bit a further along than what I think people realize."
He goes on to talk about fan expectation and its impact on the creative process:
"From a fan point of view, we're conscious of that when you're working on these things, but you can't let yourself be paralyzed by that. At the end of the day, you still have to create something. And if you try and think, 'Well what would the fans like?' then you stop being creative. It’s sort of like, 'Where does it end?' You have to write the story that you want to write, and hope that people want to see it."
Goyer was also asked the age old question - Batman fights Superman, who would win in a fight?
"Most comic book purists would say Batman, because he is the ultimate strategist. Even though it makes no sense whatsoever. If Superman just flicked his finger, Batman would be done for."
MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout--while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.
Those reports that suggested that the chatter about "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming movie were true have now been denied by the actor.
