Many decades have to past to see the first cinematic incarnation of one of the biggest fictional characters in history. Now the world can see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the upcoming “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” (in theaters May 6, 2016).

I still have my reservations about this casting, performance wise, but this image looks great. There are people pointing out similarities to Xena’s costume but among the available choices (silly blue, red and white combination, or sober “Greek” armor) they went with the right one.

Later today, at the Warner Bros. panel, the director appeared in front of the Hall H crowd to say that they are working on the comic-book adaptation and to present a teaser. Here is a description of the brief video shown twice to the rabid fans (via /Film):

“The short teaser opens with Batman in a full armor suit from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Glowing eyes, very mechanical, it’s pouring rain He pulls down a lever on something and we realize it’s the Bat Signal. It has the new Batman logo (reminiscent of the one from Miller’s comic). The camera slowly pans up to reveal the signal projected in the air but right in the middle of it: Superman. He’s illuminated in the sky among the pouring rain with his red glowing eyes. Cut back to Batman, staring right back at Superman with his blue glowing eyes and we cut to the logo.”

After that, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gadot too the stage. Here are a couple of photos of the super trinity (via Twitter):

Earlier this week, a new photo of Affleck as the cape crusader was made public as part of a mural celebrating Batman’s 75th anniversary:
