"Stop a bullet cold, make the Axis fold"

Oh, hell no:

Herbie: Fully Loaded star Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Wonder Woman in the forthcoming movie version of the comic book superhero. The 19-year-old Freaky Friday actress admits she'd like to showcase her talents outside of kid and teen films, but feels the role would be too fun to turn down. She says, "Wonder Woman would be cool. I'm trying to find roles right now that are different to anything I've done to show my abilities, to show that I have some sort of stretch in me. Because most of the things that I've done so far are aimed at younger girls and are light-hearted."

Yeah, starring in Wonder Woman will really elevate that age demographic.

There have been almost as many actresses rumored to be in the running for this as there were actors for the role of James Bond, among them Salma Hayek, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Connelly, and Jennifer Lopez. Lohan would, I think, be a worse choice than just about any of these.

Except maybe Jennifer Lopez.

I sincerely hope Joss Whedon and company don't take her seriously, and not just because she seems to have confused "Amazon" with "Anorexic."

Though it would pain me to do so, I am not above banning my own father.

Wouldn't sending Whedon into low-earth orbit solve the underlying problem?

I can't see Whedon bringing her on, but if Warners decides this is going to be a "franchise" (like I assume they will) there's no telling how much they'll muck around with the film. My kids will crush them if they screw it up.

Plus, WW shouldn't be a used redhead in black dye. Just my opinion.
