The Twitterverse was abuzz this week with the selection of Israeli actress Gal Gadot as the new Wonder Woman in the Man of Steel II movie (working title: Superman vs. Batman). The movie is shaping up to be a Justice League movie, the problem I have with such movies is that they usually suck (Avengers being a notable exception), simply because there are too many characters.



The groups for the World Cup have been picked, the US got hosed with a really difficult group (US, Ghana, Portugal, Germany). I'd be surprised if we move on to round-of-16, of stranger things have happened.
