Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2017) – Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) While it appears Warner Bros is looking for a female director for their live-action Wonder Woman movie, there are plenty of reasons why it’s a mistake.

We hope a woman does direct the movie since it would be cool, but there’s one woman out there that disagrees. Lexi Alexander, who directed Punisher: War Zone (2008), is one of the directors rumored to be on WB’s…
