Wonder Woman Casting Continues...

Though it sounds a bit like a foregone conclusion, I have a hard time seeing her as much more than a stately clothes horse who is five foot seven and on the thin side, as far as body type. I've seen her look good, and regal, and whatnot, and she can be dressed up well. I think she also can act well, as evidenced in Firefly. But I do not recall much where she showed a great deal of athletic prowess.

Can someone point me to something, perhaps a scene in something I saw but apparently missed, where she looks like she could go toe-to-toe with physical villains (despite the assertion that her power lies in her magical prowess as much as her physical ability)? Something where she shows she can kick some ass like Jennifer Garner or nimbly throw her body around like Halle Berry or Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Okay, setting aside our comic-book image of her, are Amazons historically taller by today's standard?

If the [hidden] land of the Amazons have parallel cultural and technological development as the rest of the world -- including medicine -- would they have abolish some of their barbaric practice of ... how to say this humanely ... keep the healthy baby, kill the weak?
