The "Batman vs. Superman" hype has spread to all aspects of the DC Universe, including the voice actress of a fan favorite female heroine who is excited to see one character in particular on the big-screen.
In a recent interview with The Mary Sue, the voice of Wonder Woman in the video game "DC Universe Online" Susan Eisenberg recently revealed her thoughts about Gal Gadot playing the live action version in the "Man of Steel 2" production.
"I'm not that familiar with Ms. Gadot's work, but I can say this: I'm thrilled that Wonder Woman will be in a movie," Eisenberg told The Mary Sue. "I hope it's the beginning of a lot more screen time for the character and for her stories, and I hope that Ms. Gadot succeeds wildly in the role because if she does, we'll get to see more."
"There is a lot of pressure on her to do well, but the truth is the character of Wonder Woman will endure whether it's in this project or future ones," Eisenberg added. "As magnificently as an actor can embody these characters/superheroes, ultimately they exist as their own creations, and will continue to be in comic books, cartoons, television, film, and whatever medium comes next!"
Eisenberg also commented on Wonder Woman's role in the comic book world, how important she is to the DC Universe and what the female superhero represents over all.
"She's utterly beloved for reasons that are tangible and intangible," she said. "Clearly, she's a woman of high moral standards with an unflinching determination to stand up for what she believes in. I think in all times, but especially darker times, there's a great need for characters like her because it gives people a sense that there is some goodness in the world."
"What's incredibly gratifying today is how far comic books and cartoons have moved into the mainstream," Eisenberg said later in her interview with The Mary Sue. "And so from a niche industry that still struggles in some places, a louder voice has emerged, and it belongs to the fans, and the illustrators, and the artists, and the techies, and the composers, and the cosplayers, and the geeks. And the louder it gets, the more it'll be heard."
"Batman vs. Superman" will be released to theaters on May 6, 2016.
