I would like to preface this entry with a note that from the RP side of things, it's hilarious to me when things I've RPed become almost canon. More about that below

I have mixed emotions about that Amanda Waller casting.
On the one hand, Pam Grier. That's always a plus.
On the other hand, the PERFECT person to play Waller in live-action is the one who's ALREADY been playing her in cartoon form for years - CCH Pounder.
On the gripping hand, I'm not sure that Pam Grier should be playing Amanda Waller simply because I shouldn't be having sexual fantasies about Amanda Waller.
But Pam's not been getting enough work - and I want to see her take on Waller. Can't we have both? Although clearly this is a case where a heavy character is going to be slimmed down by the casting, because Pam, last time I checked, was tall and not shaped like a football. (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Amanda Waller - and it'd be awesome if they'd cast her with a weight-appropriate actress.)
I don't think CCH Pounder is all that robust, either. (The Wall is built like, well, like a wall. Or a brick house. Cammryn Mannheim/Queen Latifah size, really)

So I'm conflicted.
