Who should direct the WONDER WOMAN movie?

Hi everybody!
He's a LETHAL WEAPON behind the camera. He's a MAN WITHOUT A FACE in his last two movies. He can dance the APOCALYPTO. Some say he has an Oscar-winning BRAVEHEART for having directed THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.
Mel Gibson has given actress Sophie Marceau her best role in BRAVEHEART. Including Monica Bellucci in THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST proved a wicked-good choice. The birthing scene in an underground pool in APOCALYPTO is one of the most radical depictions of a woman's role in the world in my memory.
Every time that Gibson goes behind the camera he goes for it full throttle. He truly puts his actresses through their paces. The scale and scope of BRAVEHEART is equal to any epic of the last 15 years. Hollywood still has not forgiven him for the wild success of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.
As I have written a book on Pocahontas, I love that APOCALYPTO takes place just before the arrival of Captain John Smith and crew in Jamestown.
WONDER WOMAN needs a director who will leap through a window and land like a cat on the sidewalk, below. The WONDER WOMAN movie will show actions that have never been depicted before on screen, simply because the stunts are being done by a woman.
I am persuaded by his movies that Mel Gibson wants to do movies that no one has attempted before, that his sensibility will make WONDER WOMAN resonate with power and daring. Reteaming him with legendary cinematographer Caleb Deschanel; who worked with him on THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST; will make the WONDER WOMAN movie a thing of beauty.
As we open the WONDER WOMAN movie with Athena (Lena Olin) emerging from the skull of Zeus (Max Von Sydow) to claim her birthright of lightning, the audience will know that it is in good hands with Gibson! Woo woo!
Tomorrow, more goodies! Be good!
