I found this helpful graphic on reddit, of all places, from a person who appears to have done some disturbingly thorough research:



I haven't seen a similar chart for Gadot, though admittedly she probably had fewer than a dozen lines in Dawn of Justice. Still, ol' Hank got millions and millions for reciting a handful of words and posing in his blue suit for two movies that no one likes.

Gadot knocked it out of the park and engaged in actual conversational dialog and onscreen chemistry. Her agent better add a few zeros in front of the decimal the next time around.
