    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8804 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    I find this to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long, long, long, while. I am not racist at all. And in fact, this isn't even a race issue. The issue is this: Wonder Woman is white in the comics.

    What if Will Smith decided he wanted to play Batman?

    What if Brad Pitt wanted to play Luke Cage?

    What if Natalie Portman wanted to play Wasp?

    It's ridiculous! I hate when Hollywood decides to gank and tear up the movies just to be politically correct. What do I have to say?

    I agree, stick to the comics. 

    Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin.  I like him as an actor, but he should not have been Kingpin.

    The entire Daredevil movie was a casting nightmare.

    Wonder woman is not from the geographical region of amazon, she's from an island in the Greek archipelago.

    Your being racist. So we can't have a black wonder woman. Why ?. The characters are merely that characters,  the only thing that count here  is that the personality of the character is maintained. In that respect we can interpret wonder woman as being White,Black, Asian, Hispanic and any other ethnicity I may have left out. Also the person playing must have a good bod that's the only criteria. Last time I check race did not define someones character.

    No one is being racist. There is absolutely no reason to randomly change a character's race. Or to cast someone as horrible as Beyonce in a leading role in a major DC project.

    What so random of making wonder woman black ?

    DC has created a multiverse are you telling me that in all of them wonder woman must always 100% be white. Now that shows racism if you believe so. This film could merely by a multiverse where she is in fact black.

    If you don't like Beyonce I accept that choice of yours but hey it's hollywood they tend to re-use actors a lot especially the ones that are popular.

    What is random about making Wonder Woman black? What ISN'T random about that? A character that has been depicted as white since her creation being made into a black character. It makes absolutely no sense. If it was the other way around, you would say that was racism because they were making a black character white.

    Actually no I have no complaint about the race of wonder woman. What i have a problem with is people getting all upset just because they didn't cast a white person to play wonder woman. I rather have a black person playing wonder woman that portrays her well than a white person that doesn't.  It's kinda sad that people  are reacting just cus she wasn't cast by a white person.

    I disagree with you, Just because people don't want a black woman to portray a white character doesn't automatically mean they're racist.  I'm sure everyone would be complaining if they hired a blonde instead of a black haired woman for the act.

    If you look at the thread starters first post when they were listing examples for roles of real world people for comic book characters as sort of a rant not one of them were of the same ethnicity. This cleanly shows that the thread starter has a problem with ethnicity than with the actual person playing.

    DC created the multiverse where the characters can be of any shape and size and form. I bring back the point thay  why can't this movie storyline be based in a world where wonder woman is black hell I don't even have a problem if she is blond as long as the story is good and characters  are portrayed well  that's all that matters.

    For the record, no one has been cast to play Wonder Woman at (well Lynda Carter played her on the TV show; she was white). Not Beyonce, or a white woman. I don't even think DC has announced a Wonder Woman movie, let alone cast it.
