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.
" And thus another film to join Electra and Catwoman in the hall of female superhero epic fails."
You know, as much as I hate to say it...female superheroes never seem to be able to get one single decent movie made about them. Maybe they should give up and leave it to the men!
OK How about a White Black Panther? Or Blade? C Diaz as Storm At times it isnt isnt about the color but being true to the material. I like Will Smith but he wasn't James West. A bad choice is a bad choice.
@Babs: It's not the first time I hear about this, I wonder if this time is for real...
For me as long as she can act, I'm alright!
Well to be 100% honestly I'm very septic she got what it takes, as Diana is a special and peculiar character can be very easily misinterpreted if one doesn't know her character very well.
Then again Beyoncé have been surprising me with the whole "I Am… Sasha Fierce" thing and playing a lead role in the "Obsessed" movie and all.... by the way have anybody seen any of her movies, how's her acting skills??? – Because I really don’t know o_O
WONDER WOMAN HAS A LOOK THAT GENERATIONS HAVE COME TO KNOW..GREEK, STATUESQUE, ICONIC..NOT A RACIAL THING..SHE AWSOME, I LOVE HER SEXY LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER GUY..BUT NOT WONDER WOMAN..THIS IS "DOMINO EFFECT"..EXAMPLE=CATWOMAN-LETS MAKE A CATWOMAN MOVIE, LETS CHANGE HER RACE, HALLE BERRY, PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT, IF THEY'LL LOVE THAT LETS GIVE HER CAT POWER-ITS NOT IN THE COMICS BUT IF WE CAN CHANGE RACE WE CAN CHANGE ABILITIES, PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT, LETS CHANGE HER NAME, HER NAME IS SELENA KYLE IN THE BOOKS BUT HEY IF WE CHANGE RACE, ABILITIES,NAMES..HISTORY, PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT..."DOMINO EFFECT".
First of all, I'm sad to see that I was right about eight posts up from the one I type right now.
With that said, let's call a double standard a double standard: if fans won't embrace a white character being played by a woman of color (WHICH SHE ISN'T: THE STORY'S A FAKE!), then it's racist. But if we were told tommorrow that Triple H from the WWE is playing Luke Cage in a movie, it'd be racist to cast a white man as a black character. You just can't have it both ways.
This is worse than hearing that Santa Clause doesn't exist. It's like hearing he has a brother named Jeff that takes polaroids of the children Santa leaves presents for...
@Green Skin: And there will be another 50 or so comments of people who can't read treating it like it's true and completely ignoring your post, too. I thought people who read comic books actually....you know.....read.
Too much fun to get worked up over to ignore, I guess.
...........no......just plain and simple, Beyonce will make a horrible Wonder Woman, I have never boycotted a DC movie in my life, but I will boycott this one if it stars her as the title role

DC is all about the fail-bombs when it comes to movies aren't they? we need to organize people. it's time to raze Warner Brothers Studios much like the villagers did the windmill when they came for Frankenstein.
I think Wonder Woman deserves a live action movie finally. Have they really done anything with her since Linda Carter? But DC better be careful with how they do it. I adore Beyonce, but I don't see her in this part. Sorry, B.
" Hey look two people who could actually pull it off!

NOW WE'RE TALKIN!!!! Robin from How I Met Your Mother = A+ in my book. Wouldn't mind running into her Lasso of Truth, if y'know what I mean......Do you know what I mean?
Ohh, Like a shot to the kidneys this news. Whether not Bonce can act is debatable (I remember her getting on my tits in Goldmember, mind you, so did Mike Myers as Austin Powers) but whether or not she can play Wonder Woman... that's a bit of a big grey area. On a side note, any else see her as a younger version of Tina Turner? Right down to the crap dancing. Maybe its just me.

Not to be rude, but you should slow down, spell check, read over what you've written and make sure it makes sense, and then you can go about calling us racists :D I mean I'm with ya, lets make Wonder Woman black cause Beyonce is the baddest bitch in entertainment. I mean, cant argue with logic like that. I think if they make a movie about Obama they should get John Mayer to play him. That dude is blowing up.
uh !! my bad i was in a rush i had to get my hair did !!!so let me sum it up people! people should not juss be lookin at her race they she be lookin at the whole package im one of those people who will be first to say beyonce actin skills aint all there but like i said before she ,got the attitude ,the body,and the look .come on people wonder woman is not white she's an amazon. hell she made out of sand or clay or whateva !!!!!!!!
I have to highly disagree with that, to make the biggest known woman superheroine somebody of different ethinticity than what she actually is, is really stupid honestly. No to be racist or anything, but its like picking Will Smith to star as Superman; it just wouldn't seem right, end of story.
