Has there not been a African-American action hero lead? Berry as Catwoman was a bomb, and she is accomplished as an actress. This very talented singer/dancer would destroy the franchise due to her lack of ability on the silver screen.

If this movie has to be made it either has to be Jolie or Hathaway. Jolie maybe tired of the genre and Hathaway may not be able to pull it off either. At least the costume would be fun to look at.

I was going to say I once had a dream that Beyonce was going to give me a blow job, and just at the moment she was about to apply her lips to my manly staff of life I woke up, and should I have been grossed out or severly disappointed, but merely reading

"Eggs. Through urethras."

just gave me a severe pain in the pants.

Jolie or Hathaway

Anne Hathaway?!?

I could sooner see Miss Jane Hathaway in that role...

See, this is because Beyonce HAS NO SOUL.

Not soul as in "soul sista", I mean literally no spiritual consciousness. That whole Sasha Fierce thing isn't diva; its her soul fighting to return to her body in violation of whatever hellish pact her mother made.

What? You people come up with a better explanation for how that "House of Dereon" crap is successful.

Yeah she probably shouldn't make movies. But she is really really ridiculously goodlooking. That video with her and Shakira! I'm quite mad for cock, but when I saw that I really wasn't sure anymore.

Oh no. Obama is going to be the next victim of Beyonceitis. That bitch won't let anyone be more successful than her.

Is that a picture of Tyra Banks?

I like Sasha Fierce way better than Beyonce (if for no other reason than I support the cultivation of multiple personalities - makes the world that much more interesting). Beyonce might not be up to the challenge of playing Wonder Woman, but maybe Sasha is? She DID wear a bionic hand the other day.

Does anyone read enough Wonder Woman to pick a solid story they could adapt to a film? Or even a solid nemesis? Maybe if it worked as an ode to Greek Mythology and she was ripping up some Minotaurs and Harryhausian skeletons. I only know her within the context of Justice League but I kinda think it'd be a good idea.

her franchise has survived the hilarity of the Lasso of Truth and the invisible plane, it can probably handle Beyonce.

No, no it can't.

Camel Joe needs to blast some baby batter in Beyowulf so she can sit the fuck down for five minutes.

Aha Vermillion! Yesterday you were all knowing on all things Cheetah Girls and today, you seem to be an expert on Beyonce and her different personalities.

See this? This is me pointing and laughing. ;)

"...and Mrs. Keaton from 'Family Ties'"

??????

Wow, I was getting really excited up until that point. I mean, mayonnaise, midgets, jumper cables - what's not to like? But bringing Mrs. Keaton into it...that's just dirty.

And it's real.

So real.

Can you dig it?

To Jay and Optimus Rhyme:

I'll dig it, but only if I can be a Lizzie.

Waaaaarrrrrriiioooorrssss, Come out to PlAAAaaayYY.

Also, could Aisha Tyler be Wonder Woman over Beyonce? I mean, she's cute and an amazon.

I've got soul, and I'm Super Bad.
(And I have a paper due at 4 which would explain my increased activity in these comment sections.)

Anne Hathaway as Wonder Woman?

I like Anne Hathaway as much as the next person. I mean, how can you hate on a chick who purposely transitions to an "adult role" by showing her titties to a gay cowboy? In any case though, something about her smile bothers me. She looks normal until her face starts to try and express joy, at which point it looks like she transforms into a retarded baby. I don't really know specifically why I feel that way... Maybe her teeth are too far apart or her eyes are set too wide. Either way, when she smiles I wanna slap a padded helmet on her and feed her purple juicy juice drink boxes until she "makes a tinkle in her nappy."

Does that mean model Megan Gale lost the gig? They probably figured out that she couldn't act.

Kimora Lee Simmons as Wonder Woman? Better.

I.........I.............

Oh, figgy, we can get back together now! Thank godtopus! I've missed you terribly. And the dog.

I think Cindy's right with the unknown woman idea. I think that's a much better way to go than the stunt-casting. That's just begging for trouble. I'm certain sure that there are plenty of good, unknown actresses, of all colors, in HWood just waiting for something like this. How about giving it to someone worthy?

If Christina Hendricks signs on as Wonder Woman, I know of one Wonder Woman fan who won't be wearing pants at the premiere.

I would knock her down in front of the pope and my grandmother and ravish her like a sailor on shore leave.

Just so we are clear here:

Wonder Woman ain't about "girl power," brains, pseudosapphic-feminism or any of that post-hipster touchy feely crap.

It's about TITS and ASS....and invisible airplanes.

Let's get someone from the porn industry all up in this bitch.

Waaaaarrrrrriiioooorrssss, Come out to PlAAAaaayYY.

Hells yes! There's never a bad time for a reference to The Warriors. Thanks for making me smile, Kayanne.

I'm sorry I meant America, I'm trying my best to stop from laughing at Kayanne's comment.

No more true now than it was back then. To say that women's rights as expressed in the story and comic over the years has degraded is both incorrect and shortsighted given the history of the women's lib movement. Simply put, discussions of "female empowerment" are always fundamentally linked to the decision of women to take hold of their own sexuality and by proxy their ability to use sex as a form of power. It's a dichotomy for the ages. Yes women are powerful and independant, but it is through the manipulation of man's baser desires for their nekkid bodies that this power is exercised. Sexism and feminism are closer than most people realize.

Does the fact that Wonder Woman bonerizes me make her less of a Feminist heroine? Not at all, in fact, a powerful and capable woman that I am still turned on by is the epitome of feminism. I can appreciate her femininity as well as her ability to ass-kick without having to chose one over the other.

Incredibly reductionist? Yep, but it's what I remember of my discussions of Madonna (the pop "star") as a post-modern feminist hero.

And way way darker than Beyonce.

What's that mean?

Did you SEE Austin Powers 3? Beyonce has a need to giggle and highlight her hair through everything. She's like Mariah Carrey. She wants to make everything CUTE. Gina Torres knows where her dark place is, and that makes for a good Wonder Woman.

Ohhhh, oh okay.

I was gonna say, yeah, Halle Berry did not look dark enough to play equatorial queen Storm...but what the hell's that got to do with a Mediterranean character?

HA! semantics.

All I can think of is:

Bed, Bath & Beyonce

Oh, Godtopus, bucdaddy I just about died laughing. Now I'm gonna remember that every time she shows up somewhere.

AvB YAY! the dog missed you, too. Wouldn't stop whining all night about how mean I was. But I pledged on the DVD releases thread to never mention Whedon again, and to not break any more hearts this way.

Also, this whole thing just seems to be another ridiculous claim by Bed-Bath-and-Beyonce's recent fame whoring ways. She also said she wants to sing at Obama's inauguration. Blargh.

Maria Menounos cannot act. Have you watched her on award shows and that terrible show "One Tree Hill"?

Gina Torres could work, but i'm too cynical to believe a studio would allow her to do it.

Paula Patton perhaps could pan out, but i'm not 100% convinced she can act. Her characters didn't do all that much in 'Deja Vu' or 'Hitch', not her fault but those trite scripts.

Now I;m not a fan of Beyonce's but...she's had this Sasha Fierce thing for years now. Actually since Destiny's Child and has mentioned it multiple times in shit tons of interviews (I read a lot of ladies magazines...shut up) and all of a sudden everyone is like WTF?

Anywho, no no no, Miss Beyonce, you cannot act. Leave the movies to other competent people. Angelina Jolie is too obvious of a choice. Anne Hathaway has Droopy eyes (it had to be said and now you will notice it every time you see her). An unknown would be lovely and it would be cool as hell if they did a black lady. I know some real dark African-looking Greek people in Berkeley. Freaked me out at first because I assumed they were black and then they started speaking in their admittedly awesome language.
