Beyonce Begs for Wonder Woman Role

and such an ignorant comment made by "Fearless" should not be allowed up.. I expect the moderators to take care of this quickly..

Beyonce is a lovely woman ~ however WW (Wonder Woman) is supposed to be around 5'11"-6' tall, Beyonce is 5'6", plus WW comes from a Greek heritage, the Mediterranean, and Beyonce just does not have that look. Lastly WW needs to have some muscle definition as she is a very physical character. Beyonce looks more like a fashion model than fitness model. Perhaps she can play Storm in a new X-Men movie, or Misty Knight in an Iron Fist, Luke Cage or Heroes For Hire movie, XS in a Legion of Super-Heroes movie ~ etc! Of course if she had the height and physique maybe she could play Artemis, Diana's replacement, as she is not from a direct Greek heritage. As for Fearless' derogatory statement ~ I dislike what he said, but respect his right to say it, however hateful it was. True Catwoman was not played by a Caucasian actress, but then that was not really Catwoman either, so race was not the issue in that movie ~ the story was the problem in Catwoman, not that Catwoman was played by the gorgeous Halle Berry.

I think they should just keep race to their comic book counterparts. I don't want a black person playing a white person just cuz they want to, no offense. They should stick with a white woman for Wonder Woman and I think it's silly choosing Will Smith as Captain America. I don't think it could work. I'm not racist or anything but it's as if someone decided to make a Spiderman film and getting an arabian actor to play Peter Parker...I don't think it would look right...*hides*

"And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?"


G-T-F-O. So angry that statement has me. I'm a proud voter for Obama, but this woman is just trying to milk in on his success. Besides, she can't even act. I'm so tired of singers transitioning into acting cause most of the time (and this is one) it just does not work.

Nobody here is racist for not wanting her to play Wonder Woman. Fact is, nobody wants to see a pop singer leading a huge comic book movie.

She is incredibly beautiful... but will someone please tell this crazy woman she IS not gonna be Wonder Woman. Whats wrong with all the actual dark skinned super heroes? No one wants to be Vixen, Monica Rambeau (honestly pls dont give her a movie, love captain marvels... just not that one...) or even Misty knight? "Oh, what? those characters aren't enough for a high paid actress?" ... then please step aside and let someone who wouldnt need a skin pigmentation change and a hair dying. :P

maybe if she was naked the entire movie...

Its bullshit like, why not have an Australian Blade or an Asian Doctor Strange?! Its disrespectful to the fans who keep these characters going. Plus she can not act for shit.

i cant imagine a wonder woman movie working period..but they certainly should cast someone who can act first and foremost..aside from the race issue, as stunning as beonce is , i dont think shes wonder woman stunning if that makes sense

As with other coments, I agree that Beyonce would be a horrible choice for WW because she's a horrible actress. Like Shadowelfz, i agree that for WW race doens't really matter as long as they get a good script & someone who fits the part THAT CAN ACT!!!! However, there's a great fan made pic of Megan Fox as WW at wonder-who.com

Please dont let this happen. Im no racist but Wonder Woman is white. Plus catwoman didnt turn out very good when they switch races.

I think that while we talk about how race doesn't matter us, we show innerly how it sadly matters on our own. And it's bad...
If race doesn't really matter then WW must be blue eyes, black hair and white skin, only because WW is -let's keep, preferentially, all the original forms (because they were created by the original ones-).
And I am a mediterranean brown hair and brown eyes born in España and living in Madrid (Spain/Europe) -a righty one, here, by the way, which means for you one as near to your Dems. as to your Reps-.
So: ¿must we change, from now on, everything done only because that unsubstantial mood called 'change' obligates us to do?
Our world are really damnably insane, and it is damnable sad.

But, anyway, in the same way ment before, if Beyonce is good for DC then she'll good for them -truism here-. But, in the same way ment before, Wonder Woman should be taken firstly from the original creation (which means a grecoroman one -http://www.comicbookreligion.com/char?ID=3314&Wonder_Woman_(Diana_of_Themyscira)-). So...

And let's try truely to do not create artificial wars; we just firstly know/remember who we are.
Choose 'The Right Way'; we were born in the eternal Greece's where born concepts of the freedom and the individualism, brothers ordered by the best of the Roman empire and sons of the christianity which inseminated that empire.

Refute my deepness if you want (and forgive my possible grammatical errors using english language, please), but, please, forget all those artificial wars which just only divide us in order to give forces to the Mad.

God bless all of us; sure It is wanting to bless all of us.

Take a greet (and be welcome);
Thanks.

I have always noticed Beyonce would be perfect .... as STORM! The character has a lot of potential and is very powerful (if I memory serves me right she is even revered as a God and was once a respected leader of X-men.) In fact during the Marvel-DC face-off Wonder Woman (DC) was pitted against Storm (Marvel)! Too bad for Halle Berry the X-man movies did not give much emphasize on this.

As for Wonder Woman she is always portrayed as an Amazon ergo Greek. Perhaps even as legendary South American amazon therefore native american or Latino.

The image and history of Wonder Woman is already too much well established. However I believe there are other legendary female superheroes who deserves to be shown in the big screen. I believe with the right production crew and a decent script Beyonce can establish herself as a superhero.

its because of people like you that theres very few decent non white superheroes, your an ignorant, hatefull, twisted piece of shit scumbag, and you havnt got a damn clue what your talking about. do us all a favour and kill yourself you waste of oxygen.

I am an african american and although I find some of your comments quite offensive, I too don't want to see Beyonce as Wonder Woman. I love Beyonce, but you're right Wonder Woman is Mediterranean, at best she could be played by a latina as she was in the 80s (Lynda Carter is of hispanic descent). If you made Wonder Woman black, you would also have to make Hippolyta black (wow, just went back and read some more comments, God, hate much?)

Taking a few steps back, putting my emotions asside and assessing the situation, I can see everyone's point of view…yes even fearless. But hate should never be the way to go and that goes for any race. White people should stop being racist and black people should stop being so quick to put every white person in the same racist boat. For that is also racism and just fuels the fire.

I'm a white canadian and I recently had to deal hands on with the issue of our fore-fathers and religion having abused the native american population. All though different, it is as worse as the african american slavery. But are we the great great grand children of an old mentality to blame for this? No. We were never there to commit the crime and if we were there, we were nothing but innocent children being fed our parents's ideals. How many times will we have to appologise for what happened in the last century? The answer is we should never have to. For racism to stop, all we need to do is to accept that what was done is done and can never be undone but we can make sure it doesn't ever happen again. Acceptance is the only way. Of ourselves and of history no matter how horrible it was.

As for comicbook characters, the general public will never understand that to us hard core comicbook fans, these characters are almost living breathing pieces of ourselves and have been since we were old enough to look at the pictures before we could even read the words in the comicbooks. Should we have to change pieces of our selves to please a now politically correct society? Better yet, would you change the color of your skin to please your neighbour? Should you have to change your children's skin color or your parents's just because times are a changin'? The answer to that is never in a million years. Saying that we should change already established characteristics of our beloved childhood superheroes just because society is ready for it now… is not what I call acceptance. It's being labeled a "racist" if we dissagree. It's an imposition created by fear. It's down right racism mixed with reverse psychology.

I understand the african ameraican point of view that there aren't many black superheroes. But there are good ones such as Steel, Green Lantern and War Machine. Even though I already know what you're thinking, that they're just supporting role characters, how do we fix that problem? Should we have to change our already well established superheroes's characteristics? No. We create new great main role super heroes such as Black Panther, Spawn, Static X and Blade. Even though they might not have an as long history behind them, that's a tiny fact that we all have to accept. Why should we, the hard core comicbook fans, have to pay because our childhood superheroes were created in a more racist society then our actuall one? The answer is we shouldn't. No one should pay for mistakes done by others. Black people should be proud of the fact that they were able to see on the big screen Spawn as well as three Blade movies before anyone even thought of making a Captain America movie to put on the big screen! That is HUGE!!! The one that was made was only a C movie. They should celebrate that instead of focussing all they're energy to make people change they're historical pillars. Acceptance from all will be our only hope of uniting as one single human race. The change has to be done by each and everyone for it to matter.

Guys… I get your point. She "begged" for the role saying "it's time for that now". Which just shows to us that she is not a comicbook fan therefore she cannot possibly understand. Even though you do have the right to hate her music and to have an opinion about her skin color or anything else for that matter, the hate that you attach to your opinions will only hurt yourselves in the end. Why would you hate her for wanting the same thing that we all dream about which is to star as a super hero on the big screen? Deep down we all want that for our selves and we can't blame her to use her stardom to try and realise her dream. I think we'd all do the same in her place. Mabey if she read this thread, she'd probably better understand the issue at hand. I'm pretty sure she had no idea of the uproar she would cause with her actions in regards to the fans. The same could be said for Cher wanting the Catwoman role. Whether it's a rumour or not, deep down I'm sure she'd jump on the offer to still be concidered a sex simbol at her age.

Thanks Talonn2001 for the support. I'll atest that Chris Rock hit a bull's eye dead on with that one. And as for the president, it's normal for all the hype to happen but it will die down in a few weeks where people will put that aside and focus more on what he will do to fill that position. It is a job after all and his actions in the next 4 years will determine if americans were right to choose him. In regards to his politics, it's not a bad start if he retrieve's the soliders out of there. Oil is simply not worth dying for.

Why do singers seem to think they can act?

I whent to check her out and she does look the part... But i'd like to see a "woman" as wonder woman and not just a young cutie. A beautifull mature hunk of a woman like Chyna except beautifull and that has a nice voice and that can act... too tall of an order? Hell we're talking about wonder woman here, not wonder cheerleader. "Look at me daddy, i'm ropin'up myself some criminals!"
