    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.

    Offended? What's to get offended for? I hope you don't say because she is black. Then I'll get offended. "
    I think the offense has to do with not staying true to the character (ethnicity included) any other ethnicity would get the same response.  I am sure that the black community of comic fans would be offended if spawn, luke cage, or black panther were given silver screen treatment only to be portrayed by an actor that was not black.  "

    She's depicted as white\greek but she's technically not a woman or even a person for that matter. "

    @geodoc: Selma Hayek, Catherine Zeta Jones, Angelina Jolie, Jen Aniston just to name a few good actresses, I think the biggest problem with most comic book adaptions the directors and producers go for looks over ability. I would rather have someone who can give a great performance and sacrifice a little on the look, then go for 100% look and horrible acting.

    e_e why Warner Brothers??? Why??? *sighs* 
     
    If this is true (hope to dear god that it isn't) then this is basically Warner Brothers saying "we've given up." and just riding on the (apparent) popularity of this annoying R&B tart.

    I think the offense has to do with not staying true to the character (ethnicity included) any other ethnicity would get the same response.  I am sure that the black community of comic fans would be offended if spawn, luke cage, or black panther were given silver screen treatment only to be portrayed by an actor that was not black.  "

     Seriously, this is valid. If you turned the tables and cast white actors to play black characters, there would be an uproar. They've done this with Kingpin, Catwoman, Nick Fury (although "Ultimates" started that one), and enough is enough.  I think Beyonce is beautiful and she's a talented singer, but she isn't a fit for Wonder Woman. Bottom line. Period.
     
    Hey, I want to see the WWE wrestler Batista to play Luke Cage.  I think Johnny Depp would make a good Bishop in the next X-Men movie, too. Hey, if you don't like it don't tell me it's because he's white, because then I'll be offended. (see the absurdity now?)
     
     
    Anyway, this is nothing but a rumor from a site where someone seems to be pulling it out of their backside. I have searched the internet and seen NOTHING about this anywhere else. If it was true it would be a story somewhere else.

    @Vance Astro: I see your point Vance, and I was only joking about Biel and Ali definitely doesn't fit the part. The worst part about Jolie her huge status, it stops being a Wonder Woman movie and starts being an Angelina Jolie movie.
     
    And the point I am trying to make is that to much emphasis is put on the look of an actor or actress instead of their talent.

    When did she get acting lessons? I have never seen her in anything but that Austin Powers movie where she held her own because everyone stunk in their performances.
     
    If this is true, I need some producers names and schedule of their daily activities...

    It's not because she's black because lord knows when you switch the characters races it's never a Fail(I.E. Micheal Clark Duncan as King Pin in Daredevil). We all know that Daredevil was a great movie lol.......B just can't act at all. I've seen every movie shes been in and she sucks hardcore. I'm talking Big Floppie Donkey Wang. Hell, that movie she did with L.L. Cool J she made him look like a oscar winner. I just feel that if she gets it the movie would be just as good as if Megan Foxx got the role a hugely Epic Fail. Come theres plenty of better actresses out there of every color.

    @Hadez:  Yeah really. People are acting like if Miley Cyrus or some other white/brown/yellow/whatever talentless singer snagged the role we'd all be okay with this. No. Don't make this an issue it isn't.

    No, simply no, that's like having Ben Stiller play Luke Cage, it doesn't fit! Plus she has no acting talent and she can't carry a movie like that. Hell, most the people that would see a Wonder Women movie are people that are on this site and look at the back lash of even the thought of it.
