Blacks were still being lynched. So here in 2009 there is still a problem because beyonce is not a good actress well there are good black actresses. Stop bringing up halle and catwoman blame the writer and director. And catwoman was played by 2 actresses in the 60's one being black Eartha Kitt. Why don't you all talk about jenn garner absolute horror superhero movie electra(ugh) And what does our biracial president has to do with anything? And as a diehard WW fan and a Black woman my pick would be Kate Beckinsale. Megan fox can't act either. 1st of all people these characters are not real. 2nd when wonder woman was created in the 1940's no she wouldn't have been black, blacks couldn't vote,eat or drink from public facilities.

Its not a race thing. But, plain and simple Wonder Woman had been around since the 40's and was written and drawn as a white character. She was someone's creation and nobody should turn her black just cuz some singer thinks it'd be fun to play her in a movie. back off beyonce i gotta agree with Ryan. Its not a race thing.

She could pass as a tan white girl. Second, since most of the world's population is composed of darker skinned people, darkening superheroes a little is probably good business. Third, I really haven't seen her act. It might work. Fourth, for a brief period of time, very brief, Warner Bros. considered Bill Murray as Batman and Eddie Murphy as Robin. Apparently, they thought they'd do a camp version. Fifth, in the first Tim Burton "Batman" feature, Harvey Dent was black. Sixth, at the conclusion of "Iron Man," we saw that Nick Fury is now black. Seventh, in "The Simpsons," Waylon Smithers was originally black, but now he's white. Eighth, that concludes my opinions and observations! First, Beyoncé is barely black.

Ok nerding out here, Catwoman is a minor character in the comics, most ppl dont really know who she is anyway so its flexible. Wonder Woman is one of the biggest female super-hero names ever if not thee biggest name. It would be like making Superman black....which would ruin the whole thing for 2 reasons. 1. Can anyone really imagine Superman being black? not on a racial note but just as the question is, can you imagine Superman the white super-hero that has been around since 1938 out of the blue just turn black? The answer is no, Wonder Woman debuted in the 1940's so she's got just as much a history as Supes. 2. We already have a black Superman and his name is Steel...he even had his own movie.......and thats all we'll speak of that. Beyonce is hot? Absolutely, is she ever going to be Wonder Woman? Never ok honestly this is not the first time I’ve heard this rumor, and everyone says “well they made Catwoman black blah blah blah”.

To me that sounds like she has no idea of what she's talking about. Wonder Woman is a character constantly met with tough emotional challenges as well as physical ones.
