Beyonce: Now It’s Time for a Black Wonder Woman

The 27-year-old has met executives at DC Comics and Warner Brothers, who own the rights to the iconic figure.

Beyonce, whose acting career has included a comic turn in Austin Powers In Goldmember and a Diana Ross-type character in Dreamgirls, says she is ready to camp it up in Wonder Woman’s red, white and blue swimsuit.

She put on 20lb to play soul sensation Etta James in Cadillac Records, and admitted the suit would be unforgiving of any extra weight.
