Which will we see first in 2009 - a black Wonder Woman or a black James Bond?

Background: Stunning 27 year old singer and actress Beyonce Knowles has professed her desire to become the first black Wonder Woman. Inspired by Barack Obama's success, the Dreamgirls and Austin Powers actress claims she's already had meetings with DC Comics and Warner Bros, who own the rights to the story.

'I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?.' This follows Daniel Craig's announcement that it was time to have the first 'black' James Bond.

Will either of these things occur in 2009?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Must be a full length feature film. May settle on announcement.

doesn't anyone else find it ironic that color doesn't matter until it's time to have a none-white version of something?

for example, if i say "when do we get a white Shaft?" people would be horrified by it....

ha ha ha....a white shaft...sounds like a porn title...as does black Shaft incidently.

they should do a different Shaft, using someone like the Rock or Vin Diesl. I'd go to see them flex :)
