Megan Fox for Wonder Woman?

Admirers of Transformers star Megan Fox will be thrilled to know that there is a buzz brewing that she'll be cast in the new Warner Bros revival of Wonder Woman. Fans of the original show may be saddened to see Lynda Carter replaced. Twenty somethings, not alive in the 70's, may be wondering "who is Wonder Woman"?

Originally a comic book character, Wonder Woman was the fictional creation of DC Comics. She was a member of an all female tribe, sent as an ambassador to the male-dominated Earth in her too cool clear jet. Lynda Carter played the character in the television series which aired for several seasons in the mid seventies.

While I am thrilled to see Wonder Woman brought to the big screen and I will begrudgingly acknowledge that the selection of an actress/lingerie model may sell a few tickets, I would like to suggest that after witnessing some of the superhuman accomplishments of our female athletes in Beijing, maybe the idea of a fictional strong-woman is outdated. Dara Torres rocked the pool in Beijing and she did it without gold cuffs or a patriotic bikini. Allison Stokke literally flew through the air sans jet and Allyson Felix ran faster than a speeding bullet.

I'm sure I'll go to the movie regardless of who plays the lead. But times have changed since the 70's and now our Wonder Women are real.
