Damn! I wanna win a contest sometime. 
I could go with the low road with quasi-porn...and Lake Bell is actually campaigning for the role, too.
But I think I'll try the creative approach instead:

Nah, America.
That's a crossdresser.
I was thinkin' more along the lines of an anime my roommate at college would watch, where an old man & a teenage boy would, dependin' on the temperature of water thrown on them, would turn into a panda & a teenage girl. I forget what it was called, but he watched it all the time.
A superhero whose secret identity is the opposite gender? Now there's an idea! A terrible one, true. But an idea!
Ranma½ comes to mind.

Yep, that's the one I was thinkin' of! My college roommate watched it all the time.
Oops, technical difficulties. 
Should be back up w/n a few hours...

seriously?
Still if there is a good reason for it, it might be amusing.
Sure. Wonder Woman needs to sound like she's from somewhere else, and while British isn't the most exotic way of talkin', it is, to American audiences, different enough to convey "otherworldliness."
Plus, she's six feet tall, brunette, has done television work & has already been on a David E Kelley series.
Its a whole bunch of factors in her favor to be Wonder Woman.
Hey, some people complained that Tom Cruise didn't use a German accent in Valkyrie, but Terence Stamp, Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson and Eddie Izzard didn't either.
English accent = from a completely different place.
I am not debating the other factors, I am debating the idea that a British accent is "extoic" enough for Wonder Woman.
its worth saying that to the British me a Texan accent could be mistaken for "extoic"^
Its better than nothin'!
