Who run the world? Girls! But who will save the world? Beyoncé!

Yeah, Queen Bey is pretty invincible in her own right, but combine her superpowers with Batman's? Well, the fate of humanity would be in good hands, that's for sure.

Jay-Z's love recently had some fun channeling her inner Dark Knight at a costume store with some friends. In a series of snaps posted to tumblr, the 31-year-old singer wears a still-packaged Batman mask that covers half her face. She commits to character, too, folding her arms across her chest and keeping a very serious expression on her face.

This, of course, is not the first time Bey's shown an interest in superheroes. Back in 2008, she told the L.A. Times she wanted to play Wonder Woman on the silver screen. "It would be great," she said. "And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?" Right!

She also reasoned she'd need to be in tip-top shape for the role (is she ever not?!) due to the unforgiving nature of Wonder Woman's iconic ensemble.  "I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume," she said. "The way that Lynda Carter [the original Wonder Woman] wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions."

Uh, Beyoncé, you've got some pretty killer curves yourself!
