Circe is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe, centered in the Wonder Woman title. She is based on the Greek mythological character of the same name.
Circe appears in the animated series Justice League Unlimited, appearing in the episode "This Little Piggy". In the show, she liberally displays her powers of transforming humans and other objects into animals, most notably turning Wonder Woman into a pig, and transforming Batman's batarangs into doves. The storyline here is that she was an old enemy of Wonder Woman's mother. Upon being released from imprisonment in Hades decided to get her revenge against Hippolyta by turning Diana into a pig (one of the terms of her release was that she could not attack Hippolyta directly). She agrees to turn Wonder Woman back after Batman sings "Am I Blue?" in front of an audience. Circe was voiced by actress Rachel York. Her appearance also included a minor allusion to the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz.
