A New Catwoman?

[Nergol]

Bad news. Rumor has it that the next Nolan Batman villain is Catwoman. Megan Fox, as Catwoman:

Yeah, that's the way to top Heath Ledger's performance as Joker. With Megan Fox... as Catwoman.

Meh, there's absolutely nobody sourced in that story.  The writer could be pulling it out of his ass. 

[MrTorso]

As long as Eddie Murphy is the Riddler!!

[MSTJedi]

I hope to all things Good and Holy that there's some serious ass pulling going on here.

Last time I heard, Nolan hadn't even confirmed he was doing the 3rd Batman movie.  I think he's still working on Inception.

It comes from a BRITISH TABLOID for $&#^@ sake!

Nolan isn't even difinitively doing the 3rd Batman yet (apparently they are still filling the dumptrucks with money). The story isn't even written, so Catmoman isn't in a script that isn't written yet, and there is no way Nolan would cast Megan Fox in ANY role anyway!

Besides, I really don't think they would have Catwoman (or any female fighter character) in these dark and gritty Batman movies. The Batman in Chris Nolan's movies would have absolutely no problem punching Catwoman full in the face! (Something I would love to see, actually. I never cared for her character.)  There is no way a direct fighting character like her would stand a chance against Christian Bale's Batman. Now a more behind the scenes scheming female like Harley Quin? Maybe that could work in these movies. Perhaps have a lot of events happen that everyone attributes to The Joker, despite him being in Arkham, and then it's actually Harley.

Now there's something I'd like to see. I always loved Harley in the Animated Series and no movie has even bothered to mention her. Though if you have Harley, you have to have Mr. J . . . It'll be a hard row to hoe to find another actor who can match (or at least do justice to) Ledger's performance.

And if her costume is anything like the one in Arkham Asylum, that'd be good.

[Doctor Who?]

Please remember back in the late 90s as an April fools day joke on the BBC Doctor Who message board I posted a thread where I claimed that Paramount have gotten the rights to make a new Doctor series,they had put Rick Berman in charge,and cast the guy who played Tom Paris on Voyager as The Doctor.  We all had a good laugh at that until a few days latter a British Tabloid had picked it up and was reporting it as fact.  True Story.

The best thing about this movie? Megan Fox in a sexy suit!  - but that wouldn't top Heath Ledger's role as joker.

Actually, Harley Quinn was in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (check out the PG-13 version) and The Batman/Superman Movie (if you count that as a movie and not as three episodes of Superman: TAS). They might have to get permission from Paul Dini since he created her.

[MSTJedi]

Well yeah, I meant she hasn't been in a live-action Batman flick yet. One would hope it wouldn't be too hard to get permission to use the character since 1) the past couple movies have actually been good and 2) it's bound to make more money than any of the animated features did.

Yeah, I said the same thing when my cousin and I were walking out of The Dark Knight and he pondered who the next villain would be.

*ahem* Talia*ahem*

Found this through imdb.com - and there's others saying the same thing (although not the "sadly" part).

"Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Sadly, Warner Brothers has shot down reports that Megan Fox will be cast as Catwoman in the third installment of the Batman franchise. "It's rumor. It's not true," says a representative for the studio. "There is no script. There is no project to be cast in." "

PS for Tripe - Your girlfriend Gina Torres is joining the cast of "Gossip Girls".

Christ, well I'll have to watch that for a bit then, just like I watched the episodes of Alias she was in.
