Catwoman Casting Thread [Merged x6]

[Majik1387]

And she's ugly...

[deasnuts]

She is an established actress not and S&M pornstar...and what women do you guys look at that makes you think she is ugly exactly?

She is beautiful and a great actress...what else do you need?

[Nepenthes]

I just think anyone calling themselves Moon Bloodgood needs to go back and try again. What is she in?

Beautiful and talented is awesome. But I do need something else. I need her to be....

.....Charlize Theron

[Laderlappen]

Who the hell is Moon Bloodgood? and what has she done that is so impressing?

[jmc]

I thought Moon Bloodgood was a type of cheese.

[regwec]

It sounds like the title of an early 90s arcade video game that was mistranslated from the Japanese.

[deasnuts]

[Laderlappen]

What has she done that impressed you enough to want to cast her as Catwoman?

[Crook]

Curious Kitty Kat Gets Mauled From Front-to-Back: Vol. 5

:o

[Two-Face]

I thought Moon Bloodgood was a type of cheese.

Why would be cheese? Since has a name "Bloodgood"

[David Rice]

Moon Bloodgood?

She's obviously a S&M pornstar, possibly vampyric. No thanks.

Where the heck did that come from?

And she's ugly...

No, she not.

[David Rice]

I just think anyone calling themselves Moon Bloodgood needs to go back and try again. What is she in?

Beautiful and talented is awesome. But I do need something else. I need her to be....

.....Charlize Theron

Maybe that's her real name. She is Asian and she's in the Street Fighter film. But I do agree, she not right for Selina.

[Majik1387]

No, she not.
Find me some good looking pictures of her then cuz these two make her look ugly with a head too big for her body.

[David Rice]

Find me some good looking pictures of her then cuz these two make her look ugly with a head too big for her body.

Nah, I got better things to do. If you're so unsure look yourself.

Besides nothing I show you will change your mind, your too damn bullheaded.

[Majik1387]

:whatever:

[Cunning Stunts]

One actress I'd put total faith in for Catwoman:

http://wallpapers.free-review.net/wallpapers/75/Rhona_Mitra.jpg

Rhona Mitra.

[batboy99]

I wouldnt mind her, but i tihkn shed work better as WW...or Witchblade

[Cunning Stunts]

I wouldnt mind her, but i tihkn shed work better as WW...or Witchblade

I promise you, she'd be better off than every actress listed in the poll.

These guys don't know how to cast...

*Shakes head in shame*

[batboy99]

I dont think shed be better than EVERYONE of the girls in the polls,but alot of them ,yeah. Rhona is a very underrated actress

[Invisibleboy777]

I don't know if anyone has suggested her but i think she would make a great catwoman! her eyes are beautiful, and she got named the sexiest woman alive!

!MEGAN FOX!:wow::wow::wow:

[Majik1387]

Dude, your choices suck.:down:down

[Laderlappen]

Whoo! :wow: Is it bad actress day today or something?

[jmc]

Everytime Kate Beckinsale's name is mention as Catwoman I feel like banging my head against a wall, and as for Megan Fox, until she shows us something even remotely resembling acting, her name should be banned from this thread or any subsequent Catwoman thread.

[CaptainClown]

Whenever Megan Fox is mentioned I feel my brain cells trying to escape my body. Also you can find girls like Megan Fox a dime a dozen

[batboy99]

Both are extreamly hot IMO,but that doesnt mean they are good for Catwoman, and even if Fox was a good/decent actress, shes too young, if you want to go that young, id pic Scarlett Johansson over her

[CaptainClown]

I wouldn't say hot, but um...trashy hot. The kind of girl you can expect to run away after she has a baby.

[Laderlappen]

Everytime Kate Beckinsale's name is mention as Catwoman I feel like banging my head against a wall, and as for Megan Fox, until she shows us something even remotely resembling acting, her name should be banned from this thread or any subsequent Catwoman thread.Worst thing is when they suggest her based on the same reasons why she should not be cast.

Even if Megan Fox was a great actress, and had the right age, she wouldnt be a good choice. She doesn't have the look. Selina is supposed to look classy and sophisticated, but still sexy and beautiful.

[StorminNorman]

Olivia Wilde, Shannyn Sossoman, Natalie Portman - top 3.

[Two-Face]

Megan Fox hot? yes
right for Catwoman? no
Acting? so so.

Beckinsale hot? yes
right for Catwoman yes
Acting? yes

[batboy99]

Megan Fox hot? yes
right for Catwoman? no
Acting? so so.

Beckinsale hot? yes
right for Catwoman yes
Acting? yeskate is a better actress than fox, but i stil ldont thin kshes really proved her acting abilities just yet

[batboy99]

She may not be right for Selina, but since she is younger, how would you fell about Scarlett Johansson as Holly Robinson(and im not saying that she should or shouldnt be introduced)

[Crook]

Whenever Megan Fox is mentioned I feel my brain cells trying to escape my body. Also you can find girls like Megan Fox a dime a dozen
Where do you live buddy? :o

I wouldn't say hot, but um...trashy hot. The kind of girl you can expect to run away after she has a baby.
:funny:

I'd rather associate trashiness towards behavior and clothingwear. But to each his own.

[DieSmiling]

Whenever Megan Fox is mentioned I feel my brain cells trying to escape my body. Also you can find girls like Megan Fox a dime a dozen

No, you can't. That is just completely false.

I don't want her in a Batman movie either, but to say she's a dime a dozen is preposterous. She's insanely hot.

[Majik1387]

We have girls like her all over here in Florida. Complete with her fake tan. Granted we have more not so hot girls, but Fox isn't a rarity down here.

[Nepenthes]

I agree Megan Fox is HOT but she isnt that special. The right kind of nightclub in any major city will have dozens of girls like her running aroud.

[jmc]

Hot girls can be found anywhere, Fox is just more famous than most, she's not a one in a million find.

[Majik1387]

Exactly.

[Laderlappen]

I have a couple of friends that I think is more good-looking than Megan Fox. Then again, Im not a big fan of that "trashy" look.

[Crook]

What about her look is trashy? Asides from a really hot face that you just can't see as being that of an innocent girl...whis is pure assumption anyway? :huh:

[Laderlappen]

It isnt trashy like Lindsay Lohan trashy or Paris Hilton trashy. But if you look at those pictures for example, there is some trashyness there.

[Crook]

All I see is a hot girl in lingerie. :huh:

[batboy99]

She doesnt look trashy in those pictures, she looks a bit *****y, but not trashy

Megan Fox is hot :up:

[CaptainClown]

Where do you live buddy? :o


:funny:

Los Angeles
No, you can't. That is just completely false.

I don't want her in a Batman movie either, but to say she's a dime a dozen is preposterous. She's insanely hot.
Really? I can go hang out at the mall and spot at least ten girls that look just like her.

[Crook]

I'm in NYC, and there are hot girls everywhere. But very few have faces and sex appeal that were clearly molded by God on a lonely night. :o

[CaptainClown]

God must have many lonely nights.

[az824]

well im sure nolan can find someone just as hot or hotter than fox that can act

[Two-Face]

kate is a better actress than fox, but i stil ldont thin kshes really proved her acting abilities just yet

Plus she's way too young.

[Laderlappen]

and she doesn't have the look. Partly because shes to young.

[turtlefocker]

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x183/alexturtle2/kate-beckinsale-wp02-1280x960.png


I'm game for her as Selina, fanboys are to nit-picky. I'm positive that if Nolan chose her each and everyone one of them would be behind his decision by the first trailer.

[David Rice]

:whatever:

:whatever:

One actress I'd put total faith in for Catwoman:

Rhona Mitra.

I like her, but she always plays the hard ass girl. I don't think I've ever seen her smile.

:up: I can dig her!

Dude, your choices suck.

And yours don't? :whatever:

[David Rice]

I'm game for her as Selina, fanboys are to nit-picky. I'm positive that if Nolan chose her each and everyone one of them would be behind his decision by the first trailer.

I hear ya. Its not even the fanboys., it's the same three or four guys. And you can bet if Nolan did it it they would love it.

[Laderlappen]

I'm game for her as Selina, fanboys are to nit-picky. I'm positive that if Nolan chose her each and everyone one of them would be behind his decision by the first trailer.Turning down an actress because of lack of acting talent means we are "too nit-picky"? :huh:

Before BB Katie sucked. When she was cast, everybody knew she would suck. When we saw the trailer we knew she would suck. When we saw the movie she sucked. You theory fails.

[regwec]

And yours don't? :whatever:

Is majik really necessary? All of his comments can be summarised by a :whatever: , which leads me to think that he isn't really that productive.

[Majik1387]

Again, I'm not gonna repeatedly give a full explanation to why I say no to certain actresses when I've given them many times before in this thread.

And if you don't care to read what I say, the ignore option is always open for you to use.

[regwec]

What you say does not offend me, and I have never chosen to ignore anyone on a forum. I just wonder about the relevance of some of your comments. If everyone knows that you don't approve of actress a, because you have given reasons "many times before in this thread", why bother to dismiss her again, if you can't be bothered to give new objections, or even re hash your old ones? Wouldn't it be better to merely ignore the suggestion?

[Majik1387]

I've ignored the ones where it can work even if I disagree with them (Charlize Theron)
But when they are just bad suggestions that keep getting suggested based on the actress's hotness only, or actresses with no talent, I tend to speak up.

I also speak up at other suggestions in a positive way, but if you guys would only like to spot the negative ones, that's your problem, not mine.

And again, I don't have to offend you for you to put me on ignore. If you don't wanna see what I have to say for any reason, there's the ignore function.
And I use the ":whatever:" sparingly or when dealing with David; I won't waste energy typing something out to him when that smiley pretty much sums up what I have to say to him.

[David Rice]

I was thinking the same thing.

You need to get it though your head that not everyone here suggests woman because they are "hot" and that some of us don't share your views about Beckinsale.

Then why even reply?

[Laderlappen]

Everybody doesnt suggest somebody just based on hottness, but a suprisingly amount of people do. Or they suggest somebody because of hotness and they go on with the choice because she decent or ok. Or they suggest somebody because they have played a catwoman-like character before and suggest her to act the same way in this movie. Doesnt matter if she was good or bad.

[Darkfly]

I take it people are still going on about Beckinsale and the like, how about some not so obvious choice's, look at Nolan's choices none of the actors playing the major roles (Batman, Gordon, Scarerow, Joker, Rachael) have been massive stars or stars you'd think for those roles necessarily and none of them have been mainstream actors with little real acting.

btw Beckinsale's a terrible actress can't remember the last film she was good in, Vacancy -with standable, Click -bad, Underworld: Evolution -terrible, The Aviator -with standable, Van Helsing -terrible, Underworld -terrible, Serendipity -with standable, Pearl Harbor -terrible, get the picture. Personally I think she doesn't have the right look for Catwoman, plus she's too thin I want Catwoman to at least have a few curve's on her.

[jmc]

There's a ton of talented late 20's early 30's actresses who could easily play the role yet don't immediately scream 'Catwoman', the performance is what counts the most, hotness/sexyness is not just about how the girl looks, part of it is how the girl acts. I think as long as the girl is attractive and athletic and can act her head off, there should be few complaints. Given Nolan's track record to date I dare say any possible Catwoman casting could be just as fan dividing as some of his previous characters.

[Laderlappen]

Yes many actors that arent considered very "hot" can make a character very sexy if they are good enough actors. People suggest certain actors(not just for comicbook movies) so they dont have to act.

[batboy99]

Plus she's way too young.
i was actually talking about Kate in that post

[Nepenthes]

intelligent, graceful, fierce, enchanting. a natural performer

people would pay attention if she was cast, she's MichelleII in that regards. Only drawback would be racial associations with Halle Berry and CINO.

[Laderlappen]

If only Puff Daddy played Batman :woot:

[az824]

she should have been cast in the stand alone catwoman film if they were gonna go black, but they would have also needed a different crew all together

[regwec]

I have no idea who she is, but I know exactly what I want to do to her. :)

[az824]

lol its alicia keyes

[Nepenthes]

If only Puff Daddy played Batman :woot:

wtf is that supposed to mean? must all black artists be associated with Puff Daddy? if it's just joke it's pissing me off


she should have been cast in the stand alone catwoman film if they were gonna go black, but they would have also needed a different crew all together

ha, very true. I think they screwed that movie when they decided it would be Blade meets Charlies Angels for woman. They should have concentrated on making a movie about a real character instead of a celebrity in a cat suit.

[regwec]

Are we classifying this woman as black? How interesting.

[Laderlappen]

You dont like Puff Daddy?

[swifty]

why no love for Halle Berry, she was the ultimate catwoman....there's your choice right there if you ask me. Why would you guys want anybody else?

[batboy99]

She had the potential to be a good catwoman, but she wasnt. Not to mention shes too old compaired to bale and that many Batfans, while not being racist, want the real catwoman, a white catwoman

[regwec]

I wouldn't mind that much if she was mixed race or whatever, but I just don't find Halle Berry attractive in quite the seductive manner that is necessary.

[anrrd_2]

why no love for Halle Berry, she was the ultimate catwoman....there's your choice right there if you ask me. Why would you guys want anybody else?
http://www.geocities.com/lainus22/oc/wtf.jpg


michelle pfeiffer? eartha kitt? lee meriwether? julie newmar? adrienne barbeau (btas)?


...and HALLE BERRY! is the ultimate catwoman??????? my brain hurts:csad:

[Laderlappen]

I could bet money on that if Halle didnt do that movie, shed be just as popular choice around here as Charlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale, or Angelina Jolie.

[Nepenthes]

Are we classifying this woman as black? How interesting.

dude are you drunk? an argumentative drunk I gather....


You dont like Puff Daddy?

you're just infuriating :yay:

[regwec]

That's really quite rude, Nepenthes.

[Laderlappen]

you're just infuriating :yay:I guess Ill take that as a no.

[az824]

i'm pretty sure swifty was being sarcastic, or at least it read sarcastically to me (or maybe it should have been sarcastic)

[anrrd_2]

i'm pretty sure swifty was being sarcastic, or at least it read sarcastically to me (or maybe it should have been sarcastic)

looking back..your probably right. :oldrazz:

[David Rice]

Ummmmm, no. Not really.

[Majik1387]

Ummmmm, no. Not really.

Wow, I actually agree with David on something.

[batdude]

If Halle wasn't in THAT FILM most fans would still think of her as Storm.

[Laderlappen]

Maybe her age & skincolor would have hurt her, but I still think she would have been one of the most popular choices. And most of those would have used Xmen as a reason.

[Majik1387]

The majority of moviegoers didn't like her in the X-Men films. :huh:

[Laderlappen]

I dont think that would have mattered.

[Majik1387]

:huh:

If they didn't like her in X-Men it is doubtful they'd suggest her for Catwoman.

[elgato]

From left to right, Eliza Dushku, Marion Cotillard, Keri Russell
These are Catwoman to me

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff133/gatochico/whos_your_catwoman_gato.jpg

[Laderlappen]

Many people suggest actors more based on personality and looks than acting. Many people suggest actors based on roles that reminds them of catwoman. Very often are these roles not considered good. I know it sounds f'd up. But yes, the regular people that are here would probably turn her down.

[jmc]

Good design man, love that pic of Marion, very alluring eyes in that one.

[jmc]

Also, can I suggest we get an updated poll for potential actresses for this thread if possible, or at least add some that would be a more likely Nolan choice, the current list seems really dated.

I think that Julie Benz is the precise actress to interpret a Catwoman similar to that of Michelle Pfeiffer

Bye

[The Navigator]

Why should she be similar to Michelle Pfeiffer?

[Laderlappen]

Again, please explain why.

[az824]

i dont like that julie person, she's not sexy enough for catwoman (and yes being hot and sexy IS a requirement for catwoman, along with being a good actress)

[batboy99]

I love julie, but im not too sure about her as catwoman

[jmc]

i dont like that julie person, she's not sexy enough for catwoman (and yes being hot and sexy IS a requirement for catwoman, along with being a good actress)

A good actress will bring hotness and sexiness.

Again, please explain why.


she is inteligent, blonde, good actress & obviously sexie, in addition I think that she is similar enough to Michelle Pfeiffer when she was young

Because that's the only live action Catwoman that he knows and likes. :cwink:

Honestly, like everyone else sia,d why does she have to be similar to Pfeiffer? I mean i LOVED Michelle as Catwoman, but that isnt the only interpretation of catwoman out there

[bruce_kent]

But why does she have to be similar to Michelle Pfeiffer?

why Michelle Pfeiffer is the best referent of a good Catwoman, better than the Halle Berry, it is what I think, i' m not racist, but the Catwoman of Halle Berry is not the best referent for me, and the movie in solitary of the personage led by Halle Berry I do not believe that it has been the best, with exception of Michelle Pfeiffer, because of it I think that a more similar Catwoman is better to Tim Burton

Bye

[Majik1387]

I like Julie Benz, especially in the Buffy/Angel series and Jawbreaker, but other than that I have seen nothing to make me want her for Catwoman.

And Batman's thinking, "Rachel WHO?"

Seriously, though, some good choices in here. I'd be interested in seeing a Rose manip, especially.

[Laderlappen]

Whoever gets cast as Catwoman will try to take a new direction at it, just the way, Chris and Heath did with their characters. Jack was the best liveaction Joker before Heath. Did that mean that they should base the whole character on Jack? No! They are actors you know! And Im sure who ever would try to imitate Michelle would only be bad. This is what you can see in cheap ass fanvideos. This is one horrible thing you're suggesting. Marlon Brando is considered to be the greatest actor of all time. But how would it look if people in the movie tried to imitate Brando?

Whoever gets cast will get a bunch of comics(TLH, Hush?), and try to make the character in their own way.

she is inteligent, blonde, good actress & obviously sexie, in addition I think that she is similar enough to Michelle Pfeiffer when she was young

Bye

Man, we have already someone that's intelligent, good actress, sexy, and was probably made from michelle pfeiffer's DNA:

Anyway, there are other choices that don't look like MP, but they're as good as Keri (Eliza Dushku, Marion Cotillard, etc...)

[Majik1387]

Who's the last girl? And i cant wait to see these manips.
^Maybe the greatest actress in the world. I think its her atleast.
Cate Blanchett
Wow, Rose Mcgowan and Elisha Dushku? And you say Beckinsale is a bad actress.
I know it hurts you to hear the truth about Beckinsale's horrid "acting"

[batboy99]

Wow, Rose Mcgowan and Elisha Dushku? And you say Beckinsale is a bad actress.
Eliza is good, and rose is ok too, Kate isnt great either, i just dont tihnk shes proven herself tho

[elgato]

Eliza is good, and rose is ok too, Kate isnt great either, i just dont tihnk shes proven herself tho

I like Rose, but there's something about her that I just don't like for Catwoman

[batboy99]

She might be good, but shes the same as Kate for me, they both havent really proven themselves IMO as actresses

And Eliza isnt the best actress,but its just my personal taste, shes my favorite actress/celeb and i just love her for catwoman. I think shes at least capable of pulling off this role. Also, if Kate does a little better in her next movie which i hope she does, shes definetly work at shot for catwoman(shes probably one of the actresses who look the most like her)

[bruce_kent]

Keri Russell was rumored to interpret Sarah Essen or Gilda Dent in TDK, and was rejected, because of it I believe that it is impossible that she interprets to Catwoman in Batman's movie, in addition Catwoman must be a woman who overcomes the 1.70 of stature

Bye

[az824]

A good actress will bring hotness and sexiness.
not necessarily, a woman can act like theyre hot but that doesnt mean they are, although yes she can act sexy. besides the term "sexy" and "hot" are subjective

to me hot is a woman with a beautiful face (which that one girl did not have) and some nice curves :cwink: along with nice hair, skin, clothes all that stuff. to me, sexy is when a woman acts sexual in an appealing way

to me, keri (sp?) is 3/4 there, she's sexy but only half way hot, so its a no for me.

[batboy99]

Well selina isnt ''hot'' shes beautiful, classy. Hot to me is someone like megan fox or something, they arent beautiful, but they're hot

Cate Blanchett

I know it hurts you to hear the truth about Beckinsale's horrid "acting"

Cate Blanchett? Are you for real?

No, you really don't know me. If you think thoes two are better actress then Beckinsale you really need to lay off the drugs.

[batboy99]

I dont really see Cate as Catwoman either

[The Navigator]

So we're all agreed then: Angelina Jolie.

I don't do drugs, thanks, don't wanna end up like you. I just recognize skills in actresses, and I recognize when they don't have skills. Kate has the off screen personality and looks, but lacks acting skills. Eliza and Rose are not as performance praised as say Keri Russell, Marion Cotillard, or Cate Blanchett, but they still have managed to be better than Kate.
I dont really see Cate as Catwoman either
Eh, I think she's a good choice. A strong actress, who's capable of bringing Selina to the screen, and able to film action scenes while still looking beautiful and sexy in the process.

So you're not open to the idea of choosing an actress unless she is known to have a natural hot and sexy aura? Say for instance someone like Hilary Swank, who has worked with Nolan before gets cast as Catwoman in film 3, now with all do respect to Hilary (who is an attractive woman), she doesn't invoke the natural hotness in the way someone like Angelina Jolie does. Does this mean she can bring a a sexy and hot character to the screen? Of course not. If the Cat was cast it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it someone more along the line of a Hilary Swank type of actress than an Angelina Jolie type one, Nolan has showed that he chooses the actor first, not the character.

[Majik1387]

I'd support Hilary Swank too. :up::up:

[jmc]

Had the Nolan series been started 7-8 years earlier, Cate would have been an awesome choice, if anyone could bring the character to life it would be her.

[Majik1387]

Had the Nolan series been started 7-8 years earlier, Cate would have been an awesome choice, if anyone could bring the character to life it would be her.
I still think she could be a good Selina/Catwoman. She's only like 5 yrs older than Bale, but she still looks young, as we can see from the Indy4 trailers and pics.

[jmc]

Not so sure, sadly I think her being on the wrong side of 30 would come into play regardless of how youthful she still looks, I think they'd be looking for an actress in her early 30's. But you never know.

[Majik1387]

Which is understandable.

When it comes to an actor's looks, it really just depends how big the flaws are, because make up, lighting, filters, camera angles, etc really can make you not notice them.

not necessarily someone who isnt known (i never mentioned anything about being well known), but no one can act like theyre hot (or beautiful whatever u want to call it), they either are or are not. if hilary sawnk is hot, and shes a good actress then she can do the sexy part. the lady that we were referring to (julie something) earlier is not hot but perhaps sexy. catwoman has to be both, not one or the other.

btw, i dont really know who hilary swank is

[The Navigator]

I think a complete (or relatively) unknown would be best for Catwoman, so audiences would think "who's that gorgeous, talented actress?" instead of, "hey, it's (fill-in-the-blank)." This would in turn give them/us a sense of involvement in the story instead of just being outside observers. Which I prefer.

I can see the latter statement working, but I don't know about the former. Sexiness is innate imo, even if it isn't readily apparent at first glance.

[Laderlappen]

Its all about acting. Just like someone can make a character bad, good, tough, cool, etc. can also make a character sexy. Take that picture of Cate above for example. I think Cate is a very beautiful woman, but she isnt considered sexy. Not in the general way atleast. But THAT is a sexy picture.
Or maybe sexiness IS innate. But that many people choses not to show it all.

Everybody can make themself look sexier by simple things. If you are very ordinary looking, you can put on a sexy dress, get you hair done, with make up and other things. I dont think you're disagreing with this. But what you're saying is that there is a limit right?

You see, when I made a comment about him being on drugs it was a joke. I think he must be nuts for his views about those two women, just as I'm sure he thinks I'm nuts for my views about Beckinsale. He always has something smart to say about me when her name gets brought up. Now that is getting old.

You don't really know the story behind this, so I don't think it's fair that you say it's mostly me. There was a long time that I didn't talk about him or even to him. The reason it started back up is because he called me a ****ing idiot while arguing killingyouguy. Why? Because I said something bad about the X-Men films the day before. I wasn't even there, I had nothing to do what was going on with killingyouguy. Why bring my name up? I'll tell why, because he got pissed and wanted to make it personal, just as he did yesterday by saying "I don't want to end up like you." Fine. he wants to start shooting, I will too. It's clear that nobody here is going to do anything about. So, the day he stops acting like this is the day I stop.

[Majik1387]

Dude, seriously, I don't know what's up with you but for whatever reason you think I have a grudge with you, get over it, because I don't even know what you're talking about.

Yes, absolutely. I never really considered Cate sexy, but that pic does look very alluring. That's largely in part to the good make-up though.

In terms of attitude, I think anyone can be sexy in that right, regardless of attitude. But I was referring to the whole package. And with that, make-up, clothes, and attitude can only take you so far up that sexiness scale if you don't have the physical attributes to match it. So yes, there is a limit.

she's a bit on the mature side to play catwoman otherwise she would've been a good choice for the role.
And to think she's married to an ugly looking Hobbit for a husband.....what a waste.

Not really actress related, but I stumble across this image on Deviant art by comic artist Joseph Caesar. Its an interesting concept, he said everything incorporated in the design was meant for functionality. I think this goes a little to far, but I wouldn't mind something along these lines on film.

As an artwork, it's very nicely done. But Catwoman should NEVER be hi-tech in any way. She's more of a "traditional" cat-burglar, and that means as bare-bones as possible for the line of work.

I have done something about it. I've addressed the problems with him and now I wait for a response.

[jmc]

I must respectfully disagree. We're not living in the 1930's here, besides this was designed to fit into Nolan's Batman.

Whilst I agree that the Cats suit should have some level of functionality to it and not be just a one piece leather suit, I think Joseph's design has probably gone a little too far, I think it's a step in the right direction, there are some elements in it I think could work really well and I think given today's security systems it would make sense that's she'd have some gadgetry, it kinda reminds me a little to much like those GI Joe images leaked recently though, and it really makes no sense that a burglar would be armoured so heavily plus she's never really been design as such, so I kinda get what Crook means by 'traditional'. I think there's a happy medium between this design and the traditional one piece suit though.

She's not armoured heavily. The body plate is designed to take the shock of a small impact, not gun fire. Trust me, we spent hours talking about the functionality of each part of her costume. Thanks for the feedback though.

Don't worry, I believe you, I've done similar styled Catwoman designs where I've spent hours trying to work out functionality, so I hear your pain. Damn Nolan and his need to justify everything!

[Crook]

I must respectfully disagree. We're not living in the 1930's here, besides this was designed to fit into Nolan's Batman.
It's not about being in the 30's at all. Catwoman has never been a hi-tech gal, even to this day. They've reinvented her costume, sure, but it has remained very low-brow compared to the tech that Batman has used over the decades.

Cat-burglars intend to get in and out as quick as possible, without any detection. If you're a good one, why would you need various tools of the trade and protection that's only necessary if you're in a firefight or being chased through hell?

It's not about being in the 30's at all. Catwoman has never been a hi-tech gal, even to this day. They've reinvented her costume, sure, but it has remained very low-brow compared to the tech that Batman has used over the decades.

Read Catwoman number 50 series one. Really it is about being in 30's vs today, do you really think a cat-burglar could do his or job without some hi-tech stuff? If so, please rent Entrapment.

Other than a wip and gaunlets, our Catwoman doesn't use tools and her costume is designed to help her get in and out as quick as possible. She really doesn't have any protection either, her suit is not bullet proof.

[Nightmare]

Halle Berry as Catwoman!!!

[Crook]

Read Catwoman number 50 series one.
Incidentally, I have that issue. But it really proves my point. It was a one-shot type of deal, it never carried through to her various stories since then.

Really it is about being in 30's vs today, do you really think a cat-burglar could do his or job without some hi-tech stuff? If so, please rent Entrapment.Depends on what you define as hi-tech. I'm not against modern utilities, but gadgets that look a bit futuristic is "off" for the character, I would say.

Well then I guess the issue is the design elements of the suit. What is the purpose of the straps all over her costume, the armor plates, and robotic arms?

The best analogy I can come up with, is to take a look at a typical SWAT member and an elite assassin. The former is dressed for all circumstances because they are likely to engage. The latter is probably in every day clothing with no sort of protection or heavy gadgets because it is their job to be discrete, mobile, and nearly invisible.

[jmc]

^ If I was to hazard a guess I'd say the strapping is perhaps some form of modified repelling harness, as for the robotic arms, other than the shoulder guards, I think the rest is just meant to be design elements (which I do quite like) and with the body armour, he said it's there to stand the shock of a small impact (although I'm not sure what kind of impact a burglar would be expecting other than a fall). I think you do bring up a good point though in that it looks more engaging, a tad GI Joe-ish.

[Nepenthes]

There's nothing overly hitech about that design though. She has some protection, a camera, and a watch. And all those straps and detail wouldn't look that bad if it was all the same colour. Matte black. I'd like Catwoman to be portayed as someone committed and and serious about what she does, it's not just some lark. She should look dressed for business and that requires an amount of conceptual detail and layer in her design.


Depends on what you define as hi-tech. I'm not against modern utilities, but gadgets that look a bit futuristic is "off" for the character, I would say.

Agreed, with minor exeptions. A few-placed techy gadgets could help portray Selinas resourcefulness and level of preperation and just make for some cool scenes. She's stolen them from military depos or even WaybeTech R&D. These would be complemented with a range of low-tech improvised devices of her own, MaGuyver style.

[The Navigator]

What's the pouch on the back of her hand for?

[Nepenthes]

Hmm. It could be a pouch for decoy lock-picks. If anyone cuffs her or ties her up they'lll find the lockpicks located conveniently near her wrists where she can reach them even when she's bound. They'll assume she's pretty stupid for leaving them in such an obvious spot but ha ha the picks are really hidden under her skin where she uses her sharp nails to scratch them out :hyper:

[regwec]

I think Catwoman can get by just fine with out a high-tech suit. The tools of her trade can just be stowed in a small backpack, as seen in the comics.

It dawned on me the other day that it might be very be difficult to present the 'cat buglar' aspect of Catwoman (which was largely missing in Retunrs) without it appearing derivative or cliche. Catherine Zita Jones in Entrapment, Mission Impossible, Tomb Raider, countless tv commecials; we've seen the whole red laser grid climb in the through the air vent thing a hundred times now. It's a pity as Catwoman would definitly be a major source to all this, one of the originals, but now she could be in danger of making a tired joke of herself. How can you present the original "sexy cat-burlger" in a new fashion? In this regard it's tempting to consider new technological tricks or sequences as part of a solution.

hhm, you raise an interesting point...she WAS one of the original sexy catburgler, but she WOULD come of as cliche without some sort of reinvention/reimaging...not of the character but of how she does business....

perhaps she starts off in posing as a high ranking executive for whatever museum/bank she is hoping to jack...she charms her way past the quards into high security areas...then uses small, wireless devices to short circuit the cameras. she then changes into her catwoman outfit (which was hidden in her attache case)...fills the case with jewels and cash and makes her escape through the roof.


could be a garbage idea...but im proud of myself:)

[regwec]

Catwoman is different from most of the above because she steals things because she enjoys the sensation of stealing, as well as for finacial gain.

[Nepenthes]

It all looks the same on screen. especially to people who couldn't care less about her 'motivation'. it's a stale concept that needs a kick in the arse. that Selina is getting her jollies while she does it is not enough. besides the cliche already assumes the thief REALLY enjoys what they're doing, it's part of the wicked sensuality of the whole thing

[Crook]

I don't buy it. As long as you present the material in a way that looks refreshing, the concept doesn't matter.

The action-hero concept hasn't died, neither has the tragic hero who serves to protect.

If that's the case, then Catwoman should just be left out of the franchise. I would rather that than have Nolan set out to pervert/ruin her.

whoa. ^ these concepts are FAR broader than the sexy cat burglar. c'mon. they can mean anything. Sexy cat burgler will always mean sneaking around alone in dark or empty buildings. add some air vents, laser grids, alarms, dogs, cameras, whatever, you're still going to be stepping on worn ground. what is your idea for "a way that looks refreshing" exactly? that was the point of my post, there is no conception of a cat bulgar beyond what we've already seen. I agree the concept is great, it's age-old and shouldn't be thrown out just because it was all the rage in the late 90's, but still Catwoman (as distinct from 'cat-burglar') needs something drastically inventive to make her schtick cool again. how to represent the cat burglar aspect of what she does, via new methods or elaborately staged sequences o whatever

Inspiration can be found in new technology because that's one aspect of heist cliche that can be easily re-dressed without ruining the core elements that are stealth, intelliigence, grace, preparation, etc. Nolans Gotham has advanced technology, it's logical to assume it's museums and safehouses would have too. For instance what if Catwoman has 'laser tips' on the ends of her fingers that cut through glass AND short circut entry keypads? instead of the "old draw a circle on the window with your claws" type thing. the same laser tips would be her offensive cat 'claws', they'd leave glowing SFX trails in the air like tiger slashes. not saying that's what I'd do, just an example. actually thats not an example it's rather superficial to the point I'm trying to make. the catburglar is a staple of advertisments now. by definition that makes it a stereotype and cliche

How do the gadgets we have look futuristic?

The straps are used as repelling harness, those are not heavy armor plates they are a lit weight material designed to take a small about of shock, again those are not robotic arms they are gauntles simular to what Nightwing wears in the comics. Her gloves had to be practical in order to fit into a Nolan film, but she still had to have claws as well.

You might've had a point if Catwoman was just a sexy cat burglar. Surely you know Selina has a deeper purpose than to look sexy on rooftops.

what is your idea for "a way that looks refreshing" exactly? that was the point of my post, there is no conception of a cat bulgar beyond what we've already seen.
A cat burglar that utilizes speed, aggressiveness, and style. Just the idea of seeing Selina jump off skyscrapers and being chased through rooftops is enough of a visual gleam to separate itself from the various cat burglars depicted in cinema so far. Sexiness and spectacle is what she brings to the table, as far as being just a burglar is concerned.

Nolans Gotham has advanced technology, it's logical to assume it's museums and safehouses would have too.
Every piece of advanced technology in Nolan's series has been explained through the military. Museums and such are far from the same thing.

For instance what if Catwoman has 'laser tips' on the ends of her fingers that cut through glass AND short circut entry keypads? instead of the "old draw a circle on the window with your claws" type thing. the same laser tips would be her offensive cat 'claws', they'd leave glowing SFX trails in the air like tiger slashes. not saying that's what I'd do, just an example. actually thats not an example it's rather superficial to the point I'm trying to make. the catburglar is a staple of advertisments now. by definition that makes it a stereotype and cliche
Like I said before, I'm not against utilizing gadgets to suit her needs as a burglar in the modern age. Your particular example seems a bit too much though, it would have been more fitting as it's own individual gadget not related to her costume.

How do the gadgets we have look futuristic?
I didn't say it did. I was giving an example of what would be deemed as too hi-tech.

The straps are used as repelling harness,
Fair enough. Looks like too many straps for a harness, but it's suitable. Has the artist thought of painting the piece? That may give a better idea of the concept. Having everything black would make these elements blend in much better.

those are not heavy armor plates they are a lit weight material designed to take a small about of shock,
Well it looks like armor plates, what can I say. If it was what you say it is, I would think it'd look softer and not so defined. Again, having the piece be colored would give a better idea.

again those are not robotic arms they are gauntles simular to what Nightwing wears in the comics. Her gloves had to be practical in order to fit into a Nolan film, but she still had to have claws as well.
It looks robotic, hence my description. I was asking what exactly it's used for, that it has to look so mechanical.

Hey I was right about the repelling harness straps! The one thing I will disagree is the need for 'claws', I'd say more optional piece, the rest of the glove is good though. Also, what amount kind of 'shock' are you referring to? Falling? What kind of material is it meant to be?

[batboy99]

I think the design works well for a more ''realistic'' approach

Im working on a manip of catwoman(Eliza of course) that is loosely based on that drawing

We are working on the straps now. I also think there are too many. Yes, it will be in full color. Storage and to operate her claws.

IMO if she doesn't have claws then she's not Catwoman. Just as like she needs a whip and cat ears. Yes, falling and back support. I will have to ask him that question.

I agree with both of these suggestions. Either Emily Deschanel or Rachel McAdams would both be good choices for the role of Catwoman in the next Batman film, should they decide to introduce the character again.

[Keyser Soze]

I've said this before, but casting Selina Kyle is tough. While the temptation is there to cast the hottie of the moment, I think it's important not to skew too young with Selina. She's someone who's lived, who has been toughened with worldly experience. As a true equal to Bruce Wayne, she should probably be in the same age range as Christian Bale, so early 30s.

[anrrd_2]

emily deschanel as selina and zooey deschanel as harley!!!! its freakin perfect!:woot:

[batboy99]

definetly not

[Bat Fan]

emily deschanel as selina and zooey deschanel as harley!!!! its freakin perfect!:woot:

I haven't seen much of Zooey's work, so I can't comment on her, but Emily is great on the TV show Bones and I'd like to see her play a character that is much different from that one, just to see what she would do with such a character, and Catwoman is probably about as different from her Bones character as a character possibly could be.

[Laderlappen]

A bit underqualified.

No younger than 30, or at least someone who looks like they're in their early 30's. Effectively, they should be casting Bale's female equivalent.

[Crook]

I don't think casting someone that's at least 30 is all that important. I can easily see someone in their mid-to-late 20s pulling off Selina just fine. The character is YOUNG by nature after all.

[jmc]

As long as the girl doesn't look 21.

[Laderlappen]

Yeah, I think if she's not 30 she should atleast look like shes in her 30s.

[Crook]

...why?

[Laderlappen]

Same reason Bruce shouldn't look like he's in his 20s. I think Selina should look mature and grown up. Why would you want somebody whos in her 20s?

[Crook]

Is there something wrong with how a woman looks in her late 20s? I'm not saying I'd be bothered with a 30-something, but I'm not gonna say it's mandatory.

Bale is young looking himself and Selina should look about the same, if not, a bit younger. This isn't them in their prime, whereas in BR, that's probably how you'd see Michelle and Michael, despite the story saying otherwise.

[Laderlappen]

I just dont think Selina should be that young. But like you said, Selina should be around Bruce's age. Which woul make sense to have Selina in her 30s when Bale is like 35.

[jmc]

The Cat should have some level of maturity, not look like just some college hottie. 30 isn't mandatory for the actress, but the girl should at least look it.

[ModestMr.Green]

What about Famke Janssen? She may be older than Bale, but she doesn't look old.

[az824]

i think she just look mature, her age doesnt matter, u can cast a 22 year old if she looks mature enough to play catwoman and be bale's other half

[az824]

famke's way too old, shes in her mid 40's and its starting to show

[batboy99]

i love famke, but she doenst look bales age, i mean shes still hot, but she does look older

[az824]

plus she's already had a main role as Jean Grey (one of the main reasons why Berry was sooo wrong for catwoman)

[batboy99]

true, but i dont think halle was wrong for the role cuz of that, that was the least of her problems.

[jmc]

I believe if you've already portrayed a comic character on film, you shouldn't be cast as another, don't know why, it just the idea of an actor playing multiple comic characters bugs me.

[batboy99]

same here

[David Rice]

What about Famke Janssen? She may be older than Bale, but she doesn't look old.

Nah.

[DieSmiling]

I still think Kate Beckinsale is the perfect Catwoman to Bale's Batman. But then again I've got a bit of a crush on her.

Kate B has her moments of looking stunning; also I feel she is an absolutly amazing actress and the best female actress of this decade.

ya, Cate Blanchett. I don't know how to spell her name. Was there another Kate B?



Reads over...eh Beckinsale has a nice rack

[flickchick85]

Well, I know she wouldn't pass you most of you guys' "hotness requirement," but I would love to see the other Kate, Kate Winslet, in this role. Granted, this is a female perspective, but I just think Selina should be more of a classic beauty than "hot." Winslet has this retro-beauty look that I think could be perfect. Plus, I've always wanted to see her do a movie with Christian Bale (since they are 2 of my favorite actors), and be directed by Chris Nolan. She's also the right age for Christian. And for the record, I do think both Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett are two of the best actresses (if not THE BEST) of all-time. They're just amazing.

Charlize or Kate Beckinsale wouldn't be bad choices either, but I would not want to see Angelina as Catwoman.

As for Winslet as the Cat, never thought of her before, but I wouldn't have any complaints. And I'll agree she has that very classic Hollywood beauty look.
