Eliza Dushku is the same really though I know that'll piss batboy off for me saying that. Keri Russell isn't much either.
im not totally gonna disagree. Though eliza is better than Milano. Eliza is just type cast as the bad ass rebel chick. thats why i cant wait for dollhouse, eliza will become a new chracter every wekk and it will hopefully show some more actig range
and though eliza is my fave actress, im brave enough to admit keri is a better actress than eliza

Batboy, I can't wait for Dollhouse either! Eliza just needs better parts. Hopefully, Dollhouse will be the start of that.

I know shes not the best actress or candidate,but i feel shes gotten better from her charmed days and im sure she could improve by the time Catwoman is introduced. I also really like her looks for Selina/Catwoman for some reason

A great choice for Catwoman/Selina Kyle would be Sienna Guillory. I believe she's perfect for the role.
I can see how she receives her name, she wears the "Cat" suit but the GCPD believes she's part of Batman's wing. In order to clear this situation, Bruce decides to go out for the night to catch Two-Face while also being aware of Catwoman's presence. He runs into Catwoman somehow, it's just a brainstorming plot I'm talking about. However they fight for a bit, Batman falling for Catwoman's excuse of "Why would you hit a woman?" and so on they continue. As James Gordon and the police race towards a rooftop and sees the both of them fighting, Selina cracks out the whip; a couple of news photographers take photos of The Bat/Cat fight from afar; Wayne fails to subdue Catwoman, she says "-Mrrow" to her dance partner. After obtaining the photos, news reporters state her as Batwoman, till a reporter named Vale says, "Ya know without the cape, the short bat ears and with that whip, she kinda resembles a cat." So they settle with Catwoman.... I dunno what do you guys think? It's just an outline of the movie, just don't think of this scenario being campy. Revamp it in your own way.
At the end of it, I could see Two-Face taking Catwoman hostage saying, "(Says a couple of things then--)THESE ARE THE VERY PEOPLE WE PUT BEHIND BARS BRUCE, either "WE" TAKE HER OR THE LAW!" To which Batman responds, "The lady stays with me." Just try to imagine Aaron Eckhart and Christian Bale talking here. Then whatever conclusion you want after that.
I must question though, Why do we pick such villains like Talia Al Ghul? Is it that we have to follow the whole Trilogy rule of why the third movie fits with the first? I find a lack of taste because it's soo predictable to find out who's going to pop outta the shadows.... RAS!... She doesn't even have a costume! Think of toylines or writing a comic adaptaion of the 3rd movie, she just looks like a normal human being. The only thing it'll bring back is more ninja goons; after that Halle Berry disaster, you want to see a more serious version of Catwoman. Out of the female villains she remains the best out of them all and a lot more realistic than any others, besides the cat tempting the Dark Knight, wheras Selina falls in love for Bruce. This is how the hero tries to solve his relations with his friend (Harvey Dent) and his love for Selina. Remember Two-Face is without a shout of a doubt the main antagonist for the third movie, however since he's shown in The Dark Knight, it kinda ruins the surprise of what he's suppose to look like. So for those just saying 'just keep Two-Face as the major and only villain.' That's why you want to add a another villain (or love interest for Bruce Wayne) Why must we have a villain parade for the third movie? Look at Spider-Man 3 and look how that turned out.
I think we all know Catwoman deserves to be in the 3rd movie, Just the Cat, the Bat and the Face. No sidekick (sorry Batfam fans), no villain team ups, no campy moments, no bat nipples, no rush, and this is the third movie that descibes the coexistence between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Besides everyone loves this part about Batman.... His One Man War on Crime.
Just one man.
There's one question I like to know for the third movie.
I wonder how's Harvey going to get his henchmen?

She has the benefit of having the looks and acting chops, as well as not being too A-list. That's a vicious triple threat only hindered by that accent. :o
But hell, I do actually like the idea of having Selina speak with an accent, while Catwoman is speaking American. That'd be a pretty cool twist to the disguise, I don't think that's ever been done before with any comic book character.

okay sorry I know I've been away from the computer, ya know I have a life with friends, family (i quote: a man who doesn't spend time with his family is not a REAL man), and parties... I'm just playin', no hard feelings y'all... Anyways Angelina Jolie huh? Her movies are extraordinary I'll give you that; but I kinda like to give other actors and actresses a shot in the big leagues in movies. Example Quentin Tarantino with Zoe Bell (a freaking stuntwoman!) giving her a role about herself in Death Proof and did a really really good job! So we get Wanted.. Cool but heavily disappointed about ditching the whole Supervillain plot; and remember when we wanted her to become Ava in Sin City's A Dame to Kill For... and look where that went and quite possibly I don't think she'll want to take that role. I know it's in the works but with those kids popping out left and right; I have a feeling Brad and her going to have a tough time out with movies and all. So if she were to play Cats, you better pray to have Angelina not have anymore kids during filming for another Dark Knight Sequel...
Besides with Nolan sometimes casting English actors in American roles, Sienna probably has the upper hand but there are others we don't know who might be the Catwoman. I mean remember when Bale was chosen for Bruce Wayne and people were like ,"THAT GUY?! AMERICAN PSYCHO?! THE RACIST DUDE FROM SHAFT?!" Then holy craptastic Batman, that was freakin' awesome!
If the third movie were to be the last (hopefully it's a good one), and before Bale settles down the cape and cowl.... One thing I wish before it all ends.... This is for the fans.
AFTER THE CREDITS OR DURING IT, THE TRUE ENDING--- 30 years later in Gotham, snowing, dark... Crime alley.
Bale in his 50s in a suped up Batsuit, behind is the Batmobile, the next shot is Superman (played by Brandon Routh) saying, "Don't do this Bruce." Wayne returns, "Prepare what it takes (positions himself for a fighting stance).... To be a Man." Superman smiles.... The first punch is about to be thrown then black!
O hey thanks for supporting my choice guys and gals.

How so? She doesnt look like a man at all! Shes beautiful, but she aint no selina Kyle. But she is not a ''manface''. If it has something to do with her jawline or something, than Rhona Mitra is a man face as well(though i do find mitra very attractive)
Regardless of whether she's man-faced or not, Biel is just a crap actress in general and shouldn't be let anywhere near this series of films.

Ok-ish actress? are you joking? shes awesome. I bet your only sayint that cuz shes such a media icon and shes in every magazine making it hard ot see her in a role without thinking f angelina jolie. I have no doubt in my mind that if she wasnt so popular, people would praise her acting
and if you think shes not attractive, you must have extreamly high standards, probably too high, cuz jolie is a beauty.
And i admit, when she had that skinny ass body, she was looking a little old, but now that shes got the old body back, she look her age again.

06-08-2008, 10:54 AM
I said "not that attractive", she is attractive but just not really attractive in my opinion never enough to actually search for pics, check up fan sites or anything, or just watch a film cause she's in it. So far I haven't been impressed by her acting some of its good but nothing special though I did like her in Tomb Raider j/k.
I think she is okay but for the all the hype she gets its not deserve, who isn't in Hollywood nowadays I guess, but don't take my word for it cause I'm a man who likes to be different & is a retard spider monkey :D

You only don't like her cos she's famous and that's why you don't want her play Catwoman. that's fine but she's not ok actress. Jolie is an excellent actress.

I'm not further explaining all my points cause it results in yet another reply post from somebody rearranging the words of the first poster who disagreed but the truth is I don't think she is that hot nor a great actress, now you can either take that as my verdict on Jolie which it is or keep saying that I only say it cause she's famous or she's a media icon, blah blah, fact is I don't give a rat's ass how famous she is I just don't find her that attractive or a great actress.
You only don't like her cos she's famous and that's why you don't want her play Catwoman. that's fine but she's not ok actress. Jolie is an excellent actress.
Oh yeah I do respect other people I don't agree with it.
Funny how if you respect other people you don't agree with you try & make up a reason why you think I don't like her, plenty more people out there who don't like Jolie, granted most probably for her being overhyped but there are others like me, few but some.
And its nice to see somebody putting words in my mouth, nowhere did I say in my original post that I didn't want her to play Catwoman, all I said & I quote:
She's an okay-ish actress but I don't get everybody's love for this women, I just don't find her that attractive + she looks older than she is.

Angelina Jolie is a very talented actress, when she wants to be. But she's played the "badass sexpot femme fatale" role a few times now, and I think if she were to play Catwoman, it would just be a rehash of that, rather than something different.
Remember, Nolan didn't cast someone with a history of playing psychotic villains as The Joker. He cast Heath Ledger, who'd never played a villain before, to ensure we got something different and new. As a result, I wouldn't see Nolan going for the obvious route and casting Angelina Jolie.

It's because we all know what Jolie would be like, it's the Catwoman we can all see already, is that a bad thing? That depends on where you sit, if you're content with what's been done before, then Jolie is your girl, if you're bored at seeing her do the same thing again and again, then you want someone fresh who can perhaps give a different spin on the character.

Again, I bring up the BB cast. Most were satisfied with all the performances, were they not? And who was the only one that went against their typical role? Oldman. That's one out of like 7. Worked out fine.
I couldn't give a damn if part of her performance was to be expected, frankly because that's exactly what I expect of the character. This goes for Caine as Alfred, and Bale as Bruce. Absolutely no one here can honestly say their minds were blown by how those 2 approached their characters. But did that matter? Of course not.
There's only so many ways you can play a sexy cat burglar who dips on the side of good and bad. The role doesn't nearly provide the variance that say, Joker does.

I'm being condescending? How else am I supposed to respond to that sarcastic post you made? You clearly did miss the point or were trying to argue for no reason.
It was the equivalent of saying Neeson's role in SW and BB weren't similar because you don't remember Neeson wielding a lightsaber or training a prepubescent boy. I mean really, you'd have to try to not see the similarities in how he portrayed the role.
As for Caine, off the top of my head; Miss Congeniality, Prestige, and Cider House Rules. The last time I remember Caine putting an effort to play a different type of persona was in Children of Men.

Let me ask you this; is there some sort of radically different approach to the sexy and dangerous female that we haven't seen yet? At least compared to the type of performance we'd "expect" from Jolie? Would casting some of the recent fan-favorites like Keri or Marion, yield such an amazingly different performance in how Catwoman (not Selina) portrays herself?
This argument suits Joker much more than it would Catwoman. There are SO many ways you can portray a murderous psycho clown. You can not say the same for the alluring cat burglar. They're not even on the same level at all.
What we SHOULD be worried about, is how SELINA is going to be played. Now that, I can see an argument of not wanting to tread old ground. But as everyone has already pointed out, Jolie is only similar to Catwoman. There's a whole 'nother side to this character than the sexy girl with a cat mask. As someone pointed out earlier, Jolie can act her ass off if she wants to, moreover if the role is written very well.

I never said that playing Selina would be in the same vain as playing a normal character like Rachel, Alfred, or Fox. I know there are subtleties that are required because of her complexity. It still doesn't change the fact that when it comes to Catwoman, there's not much a degree of variance in portraying that side of the character. Just take a look at ALL the incarnations of her in the media, outside of the comics. They're all practically played the same way, and that's not a result of copying each other or lack of originality.

Again, Selina and Catwoman necessitate different types of performances. I have no reason to doubt that Jolie could pull of the Catwoman side, but I'm also confident she can act with the best of 'em on the Selina side. That's really up to the how well written the character is in the script.
If it's not, then I can see why Jolie would be wrong for it. She doesn't seem to be the type of actress to elevate the material well above it's actual quality. But otherwise, she is the type of actress to deliver if the dimensionality is there. I've yet to see her perform poorly on that front.

You can portray a character in many different ways.
I'm asking you to specify. According to you, there are "many different ways" of portraying Catwoman, so it should not be hard to list and describe a couple, now would it?
I disagree. Ok, all incarnations are simular written, but Michelle's performance is different from the other I think.
She's edgier, but that's due to the character being crazier. It's still very similar to all the other incarnations, however. Which just serves my point, considering how different the character really was from the traditional means of depicting her. And yet, Catwoman was more or less familiar.
The resemblance to Jolie's other roles is just a minor reason I dont want her for the part. The biggest reason is that I dont like her that much as an actress. She is alright sometimes but I prefer many other actresses. Dont think that I would turn her down only because of her other simular roles.
Fair enough, I can't argue with opinion. Though I still disagree that she's not capable as an actress for this role. Jolie's been fantastic when the role calls for it. But that's neither here, nor there.

And its very hard to describe in words. Like with Rachel Dawes, I imagine Maggie to not copy Katie Holmes but try to make a different take on the character. And whoever gets cast as Catwoman will do the same. Catwoman will be different in the same way Bale's Batman is different from Keaton or West.
But if we are talking about the character's "major" changes, I think she will be more anti-hero than a villian and less cuckoo than Michelle's for example. I'd also imagine Selina and Catwoman being portrayed as they were two completely different characters.

I cant really make an opinion on somebody just based on some pictures. I dont know if she has been suggested around here before or is somewhat famous. Apparanty her name is Jordana Brewster. Never heard of her before.
She's most famous for her role in The Fast & The Furious playing the Vin Diesal's character's sister (the one Paul Walker's character falls for), she's also been in the awesome film D.E.B.S., & also starring in the upcoming Fast & the Furious 4 film.
Personally I feel she couldn't really pull off the naughty but nice type, she played a character like that in in D.E.B.S. but just didn't get the naughty bit right, super hot though.

I think you are misunderstanding me Crook because what Im talking about is very obvious. And its very hard to describe in words. Like with Rachel Dawes, I imagine Maggie to not copy Katie Holmes but try to make a different take on the character. And whoever gets cast as Catwoman will do the same. Catwoman will be different in the same way Bale's Batman is different from Keaton or West.
But with Batman, there really are different takes to the character, as a result of the many different incarnations in the comics. With Keaton, it was the silent and calm Batman, while Bale approached an aggressive type that put out a scary facade.
I'm simply asking a few descriptions of the same thing for Catwoman, because I do not believe she has the benefit of having the same degree of freedom. Her Catwoman persona just has not changed in the same way that Joker or Batman has. The sexy thrillseeker provides little variance, no?
But if we are talking about the character's "major" changes, I think she will be more anti-hero than a villian and less cuckoo than Michelle's for example. I'd also imagine Selina and Catwoman being portrayed as they were two completely different characters.
I've already stated Selina is probably the one aspect that will change the most, and for the better. Most likely to resemble the comic book version more. I still maintain the position that Catwoman has very little to room to alter however.

If we have to put her in and I suppose we will because of the number of Catwoman fans (even if her books keep getting cancelled) then I think Beckinsale would be the best at it.... I think Jolie could pull it off too though...
I would prefer not to put Catwoman in though because whoever does it is either going to butcher her or make her role pretty pointless... shes a very difficult character to portray correctly on film

So here's a random suggestion; Since she's costarring with Bale ala Terminator 4, how would you guys feel about Bryce Dallas Howard as Selina?
http://www.tccandler.com/IMAGES/actresses/BryceDallasHoward/Bryce%20Dallas%20Howard%20HQ%20Busty.jpg
I'm pretty sure Bale has some influence on T4 with Jonah Nolan reviewing the script/story, maybe Howard could have a shot here.

I'd rather have Selina/Catwoman, or not at all. It's absolutely pointless to not explore their unique relationship.
And it wouldn't be a smart move to assume that there'll be a fourth. At least not when the rest of the cast is only signed up for 3. It'd be jarring to have that many recasts with one recurring cast member.

I am not sure what it is exactly that makes her difficult... I am just hesitant because we all know how much the fake Catwoman movie with Halle Barre sucked (mostly because it wasn't catwoman really) and I actually wasn't that impressed with Michelle Pfiffer's characterization either..... I am not sure what it is but I just dont trust Hollywood to portray her correctly
