Catwoman / Selina Kyle thread

[BatmanBale]

i like jolie and beckinsale!....hubba hubba

Yeah good choices for Selina what about Theron?

[Timstuff]

How? she looks nothin like Selina.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I've seen Chronicles of Riddick, and she did not strike me as Catwoman. My top two choices are still Beckinsale and Theron.

[Super_Ludacris]

People are gonna say no but I was watching Rules of Attraction again last night and I think maybe Jessica Biel is a decent backup choice. Yeah I said it

[Nightwing]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I've seen Chronicles of Riddick, and she did not strike me as Catwoman. My top two choices are still Beckinsale and Theron.

To me,those two are the best choices thus far.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

How? she looks nothin like Selina.

In terms of sexiness :o

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Frank Miller's Year One is the only example I can think of, but I think there was more.She's clearly not black in Y1. I have the original print of the story, a TPB and the hardcover anniversary edition of it and she is not black in any of them.

[BatmanBale]

Kate Beckinsale started in a movie with Bale, I can't remember name of the movie but Beckinsale would be great Catwoman/Selina Kyle.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Prince of Jutland

[Timstuff]

Wasn't there also one called Laurel Canyon or something like that?

[BK]

Well thank god I found a person that firmly believes that. I don't know how many times I went back and checked the comic to see if I was blind... :o

[Super_Ludacris]

Laurel Canyon was an ok movie

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Wasn't there also one called Laurel Canyon or something like that?

My God you're right...I didn't see that one, thanks for pointing it out.

It'd be cool to see both of them on the big screen as superhero and supersexywoman, because they've been together in terms of acting for two movies, and a third would be like an old reunion, plus, she's from London and he's from Wales...I dunno why I just said that, but they're both English citizens.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Laurel Canyon was an ok movie

Which one? There was two :D

Is it good (the one with Beckinsale and Bale), because I heard some good stuff about it.

[Super_Ludacris]

there's only one isn't it?

[Nightwing]

there's only one isn't it?

Heres the first one,which I wouldnt really call a movie.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0125827/

And heres the one with Bale and Beckinsale.

[Bullseye]

Speaking of Becksinsale, anyone see Underword sequel?

[Nightwing]

Speaking of Becksinsale, anyone see Underword sequel?

I did yesterday,it was worth my money.

[Bullseye]

Beckinsale in tight black leather... reminds me of Catwoman.

[Two-Face]

I haven't seen the movie yet.

[Bullseye]

I didn't see the first movie.

[Nightwing]

Beckinsale in tight black leather... reminds me of Catwoman.

Thats why I want to see someone try and do a manip of those Beckinsale pics from UE.

I haven't seen the movie yet.

You'll like it.

I didn't see the first movie.

See the first before you see the second.

[Bullseye]

I will rent the movies sometime.

[da creole kid]

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Thats why I want to see someone try and do a manip of those Beckinsale pics from UE.

Here' an extremely rough manip of what she would look like (I'm sorry I couldn't find a mask that looked good AND fitted, so this one sorta just fits)

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/Chattery/selene17.jpg

I wouldn't mind having Beckinsal as Catwoman, but it'd be nice if she kept her British accent, though I think some silly fanboys wwould highly detest it...but I think it adds more sexuality to the character, just listen to Jolie in Tomb Raider...but then again, if they chose to let Selina Kyle be British or live in Britain for god knows, what would really be the point of that if they hired an American actress like Jolie?

That's why, although I would love for Beckinsale to be Catwoman, I'd rather Jolie, not just on accent terms, but full on sex appeal and sexuality...

thanks for noticing...:o

Nice manip,I appreciate the attempt.Thats the mask Berry wore isnt it? I would like to see more manips of her,and this one just wants me to see Beckinsale is the role even more.Keeping the british accent wouldnt add that much deph to the character considering Selina is not british.She should do the same thing she did when she was in the Aviator.

Jolie is my second choice as Ive always said,and I agree with what you said about her.

thanks for noticing...:o

Honestly,I dont know how I missed it....:o

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

lol sorry, and thanks for the appreciation, I can try a better one if you wish, because I know I can do better.

[Two-Face]

Don't do Berry's Catwoman style that sucked.

[TheSpyAssassin]

Isnt it even more impossible that Jolie may have a chance as a Catwoman if she is currently pregnant? And regardless if she can give birth in time for a batman movie......i doubt they will introduce Catwoman into the franchise anytime soon (sadly...). But if they cant get Jolie i will Side with Beckinsale and i agree no other woman has proven she get handle tight black leather better than Beckinsale at this moment.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Dude...stop worrying...they probably won't shoot until this december or early next year as it comes out in 2008 (according to IMDb)

[Two-Face]

Dude Jolie would have given a birth since it only takes 9 months not two years.

[Timstuff]

Yeah, if what we're hearing abot Rachel Weis playing Talia has any truth to it, then pregnancy would not be an issue, since she is said to be playing Talia a month or two after she gives birth. Selina Kyle might not even show up until the third movie (which realistically would probably start filming in late 07 at the absolute earliest).

Although I still don't really want Jolie as Catwoman for many other reasons. I think Beckinsale would be a much better choice.

[BK]

If Selina doesn't at least show up the sequel, I'd be highly disappointed. So many characters should've been introduced in the first, like Harvey, and I feel Selina deserves that too. She's just as important to the mythos as any other major character. And seeing as how we can't be guaranteed of another good director/writer/crew when Nolan and Bale leave, I want the best possible for this current franchise.

[Nightwing]

lol sorry, and thanks for the appreciation, I can try a better one if you wish, because I know I can do better.

No need.

Shes 5 months prengnant as said by reports.So if she gives birth by ythen which is perhaps in June,she'll have plenty of time to prepare her self if ever cast for the role of Catwoman in a sequel.

And Im with you on that Beckinsale bit.

Dude...stop worrying...they probably won't shoot until this december or early next year as it comes out in 2008 (according to IMDb)

No,pre production starts late this year and filming is scheduled to begin early next year

Exactly.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Dude Jolie would have given a birth since it only takes 9 months not two years.

Yeah, that's the birth, so she'd be able to work on a Batman sequel had they got her...how's that confusing? :confused:

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

No,pre production starts late this year and filming is scheduled to begin early next year

Exactly, so if Jolie gave birth before they started filming (granted Catwoman's in the sequel) then they wouldn't have a problem because it was ... what? A wekk or two ago I heard about Jolie's pregnancy, so she'd def. have the baby before the end of the year, which could give her 2-3 months to shape back up and then head off the shooting...

















what a tiresome schedule :(

[Timstuff]

Beckinsale going to be on Leno tonite. Yay! :)

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

:o

The only late night host I even care to wacth is David Letterman...he's actually funny :)

[callowayweather]

Thandie as Selina? Yes, I like it. I still say Rachel MacAdams, however.

[Super_Ludacris]

:o

The only late night host I even care to wacth is David Letterman...he's actually funny :)

As I've said before shes 5 months pregnant as said in reports so she will be due to give birth in June I would hope.Anyway she has plenty of time if ever to get cast....

Conan too

I watch him from time to time,he's hilarious.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Sorry I didn't know she was THAT pregnant. As I said before we only heard about it a few weeks ago.

[callowayweather]

YES! her too

I honestly think Rachel's the best choice. She's pretty, popular, not too big of a star, and has great chemistry with whoever.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

hehe that doesn't sound right...popular, and not too big of a star. Yeah, that's not mind-boggling at all? :confused:

[Nightwing]

Sorry I didn't know she was THAT pregnant. As I said before we only heard about it a few weeks ago.

No problem.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Am I the only one that wants a Catwoman in the first sequel (oh yes, there will be more than one!)?

But I wouldn't mind if they introduced Harvey Dent and Selina Kyle in the sequel...maybe throw a bit of patience and it could all go smoothly...;)



Get it?

[da creole kid]

Mia Kirshner!

[Two-Face]

Angelina Jolie!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Why are we talking like this!

[Two-Face]

I don't know! it's cool! lol

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY!

Anyways...I talked to my brother and he thinks Selina shouldn't be in the sequel, or the next movie, because he thinks she's a weak character.



WAIT. DID I JUST TYPE THAT?!!

She the only really interesting villianess because she isn't bad but she isn't good either and she's damn sexy to boot. I mean, who would want Magaret Thatcher running around Gotham in leather? Not me! Especially on a cold day.

[Two-Face]

WHAT?! lol

I think Catwoman would great make Selina Kyle love-interest to Bruce Wayne then Catwoman would be great villian to Batman

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm warming up to the fact that we NEED Selina in the sequel, THEN have Catwoman in the second sequel...show bits of Catwoman in the first sequel...then full on lash her out in the second sequel!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

What I mean is that show signs of her turning into Catwoman nearer the end

[Timstuff]

Catwoman IMO is a much more interesting love interest than most of the other ones you see in comics, so I can't understand how someone could call her character weak. Unlike the typical Lois Lane/Mary-Jane type character, she fends for herself. But she's not a complete hard@$$, and they don't try to make you believe that she's somehow equal with Batman on the physical level. She's a strong woman, but she's also got a very soft feminine side to her.

Also, there's her very interesting relationship with Batman/Bruce Wayne. It's not the typical story of "Oh, can I tell her? What if my enemies found out? Can she handle it?" or any of that. It's almost like an interesting spin on Romeo and Juliet, with two lovers trapped on seperate sides of a conflict. Catwoman of course starts out as a thief, and that puts her and Batman on opposite sides of the law. Later though, after she reforms, Bruce Wayne has become so consumed by his Batman persona that he's becoming paranoid, and even though he knows deep down that he needs Selina, he is seemingly in-capable of trusting anyone, not even the woman he loves.

The fact that their relationship evolves over time is part of what makes it so interesting. It's really one of the deeper love stories that you'll find in comics, and IMO it deserves to be done justice in a film.

[Two-Face]

Yeah that would great, maybe when Bruce goes to Roman Sionis Company to take over then meets Selina Kyle.

Well said and I agree, Timstuff least we agree on something:up:

[Brian2887]

When / If Selina shows up, I would not be surprised to see Scarlett Johansson in the role. She's in The Prestige, Nolan's upcoming film with Christian Bale and Michael Caine. If Prestige is any indication, Nolan likes to work with actor's he's comfortable with. A few have followed him from film to film, and if he forms a good working relationship with Scarlett, she just may end up in the Batman franchise.

I wouldn't be upset with that choice either. She's a little young, but she doesn't look it. She's a mature, beautiful actress who would really fill out the suit well.

[Timstuff]

Johansson is a very good actress, and when I think about it I wouldn't mind her as Catwoman at all. Beckinsale and Theron are still my top two though.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Johansson is sorta "meh" for me.

[Eddie Dean]

I can't see her as Catwoman, but she could make a great Batgirl or Harley Quinn.

My top choice is still Dagmara Dominczyk.

[The Jengeneer]

Hi all, I was lurking around as a visitor looking for TDK news, since I'm a fan of the kind, and I noticed this interesting thread you guys got going on here so I thought of putting in my thought:

Looking at the pattern of actors Nolan seems to cast for his take on Batman, something doesn't stick to me on casting a big name like Jolie, Beckinsale, Theron and so on for Catwoman. Although if Jolie was a bit more unknown, or the casting hype was in her days just after the first Tomb Raider she's nail the role as I think she wouldn't need to act very hard to portray Selina :woot:

So presuming they'll have Catwoman in the franchise [too great a character to waste, Nolan's a logical person:cwink: ] the casting choice in my opinion would be Jolene Blalock [someone post a pic please coz I'm kinda bored to bother with it right now :woot: ]. She's not too famous, more sort of a status like Bale before BB, she looks Selina-ish:oldrazz: [with a killer look and an athletic bodytype] , shown in Enterprize she can kick ass and I think she's got an acting talent somewhere in there as I find the portrayal of stiffarsed-vulcan-scientist-turned-emotional-wreck-struggling-for-control-of-herself quite convincing [if any of you watched Star Trek: Enterprize you'll find that voice trembling she does very good and convincing that she's experiencing first time emotions and tries to hold the act together really hard, more so after hearing that she disagreed with the way her character was evolving!]

That's my 2 cents and I don't know about the rest but I consider it highly probable. Also I don't know if anyone mentioned her again in this thread since I got bored at around page 20something and just posted a reply :oldrazz:

[grimlock]

I always thought of Nolan's Batman as classy. Catwoman is too campy and sleazy. I know some only want Selina because of sex and boobs
but I even doubt this is Nolan's taste and morals.
Even ultra sexy movies dont sell well among the crowd these days.

[batboy99]

my choice is ricci but scarlett is in a close second

Campy and sleazy? What? Maybe the Halle Berry version, but the recent comic book Catwoman certainly isn't campy and really isn't sleezy. I think she would work great, especially if Nolan used TLH take on her. Throw out the prostitute crap that Millar wrote in Yr1, but keep her the estranged daughter of a crimelord who had to work like hell to make it into the upper class, but also steels from them out of anger. She's certainly better character then Rachel. People don't want a "campy sleazy" Catwoman, that's why the Catwoman movie tanked. Sure, we like seeing an attractive chick in a skin tight suit, but we also want her to be true to her chracter in the comics, not some meaningless character that's thrown into the movie so we can stare at her.

[Infinity9999x]

*edit*

[Crooklyn]

Holy crap, this thread brings back ol' memories. :(

[Keyser Sushi]

Yeah, me too. It brings back memories of how it belongs in a totally different forum because Selina won't be in TDK. :o

[Dr. Fate]

Whoever plays Selina Kyle/Catwoman in future Batman films needs a deep, throaty voice with a slight pur (purr?) in it. Catwoman is something of a femme fatale, she should sound like it - she shouldn't sound like a 7-year old, which is the case with a lot of the up-and-coming actresses these days (case in point: Katie Holmes, the quote unquote "leading lady" of Batman Begins).

[Crooklyn]

LOL!!!

You know, I... I really don't want her to be Catwoman, should Catwoman ever appear in this series... and I don't know why.

I freely admit that she seems perfect for the role.

But I don't really want her to do it. Would it be strange of me to say that she seems like too big a star? I don't know, I can't explain it.

[Keyser Sushi]

Who? What? ???

He's saying you're blind, Hypertime. Blind as a turnip.

She's too tall, Keyser. Isn't that good enough reason in itself? Not petite enough.

I refer you to pages 1-23. :p

Seriously though, I admit that's probably the only legitimate claim anyone can make that's anti-Jolie for this role. Yeah it's Nolan, but idk, maybe I'm just too biased at this point, but Nolan's worked with some of the most popular actors in the game. And Jolie does seem to be taking better roles recently, but eh.

Maybe it's time to let go. But dammit her getting cast in Sin City 2 just kept my hope up. :(

[Keyser Sushi]

She's too tall, Keyser. Isn't that good enough reason in itself? Not petite enough.

I dunno, man. I mean, Michael Keaton is awfully damned short but he was a pretty badass Batman. I'd feel hypocritical playing the height card on anybody.

[Crooklyn]

....she's 5'8. Not exactly humongous. :huh:

I know, I know. Despite being in some truly horrid movies, she's a strong actress, and certainly easy on the eyes. And yes, Nolan has no aversion to star power, as the cast of Begins easily proves.

She just feels wrong for the role, to me, and I can't really explain it in any concrete way.

Maybe it's time to let go. But dammit her getting cast in Sin City 2 just kept my hope up. :(

On the other hand, I look forward to her in Sin City 2. That, to me, makes perfect sense. :up:

I haven't either, but it's Angelina Jolie in a Sin City movie. Odds are you get your wish.

I have to agree with Timsuff... man knows his stuff!

http://www.gothamcitycentral.com/

[David Rice]

If Angelina Jolie is in Sin City 2 you can bet that she'll be naked.

Look at the facts: Sin City + Fank (Horny Dude) Miller = naked Joile. not that we haven't seen all she's got before, but once more won't hurt. Nuff said.

[Sentinel X]

What happened to Ali Larter for Catwoman?

Or for that matter Angelina Jolie for Ivy?
I seriously don't think Ali Larter would be a bad choice. After seeing her in the episode 'collison' of heroes were she slept with Nathan, and threatened to put her heel through that guy's skull...she definately has the personality

[Dr. Fate]

I hate to do this, but I must say no to the idea of Christina Ricci and/or Scarlett Johanasson (probably spelled that wrong) as Catwoman. They seem too young and too small/short (yes, I know Keaton wasn't all that tall, but we're not talking about Keaton here).

[batboy99]

What happened to Ali Larter for Catwoman?

Or for that matter Angelina Jolie for Ivy?
changed my mind about both of em

Lol, you switch up more than babies do diapers. :o

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

You just want her so you can interview her and she'll be nice to you lol

She's hot, nice, but not Selina IMO. I really dunno who can be Selina, but whoever Nolan picks I trust in his desicion...however, I doubt Catwoman or Selina will be in TDK...I just don't...

[batboy99]

she probably wont be in tdk,i hope shes in sequels though
lol crookly,i do switch alot i like ricci the most ofr the role but im starting to like scarlett a little more (not more than ricci though)i think it is cuz scarlett can act older than she is and looks older than 22 but i still think ricci is the best imo

[Macphisto]

nah shes hotter than sienna

What happened to you. Last year you supported Jolie. :(

I'm cheating on her with Sienna.


In my mind.

[batboy99]

ok TBH,i do got more than one casting desicion right now,in first is Ricci,close second is Larter and in 3rd is Scarlett,and i guess you can say charlize and Jolie in fourth??Even though i would still rather see jolie as ivy

[Nepenthes]

Beckinsale really looks the part, but I'd prefer an actor for the role.

Jolie.....yeah right. She's a one woman show. A Catwoman movie yeah fine but if she needs to work as a part of a whole, then no. Would not be a sensible movie.

I have a soft spot for Ricci but you could argue she dosn't have the mainstream appeal you could find in other actors. I daresay Theron might be perfect then.

[Two-Face]

Jolie Dammit!!

So? Nolan has worked with Robin Williams and Al Pacino in Insomnia or Carrie-Anne Moss andGuy Pearce in Memento. I suggest he should get Moss as Selina :rolleyes:

[The Techno Bat]

I like the idea of Christina Ricci as Catwoman/Selina Kyle.

[batboy99]

thanks techno

[The Techno Bat]

thanks techno

You are welcome! I just see her in that role. Alot of people want a young, youthful Catwoman and I think she fits the role perfectly. Plus she is a great actress unlike Jolie & Beckinsale

[batboy99]

and she wants the role ;)

[The Techno Bat]

and she wants the role ;)

That's the best, when somebody wants the role, it shows a ton of passion and that they are going to pour there heart and soul into the role, because they want it, not because of a paycheck!

[regwec]

I don't have a problem with a young Catwoman, but I really would rather not have one that looks as physically frail and slight as Ricci.

[Det423]

nice

[The Techno Bat]

I don't have a problem with a young Catwoman, but I really would rather not have one that looks as physically frail and slight as Ricci.

She could get into that Catwoman shape if needed. I bet she would do it, and could do it

[batboy99]

yep!

[DorkyFresh]

after seeing Ricci's fine @$$ in the "Black Snake Moan" trailer...


...i'd actually like to see her play Catwoman.

[regwec]

She could get into that Catwoman shape if needed. I bet she would do it, and could do it
I'm sure that she could become physically fitter, but in my eyes she remains distinctly baby-faced and vulnerable in appearance. In the same way, Leonardo Decraprio could pile on the beef, but I wouldn't want him to play the T-101.

[Macphisto]

Thankfully Ricci will never be cast as Selina. Primarily because Nolan isn't ruled by his penis. Ricci is a talented actress but she's so wrong for this particular role my fingers are actually bleeding typing.

As said before she's so physically frail I doubt she'd have the strength to zip up her suit let alone put in the stunt work hours. No, I think we need someone who looks like they can handle themselves. It's Catwoman and not Catgirl for good reason.

I don't mean to come across as a swine but there's also the issue of her head. I'll leave it at that...

Gotta say, though, I agree with Beckinsale being a crap actress. I have a plank of wood in my garden that has more charisma...

Christina is cute, but I've never liked her eyes. It looks like sometimes in some of the movies she's in that she hasn't slept in months. Still a cutie though.

Must agree about Ricci, I like her just not as Selina. I don't fully that Beckinsale is a crap actress. She can act, she just chooses bad roles.

What about Ann Hathaway for Selina? She was great in The Devil Wears Prada.

Why's that? :huh:

Because every movie Jolie is in becomes a 'Jolie movie' and nothing else. It's all about her and I don't see how that could be avoided. She's so hot I feel sorry for her.


Anne Hathaway is a good suggestion, but the more I think about it seems Selina should not be so conventionally pretty. Ricci has the same problem, she's so goddamn cute. Selina needs to look harder, and most of these actresses can't pull that off imo.

And hello physical frailty has nothing to do with nothing so let's just drop that right now. Two words: The Machinist.

[Crooklyn]

Erm...since when? If anything, that argument is worse during this time since practically all her past movies have had her as a background character!

Ever seen The Good Shepherd, Alexander, or Sky Captain? She was featured in those, yet didn't take anything away from the other actors. She did what she did, and that was that. No spotlight taking whatsoever.

Why do you think that may I ask?

In every story (other then BR and BYO) Selina has been a a uptown penthouse girl, I rich sociolite who is very pretty. BR wa Burton's world and as far as BYO goes, if your a female in a Frank Miller comic your either a hooker or a whore.

Selina is a classy lady who can kick ass! That's how she should be IF she is to be in the next movie. Like this:

I agree, that's why I think Hilary Swank would be good in the role, as she can look rough at times like in Million Dollar Baby.

[Nepenthes]

Hilary Swank is close but I wouldn't actually choose her. Although just to prove a point to gothamcentral...

http://www.numberone.com.tr/Portals/0/haber/H/H%C4%B0LARY%20SWANK,.jpg

...a tougher looking woman can STILL be your classy 'uptown penthouse girl'.


When I say 'not conventionally pretty' what I really mean is 'not so CUTE'. Attractive of course, but someone who is perhaps more threatening. Admit it even in Tomb Raider Angelina didn't exactly look like she would kick your ass (before she starts busting chops I mean). It's all the attitude and I don't think many of the actors mentioned here could do it. Visually, someone with more angular features would be good.


http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/5397/kimdirector8ei.jpg

Here is an almost perfect image of what Selina should be. Kim Director from Inside Man.


http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g74/ngorsh01/theroncat-2.jpg

And here is a Kim lookalike, who's also a big name star and a ridiculously talented actress. She is Catwoman, end of story.

She played Tomb Raider with a wink and a huge smile (she had to, she knew the film was crap :woot:) so that's not really a good example. But saying that, she did do "99 per cent" of the stunt work and fight scenes herself and could kick most of our arses here. And she certainly looks like she can do some damage - it's all in the crazy eyes and swaggering walk. Gia and Girl, Interrupted are great examples of this.

Theron would be great, too.

[batboy99]

ricci!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I wouldn't mind Charlize Theron as Selina...that's actually a really good idea.

I wouldn't mind Hathaway either. She'd be really good at the Selina "I'm really overworked and I need to finish this before Monday" sort of stuff, but actually as Catwoman? I don't really know if she can pull off the sexiness and the whole seductive escape techniques.

I am a Anne Fan but I think Theron would be perfect. As long as she hand blonde hair.

[batboy99]

what?! she doesnt look horrible!she doesnt look like shes eight,the second one she looks a little younger but the first one is awesome

[The Techno Bat]

Ricci looks great, and more importantly the film won't be a freeze frame picture, it will be a free flowing action movie and I think that Ricci is Catwoman/Selina Kyle.

She can step it up and perform, and be Catwoman, after all she has worked with one of the greats on numerous occassions...Mr Johnny Depp himself!

[batboy99]

yep!

Acting opposite a reasonable actor now qualifies you for any role? By that logic, Keanu Reeves must be a fine actor for starring opposite Anthony Hopkins in Dracula.

majik,who do you want?and just for the record,this is a casting thread,your supposed to post pics

[batboy99]

i like neve,just not for catwoman,if she was a little more 'big',she would be good but i havent seen her in much movies latley,eliza is a good choice too,but ricci is my personal favorite right now

[Spider-Fan83]

your also taking a pic where she gets beat:o
yes, that was my point, I was just saying, that he was all saying like, she looks fine @$$ in this trailer, so i when and found the trailer to see her fine @$$ in it, and she looked like that in it, and i was just like, what is fine about that, his misleading promotion of her appearance in the trailer, caused it to catch me off guard, in thinking that I might see her look really good in it, you know what I mean

[David Rice]

how have i lost it??thats kinda stupid to say,people who are supporters for jolie post twice as much pictures then i have posted

Just for the record I don't like Jolie for the role either. I can't see either of them doing it. I don't think Ricci has the "look' and these pictures prove my point. Jolie is Jolie, as someone else pointed out all her moives are about her. And her "look isn't right either. It's nothing personal man, I just don't like ricci for the role and I'm just messing with you. :woot:

[batboy99]

i think she can pull it off but then again thats me,i dont care if no one agrees with me,i like her and im sticking with her(unless i switch to someone else which i hope not) lol
and spider-fan,i get you,she does look pretty good when shes walking on the street though(that pic that was released,and in the poster she looks hot)

[David Rice]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Majik1387/castings/christinaR091.jpg

Much better pic, I'm not saying I don't think she's hot. I just saw the Black Snake Moan poster and I want to go bang her now. When I say "look" I mean the Selina look. Like this:

Uptown girl, Classy, Sophisticated, Sexy, Natual beauty, Dark hair, Dark eyes, Athletic, ect.

This picture of Ricci is hot, but kinda ****y. It say's "BANG ME. NOW!!!!"

The picture of Hathaway say's: "Buy me dinner, take me home and then bang me!"

[David Rice]

I love Anne Hathaway but the only thing that's keeping her out of my choices for Catwoman is that she isn't/doesn't look athletic. I can picture Ricci, Dushku, and Campbell kicking ass before I can see Hathaway.

I still love her though. Her resemblance to Judy Garland is amazing to me.:yay:

SEE! That's what I mean! She can get athletic thou... Just look at Carrie Ann Moss in the Matrix films. I don't I konw, just love her! After I saw her in The Devil Wears Prada I thought of Selina.

Also, just for the record I'm not talking Catwoman just yet! We need to build up to that! I WANT SELINA! Not for a love interest! FOR A REAL FEMALE LEAD! A real charcter from the comics! NOT KATIE! A REAL WOMAN NOT A GIRL! :woot:

[David Rice]

I can see Anne as Selina but that's it...at the moment.
I used to want her for Barbara Gordon before BB was made.

You wait! Give ME just one week with the girl. She'll be kicking ass!

No, Christina would be all scratching and hair pulling and then Charlize would deck her once and stomp her head into ground :cwink:

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Okay......

I think the answer is clear....:woot: :oldrazz:

Charlieze. Christina looks more of the biting/clawing-type. Charlieze looks like she could be a trained fighter. Besides, even if "AEON FLUX" sucked, Charlieze did prove she is a worthy and deservable candidate for Selina/Catwoman.

[ForeverKnight]

OK, there hasn't really been any talk from people connected to the project that she'll be in the movie, but since this is a new forum, I figured we could use a thread to discuss the possibility of Catwoman / Selina Kyle being in the movie.

Personally, I think she should be played by Kate Beckinsale, wearing the Catwoman costume that was seen in Hush. I've come up with what I think is a pretty good background story for her. I think her origin should sort of rhyme with Batman's, but not repeat it.

Selina would have had a very tough childhood. She grew up in a crappy part of Gotham, her dad ran off when she was a kid, her Mom died, and she has a kid sister who she was struggling to support, even though she herself was still a minor. She did confide in a good friend of hers though; and elderly woman who lived next door, who took care of stray cats. Often times, Selina and her sister would go over and feed the cats with her.

Selina had great skill in learning gymnastics, and in desperation to support her sister and herself, she began to employ these skills as a theif. One night though, she stole from the wrong man: Carmine Falcone. Selina managed to escape from Falcone and his thugs, but she was far from safe.

Falcone knew who she was, because he was, in fact, her real biological father. He sent his thugs to her home, where they proceeded to trash the place and tormented Selina's sister. Poor Selina looses custody of her Sister, and is ordered by the CPS not to see her during her psychological therapy.

Selina decides to use the money she got from theiving to travel to Europe, where she hones her skills and becomes a master theif. She also learns martial arts so she can better defend herself. She returns to Gotham as a wealthy socialite, and at night she is "Catwoman" a persona she created because she identified herself with her friend's stray cats. Her mission is to put an end to poverty in Gotham, so that people won't be forced to steal to survive, like she once had to.

Discuss. :)

Personally, I would rather see Bruce researching her past history. Have Catwoman show up and then Bruce playing the detective looking through old newspaper articles to find out her past, that type of thing, rather than having a whole origin story on screen, like they did in BR. But I do agree with what other people said about having her show up as Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight, and possibly turning her into Catwoman in the 3rd or beyond, rather see that than have Catwoman in TDK.

[Nepenthes]

Uncovering her past is good idea ^. It showcases Batmans talent and it's easier to fit into any given script, which means less rubbish.

Introducing Selina before Catwoman can work either way. Thing is, if you already know Selena before Catwoman shows up, NO ONE in the audience isn't gonna guess it's her. Then you have Batman puzzling over her identity, and the audience and the hero are now on different levels. In a Batman movie we should always have the same information, otherwise it's not a mystery it's just a plodding and contrived.

Personally, I would rather see Bruce researching her past history. Have Catwoman show up and then Bruce playing the detective looking through old newspaper articles to find out her past, that type of thing, rather than having a whole origin story on screen, like they did in BR. But I do agree with what other people said about having her show up as Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight, and possibly turning her into Catwoman in the 3rd or beyond, rather see that than have Catwoman in TDK.

Good I idea! Got for just Selina in TDK!

[Milkman95]

So? Nolan has worked with Robin Williams and Al Pacino in Insomnia or Carrie-Anne Moss andGuy Pearce in Memento. I suggest he should get Moss as Selina :rolleyes:

Don't roll your little eyes at me - Nolan is known for working with actors he's worked with before.

Why do you think Pearce's name comes up all the time? Why did Robin Williams' name come up for a part?

[The Techno Bat]

Okay......
Who would win a fight? Christina Ricci or Charlize Theron?
I think the answer is clear....:woot: :oldrazz:

Christina Ricci all the way on this one!

[batboy99]

no :o,ill take theron over jolie anyday
im also liking neve campbell for second place next to ricci,i wish neve was in more movies though :(

[GDM]

Sorry for asking but is Selina Kyle going to be in TDK?

[batboy99]

from as far as we know,no but i hope she is....or in other sequels

[Milkman95]

NO to Jolie.

[batboy99]

i agree
hey,that rhymes,lol watch i bet you were gonna get someone like drew berrymoore for catwoman lol

[Crooklyn]

I wonder...if the small chance that Jolie did get the role, what would you guys do? :o

[Crooklyn]

Same answer everyone would give had "Ledger as Joker" been brought up 2 years ago. :o

[Crooklyn]

Oh you mean like Bale as Batman? :o

[batboy99]

if she did get the role,i wouldnt be furious

[Crooklyn]

No.
Yeah, ya prolly wouldn't know anything about that. :o

[batboy99]

Majik1387,are you making anymore catwoman manips?Preferably ones with Christina Ricci?

[Crooklyn]

No, I know he was a fan favorite for the role, but he wasn't(still isn't) as big a star name then as Jolie is now.
And?

What do you call Pacino and Robin Williams? B-Listers?

[Crooklyn]

....which still makes them A-listers. I'm really not getting your point here, lol. :p

[batboy99]

Majik1387,are you making anymore catwoman manips?Preferably ones with Christina Ricci?
bump........

[batboy99]

has this become a bale thread?lol

[Crooklyn]

The way I see it, the A-List has 3 stages. The true A-listers, the golden A-Listers, and the newcoming/possibly temporary A-Listers.

In my opinion, Bale is a true A-Lister, but if it wasn't for starring in Batman Begins, I highly doubt Hollywood would really use their time on himbecause the only other movies he's known for are American Psycho and The Machinist.
What does that have to do with anything? :confused:

[Crooklyn]

..and his is different from Pacino, than it is with Caine, than it is Neeson.

[Crooklyn]

Not really her fault though, she doesn't go out of her way to meet the media like some others. Most of the candid shots you see are with her kids, or in some 3rd world country. I think her situation is a bit different than say, Lindsay Lohan.

[Two-Face]

No.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Majik1387/roundhousekickbynorkels9.gif


Yes.:yay:

[nachoman]

I wouldn't mind seeing Christina Ricci playing catwoman.

I thought she could play Harley Quinn better though.

[Two-Face]

Oh I agree she doesn't do it on purpose but it doesn't help her any.

Well...no.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Majik1387/roundhousekickbynorkels9.gif

Umm yes:

http://www.horaz.com/10_People/Jolie_Angelina/PH/AngelinaJolie_PH_32.jpg

[Two-Face]

^Still no.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Majik1387/roundhousekickbynorkels9.gif



Those are cateyes!

[Crooklyn]

Oh I agree she doesn't do it on purpose but it doesn't help her any.
Oh agreed, but that shouldn't be held against her.

[Crooklyn]

I thought we just agreed Jolie wasn't in that type of category. :confused:

She doesn't even talk to the press about her personal life if she's promoting a movie. This is proven by her recent interviews in the Good Shepherd.

[batboy99]

ok,if she was cast,she would be good but i highly doubt she would,shes too 'conventional' and we all know nolan doesnt go with the conventional choice

[batboy99]

damn her eyes look scary here!

http://www.hotflick.net/pictures/Christina_Ricci_075.html
i like her look here
IMO she looks very much like selina on her bed here(just imagine the purse was a bad of jewels lol)

[ultimatefan]

Let´s look at that objectively... Why Jolie?

Feline expression? Check.

Hot and Sexy? Huh, elected sexiest woman alive, that´s as much of a certainty as you can get in that area - personal tastes are a different matter... So check.

Kick-ass chick? Tomb Raider, Mr and Mrs Smith, anyone? Check.

Bad girl/femme fatale? Well she´s known to be that even behind the camera... Check.

Acting chops? Oscar winner, also the closest to a certainty in that area, see her in Gia if you have doubts. Check.

Looks around the same age as Bale? Check.

[batboy99]

ok she would be a good choice,i wouldnt be mad is she got the role but shes too conventional as i mentioned before,is still picture her more as Ivy,but thats just me.

WOW! I couldn't say better myself. :up:

[David Rice]

Never gona happen! Nolan will never cast her.

[batboy99]

gothamcentral,who would you cast for catwoman?

[David Rice]

Same answer everyone would give had "Ledger as Joker" been brought up 2 years ago. :o

Ledger is a differnet story all together. Jolie would never get the role because of who she is. Her being in a Batman film would over shadow Batman. It would ALL be about her. Anyone who knows Batman movie history knows this.

These are the only two ladies I can see in the role. I am open to other ladies that have the same "LOOK".

Selina must be: Uptown girl, Classy, Sophisticated, Sexy, Natual beauty, Dark hair, Dark eyes, Athletic, ect.

[David Rice]

Kate Beckinsale can't really act though.

I think she can, in the right role. I'm not going off Underworld. I only use that pile of crap for the her looking good in tight black leather!

[batboy99]

i like beckinsale

[David Rice]

I was referring to all her movies.:ninja:

Oh... ok, well gota disagree then. Good in Pearl Harbor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213149/), Laurel Canyon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298408/) and the The Aviator (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338751/).

I'm really picky when it comes to the casting of both Selina and Harvey Dent becauise THIS time around I want GREATNESS! Not just good (BR) and bad (BF).

[batboy99]

i liked her in the aviator and pearl harbour,it would take charlize over her though

[David Rice]

I'm ok with her. She's really good. Just give her a wig, not more blonde Selina.

[batboy99]

why she can dye her hair,shes had dark hair before,im sticking with ricci but shes in a close second

[David Rice]

Theron is too damn fragile looking for Catwoman.

Maybe... :huh:

[batboy99]

Theron is too damn fragile looking for Catwoman.
not really,i prefer ricci though

[batboy99]

doesnt look bad to me

[ForeverKnight]

The actress I would like to see take the part of Catwoman is Ellen Pompeo. I don't know if it has been mentioned before but I can see her doing alot with the roll, she is a very good actress, in my opinion.

shes pushing 40 almost....she looks older than she is though but she is pretty

[David Rice]

how many posts do I need to get an avatar?

[David Rice]

SWEET! Thanks mang!

[batboy99]

what about eva longoria,i was just going through the rest of the thread and seen that someone mentioned her,shes attractive,she would look hot in leather,and has acted alongside bale,she could bulk up a bit though
http://www.eva-longoria.net/gallery/data/795/eva-longoria_net-photoshoot2004fhm-18.jpg
i think im liking her lol

[batboy99]

yes :o :p,ok so she isnt my first choice but i wouldnt mind her
my list right now is:
1.Ricci
2.Eva,Theron
3.Larter

[batboy99]

she can act!still ricci is better,ok fine what about,eva mendez,i seen some catwoman manips with her though shes in GR now

[StorminNorman]

Shannyn Sossamon, Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams for Selina.

[batboy99]

Shannyn,i just cant stand,portman,shes gorgeous,she would be a great selina,mcadams,shes hot too but would be a better vicky vale

[StorminNorman]

How can you not like Shannyn Sossamon yet like Ali Larter?

http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?src=image&clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixedasians.com%2F celebrity%2FShannyn.Sossamon-05.jpg&moduleId=stgD_image_details.jsp.M&clickedItemDescription=Image Details

[StorminNorman]

Shannyn Sossamon - Untalented skin and bones girl. Not even an actress really.
Natalie Portman - Beautiful, talented, but not right for Selina/Catwoman.
Rachel McAdams - Pretty, talented, a bit overrated but overall a good actress, but still not right for Selina/Catwoman.

Shannyn was good in Rules of Attraction,40 Days and 40 Nights and okay in A Kinghts Tale

Natalie Portman - Yes, Yes and she is the perfect fit for Selina. Selina has to come across as a strong, independent woman. Natalie fits that to a T.

McAdams does not come across as strong as Portman, but she is a good actress and I am sure that she can act the part.

[StorminNorman]

cuz i find larter much more attractive then well....her^i cannot stand her at all!

But Larter isn't a good actress. She is the weak link of a TV show - not right for a block buster movie.

[batboy99]

i used to want her,past tense thats why she is 3rd on my list and she can act

[GeoffTheArtist]

Okay, I can't think of anyone who could correctly do the role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman. But come on, bb99. Ricci? She's like 15 (or so) years younger than Bale. And (as far as I know) she hasn't done much, lately. And the stuff she has done as of late, she was terrible (I forget what that movie was called, but she was a **** in the film).

[Spider-Fan83]

she hasn't done much, lately. And the stuff she has done as of late, she was terrible (I forget what that movie was called, but she was a **** in the film).

well that norrows it down to only half her movies lol

here we go again:o i DONT CARE if you dont like her for the role,i ca ncare less if you think shes a ****(she isnt a **** in alotta movies,please i ca name 5 people who are bigger ****s)and i like her so too bad,not to mention she wants the role
Christina Ricci: Put Me in Batman 2
Goth girl Christina Ricci wants a role in any Batman Begins sequel.
Cursed star Christina Ricci told a Central Winchester newspaper she’d love to have a role in the Batman Begins sequel, if there is one.
plus i like her with blue eyes,and she would look good with green too

"I heard they want to bring Catwoman into the next one. I so loved Michelle Pfeiffer's performance in the original one, and I think if they want someone to play the lead role - it's her. However, if they're looking for a younger Catwoman, someone more around Christian's (Bale) age - I'm available!", she said. "It would be great. That suit, the whip....wow. I will definitely have to get my agent onto that one".

If she plays Catwoman like Michelle Pfeiffer - then I know I don't want her.

Its is good that she wants the role, but that doesnt make her the best choice or the most qualified.

[GeoffTheArtist]

Ricci is 6 years younger than Bale.:o

o.o. OOOoooooh. Ok. I feel smarter.:up:

just cuz she likes pfeiffers catwoman doesnt mean shes gonna act like her,and as i said before,its my opinion and i dont care if people dont like it

[GeoffTheArtist]

It's okay bb99. You stand up for what you believe in! Fight the power, good buddy!:woot: I suck.

[batboy99]

no its ok that you dont like her im just sick of people saying,you should choose someone better,ricci sucks blah blah,thats their opinion not mine and thanks for the compliment
