Well, I know not many like her or the idea of a black Catwoman. Im not huge on the idea either, but after seeing these photos, Rosario Dawson looks great and looks like she can rock Selina Kyle, no matter her skin colour.

This would be a risky role for Rosario because I have not seen her play a confident, mysterious woman before. She usually plays the cute, quirky girl. I am for it but it is risky.


I am still for Angelina in this out of all other choices.

Did Ledger play Joker like character?

WeaponXProject
01-27-2009, 02:38 PM
Confusing fragment...


If you are saying, "Did Ledger play the character like the Joker you read or always perceived?" Well, yes and no but I loved what he did. It was his take on it and it was awesome and it still had a version of the Joker in there. The character Ledger played mostly reminded me of Malcolm MacDowell's Alex Delarge in A Clockwork Orange

As for that pertaining to what I was saying about Rosario...I don't understand.

But if you mean Ledger was a risk as well...yes anyone cast playing a character like the Joker can be difficult. As for Rosario playing a strong confident woman, we haven't seen it and she hasn't made a movie that makes me want to go see her in it for her performance yet.

Angelina has made a few movies where her performance was good enough to go see...Changling, Gia and Girl Interrupted.

True;

But isnt it like Nolan casting someone who's played a major character from Smallville; longevity and fanbase aside - the two are very similiar in that they are both based on other DC properties.

Ace of Knaves
01-28-2009, 07:02 AM
Yea I see what you are saying. But maybe already playing a Catwoman type character could hold her in good stead? I'm not sure really, I think Catwoman is the most difficult role to cast out of all the characters in Batmans universe, apart from Bats himself of course.

Yeah, I know I, and at least one other person, have suggested her being a freerunner sometime back in this very thread before. But I hadn't even thought about seeing something like that on IMAX, though. That would be breathtaking (and perhaps a little vertigo-inducing. In a good way, lol).

That would indeed be very cool to see. Though I don't know how "good" that'd look with Nolan filming a sequence something like that. Nolan's not really known to be very dynamic with action scenes. And Parkour is definitely something that deserves some technical flair in shooting it "right".

Well, if it were shot using the IMAX camera, he wouldn't be able to use his hand-held, close-up, quick-cutting style. The camera's simply too cumbersome for that kind of thing. I thought the IMAX sequences in TDK were very well-shot and had no trouble following the action in them. Plus, since what we're talking about would be free-running across rooftops and such, the majority of it would most likely be crane shots and aerials, anyway. So I think, in this case, it could turn out really well.

Emily Mortimer. She can definitely act. She usually plays the ingenue in films and she doesn't have the full on sex kitten look of Selina Kyle but I think her acting chops can make her pull it off, much like Ledger and the Joker.

When she has the right makeup, I think she can be very sexy. Sure she doesnt have the typical look, but I thought she looked very Selina-Like in The Shipping News. And she looked great in Benjamin Button and in Notes on a Scandal(love when she puts the black makeup on). Granted she isnt the first person you think of in terms of Selina, but I think she would be great in the part. Both acting wise and look wise.

Also, off topic but I just read this on IMDB ''As a joke, one bat suit was made with nipples, as in Batman & Robin (1997). It was presented to Christian Bale as the real bat suit, but he knew instantly it was a joke, having seen a few design pictures during preproduction. He did pose for some publicity photos in the "nipple" suit.''

If this is true, can someone post the pics? That would be funny to see.

Sure it is. You just need to broaden your mind a bit. These disorders are psychologically rooted. Is it interesting? Absolutely. For instance, take the "cat lady" Jocelyn Wildenstein. Here's a woman who is so obsessed with attaining a feline visage that she's spent millions on cosmetic surgery to achieve this result. An anorexic Catwoman is interesting and Thandie Newton's face does look slightly cat-like. It would be an interesting direction to go in.

And they didnt intend for him to be black in the movie either. That was their last resort. They auditioned alot of big, WHITE wrestlers and actors, but none of them gave a performance that suited what the crew wanted, so they auditioned MCD and though he wasnt the right skin colour, he gave a good performance/audtion, so they cast him.

Cunning Stunts
02-01-2009, 03:06 PM
I don't think the skin color matters regardless. If it's not imperative to the character, why DEMAND that he be white? For example, I get a lot of flack from people when I say I want Don Cheadle for The Riddler... More times than not, I hear, "The Riddler isn't black." So what? Is there any reason The Riddler MUST be white? Is there any part of his character that DENOTES a white person?

No. In that sense, who cares what race the character is, so long as the character doesn't have a particular attribute that would all but demand a particular race.

Crook

That would open entire floodgates of race alterations to popular characters, because quite a lot do not have race ingrained within their character. That does not mean it's insignificant however.

Many times these icons are a "sum of its parts". Even if individually they're not entirely important. This isn't even limited to race, either. Other attributes such as clothing, speech, even their entire appearance can be thrown out the window. Because technically speaking, they do not make up the character's core.

I've said this before, if you want to open the race up on one character, it has to go for every character of every race. If skin colour isn't important, then character likes Storm and John Stewart are also up for interpretation.

I'd have no problem with that. I'm pretty sure much of the reason Stewart was thrown in was to add a black character to the Justice League. More proof of this is the fact that they made him one of the most "disposable" superheroes in D.C.... A Green Lantern.

However, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying, "Change everyone's race to even it out." I'm saying look more at the best actor to suit the role, and worry less about what color he/she is.

i agree to a point I mean lets say

Penelope Cruz just beat everyone out in an audition I would be okay with it I guess. BUt i prefer adaptions to follow what the character is like which I why I believe that there should never be a Black James Bond for instance

The "problem" with that, if you're an advocate for race alteration, is there will always be white actors that are suitable for the roles. For example you might find a black actor that is magnificent for Harvey Dent, but there's also a great chance there is a white equivalent of said actor. And you can probably find them with relative ease. Being that the character is white, the white actor gets the default position.

Only in very rare instances such as Wilson Fisk, should casting look for alternative choices. Hollywood is in a surplus of great "white" actors. Always will be. Adapting white characters is probably the easiest thing you can do. Worry about minorities. That's where Hollywood is lacking.

I'm not an advocate for alteration, I'm an advocate for the best actor being in the role, regardless of his skin color. I don't have any problem with an all-white cast, or sticking to the character's race in the comics.

My problem is that when somebody suggests an actor of a different race and everybody jumps on him or her because "the character is not (insert race here)".

I'm not trying to turn every Batman villain into a non-white character. I just want great actors in the great roles. Case in point (again), my suggestion of Don Cheadle for The Riddler. If he was white, I'd be just as happy... But he's not. His race doesn't change my opinion.

I'm not asking for people to start looking to favor black or hispanic actors over whites, just to diversify. I just ask that people to look at ALL actors regardless of color, and then choose the best for the role... That, and to stop berating me because I chose a black actor as my favorite for a particular role.

02-01-2009, 04:14 PM
I don't think the skin color matters regardless. If it's not imperative to the character, why DEMAND that he be white? For example, I get a lot of flack from people when I say I want Don Cheadle for The Riddler... More times than not, I hear, "The Riddler isn't black." So what? Is there any reason The Riddler MUST be white? Is there any part of his character that DENOTES a white person?

No. In that sense, who cares what race the character is, so long as the character doesn't have a particular attribute that would all but demand a particular race.

I think you're right, but the highlighted words are key. The rece of Edward Nigma or Seline Kyle can be altered, because they are not characters sufficiently evolved to have a distinct cultural identity. You could not have a black or Asian Bruce Wayne, because Bruce Wayne is inherently WASP, and an aristocrat, borrowing much of his identity from North European literature or myth (The Dark Knight + vampiric overtones). Similarly, James Bond is a British imperialist. Men of his breed used to rule the world. Like Superman or Doctor Who, he is the last of his kind. You couldn't abandon that uncomfortable core of the character and keep him the same.

Selina, however, is slinky and sexual and feline and playful. That doesn't really exclude any particular race or culture of woman. A black woman like Thandie Newton could do it as well as a French woman, in my opinion. It is all about the soul of the character.

Besides, Catwoman is black

well kingpin has never been black in the comics. need something fresh
Kingpin is a role which is almost impossible to cast. That's why his race isn't much of an issue. It was necessary. Catwoman is much easier to cast without having to do that.

The Doctor has a loophole around this, though. Every regeneration he can get a new physical form so being black or a woman is an option IMO.

A few years ago, i would have liked to have see Gladiator and Devil's Advocate star 'Connie Nielson' in the role.

Ashley Judd. I love her. If she got the part i'd be very happy, but i don't see it happening.

At the end of the day, i want someone that can deliver on the same level as MOTP's 'Audrea Beamont'. Yes she was animated, but the voice acting and screenplay that her character was given was ssssoooo Catwoman-like, in so many ways. :up:

Yes the best actor/actress should get the role, a role based on a character with already predetermined characteristics, if Catwoman was not defined as looking how she has for 70 years then there is argument that a characters race is irrelevant, if she were just a piece of paper back literature that doesn't give you a specific description then by all means it's open to interpretation, but comics are a visual medium, we know what Catwoman is suppose to look like, we know her characteristics, and to be a true interpretation of the character on screen, the actress at the very least has to fit a minimum criteria that matches the characters' comic counterpart.

GIven that The Dark Knight is the second highest grossing movie of all time, I'm not really sure if the whole "Angelina Jolie would overshadow the rest of the film" argument really holds that much water anymore...

Still, I'd prefer Kate Beckinsale or Charlize Theron. I wouldn't mind Jolie, and I think that we'd probably be lucky to have her in the movie, but at best she's still in third place on my list of potential Catwomen.

I totally agree, 100% with everything you've said. I also believe what's become somewhat iconic with Batman is his white face being the only light (other than those bright white eyes, but those are literally white) portion of an all black/dark, demonically-inspired suit... Kind of like showing the small portion of humanity in a soul overrun by demons (figuratively- not racially- speaking).

But as far as most other characters go (Riddler, Catwoman, Joker even), I'm not bothered. As far as I'm concerned, the only character with whom I would have any sort of racial preference is Bane (given his background in the comics), and even his doesn't matter.
