I think it's time for this....

I always think of this when people get into a tizzy about BvS or JL still being canon or not.

Johnson looks too much like what’s her name from the Nolan era - mind gone blank and not gonna look it up! She is also too lean and weak looking.. In my opinion - i want a girl that looks like she will either f*ck you or kill you... too bad Halle Berry was already there before...

 

[Invader Joker]

Halle Berry was ridiculously wasted in that movie... she could've been a great Selina Kyle right around that time​

Or kill you whilst doing the other....

Tbh I would be intrigued by Dakota Johnson as Catwoman... I can see it working. I am still standing by Ana De Armas or Vanessa Kirby though, accents or not!

There's a number of actresses that could crush it as Selina. However I do think Johnson is a quite valid candidate to discuss more regularly than we've been doing so, especially in light of Pattinson landing the Batman role and THR's report on what drew Reeves' attention to him and Hoult.

Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp style

A new name... Paula Patton

 

[Eddie Dean]

Not very new

I hope it's Dakota, best name I've read here by far.
Imagine thinking she wouldn't be casted because the Grey movie (the film it's not even hated), the ignorance jumped out.

Dakota or Saoirse. The ones looking at hot body pics only are so lost Lol

It's not even about hotness, any actress can work out to make her body look better.

It's more Nicholas Hoult as Batman, I just don't see "Selina Kyle" in her face.

Also she's a PR nightmare and a terrible idea but I won't get into that again.

Dakota Johnson, the daughter of Melanie Griffith, huh? Well, Melanie Griffith was in the notorious flop Bonfire of the Vanities and I don't think WB would want to associate the new Batman film with such a bomb, even if it from an actresses' mother.

Considering some of the people who work in the industry today, I think Hollywood’s definition of a PR nightmare might be a little bit different than ours.

 

[Invader Joker]

There's absolutely no scenario in which you can show Dakota Johnson and Pattinson in a romantic scene without "Twilight" and "50 Shades" just constantly being in audience's heads. For the majority of general audiences it'd suck them out of the movie. It's too distracting.

A real PR nightmare would be casting Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor!

It’d be too distracting for you. You can’t presume to speak for the audience.

 

[Invader Joker]

Maybe PR wasn't the right term, but marketing and public perception definitely is. The last 50 Shades of Grey movie came out a year ago. It's still too recent of a thing. By the time The Batman comes out it'll be a merely 3 years.

You can get away with Pattinson because it's been 7 years since the last Twilight and it'll be 9 years in release. You can't get away with Johnson, not with Pattinson there. You want those actors to escape the shadow of those franchises? Yeah this would just constantly remind people of that. It's a terrible idea for everyone involved.

[Jekecy]

By that logic Pattinson should have never been cast because the whole franchise rests on your titular character.
