The Dark Knight Rises The New Catwoman Casting Thread

[protoctista]

I think that the first time we see Catwoman, she should have already started out stealing stuff for kicks, but not be 'truly' Catwoman.

Like, she could improve her suit throughout the film, acquire some nifty gadgets like gloves with sharp claws... get herself some high-tech gear (like a Mission Impossible style bungee!!) and then start using a whip.

So that by the end she's changed from being a rookie to being the experienced, well-equipped catwoman.


I'm debating in my mind whether or not she should break into the armoury at Wayne Enterprises... or have some sort of link to that department.

What about breaking into Bruce's penthouse? He's the richest guy in Gotham, it seems reasonable that a cat burglar would target him. Maybe stealing some jewelery that belonged to Martha Wayne, giving Bruce extra motivation to track Catwoman down as Batman. It could lead to a very interesting first encounter.

 

[protoctista]

Yes, but my problem with both that idea and Wayne Enterprises is that it's a bit contrived. It'd pile more weight unto the dramamtic irony, which is a difficult lady to play with at the best of times. This franchise has been great at keeping the dramatic irony fresh, so it's an important factor to consider.



I suppose it'd be more reasonable for her to show up at the penthouse/manor (at the house warming (gettit!) party) than Wayne Enterprises.

She could steal a whole load of stuff from Bruce Wayne, and he publically hires a private investigator as well as secretly tracks her down as Batman.

I dunno, I'm just rambling ideas.

 

[Dark Knight]

I still say Sanaa trumps Rosario Dawson in every department.

Oh yeah!

 

[Dark Knight]

Meh....I would still take Jolie as Selina any day of the week ahead of Cotillard.

Whenever I see Angelina, I see Selina/Catwoman....always have...always will.

 

[Dark Knight]

Have any of you already suggested Rihanna as Catwoman? I'll bet someone has....LOL

Few pages back I think...

Amen

Nice job dude. The mask looks pretty good, it just a little too angry looking. I also prefer being able to see the eyebrows.

thanks, as for showing the eyebrows. I tried that, but two things.

1) Its a pretty big gap, so she would have huge eye holes
2) It shows too much of her identity, like Pfieffers catwoman

Thats what i was thinking. She should definetly start off in a rather un-catwoman like costume. Kinda like how Berry started in Crapwoman. Leather pants and jacket with a domino mask. She realises that she needs something more stealthy and something to cover her identity more.

Yes, this is very stealthy.

lolol

 

[Matt.S99]

^ I wasnt talking about that one. I was talking about the simple leather jacket and pants and domino mask. And that was my whole point, it isnt stealthy, so thats why she takes up a better siut

 

[Golgo-13]

Yes, this is very stealthy.

lolol

Ah, CINO. I remember Halle saying how FREQUENTLY her boobs would flop out of that bra whenever she had to do any action scenes. :heart:

 

[Matt.S99]

Why didnt they showthat in the movie?

 

[Melkay]

I don't think there's enough time in a movie to see a development in Catwoman's career and stil pay attention to the big things, like Batman and his new status and a new threat for the city. Le'ts have her be a fully formed Catwoman and , as the movie progresses, Batman will slowly discover her M.O., motives and plans.

 

[Matt.S99]

Off topic and I am NOT suggesting her for the role, but does anyone else think than Halle Berry could have been a good or alright Catwoman with a different script and director?

 

[regwec]

Not really. There is something boyish about Berry's features and manner. It's attractive in its own way, but it doesn't sit easily with the dangerously sexual femininity of Selina.

 

[hatebox]

^ (to Batboy) A great director can get a good performance out of just about anybody, but it's been too long since berry's even been close to competent. It's like she gave up after her Oscar win.

Maybe

post-Halle Oscar has been a real let down though

Agreed, which is sad, when she wants to be, shes a great actress and holds her own in a movie, but not lately.

 

[protoctista]

It happens to lots of actors and actresses once they've won their Oscar. But who can blame them? An Oscar for an actor is practically a liscence to be obcenely rich for very little work.

 

[Laderlappen]

I dont believe in that. I think it has happened to alot of actors that hasnt won(or in a time far after they won) and a coincidence it has happened to some oscar winners. But I believe some actors, and Halle might be one of them, dont go 100% in their roles after they have gotten their big brake. After Monster's Ball, Halle can be alot more picky and dont have to be afraid not getting job.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I think theres a lot more actors who get lucky with a role and continue to their regular consistency. Berry was getting better and better before she got her oscar thought

 

[Golgo-13]

Perhaps. I think Halle's at her sexiest when she not trying to be sexy, like in 'Boomerang' and in 'Catwoman'- before she became Catwoman as was the office geek.

This is true. She is FINE when she's goin' for the whole "cute dork" angle.

I thought she was super sexy when she was knid of catwoman. When she cut her hair and was in that leath jacket and pants.
