The Dark Knight Rises Who Should Play Catwomen/Selena Kyle.

[BloodyWolverine]

With the Penguin and Joker being in the first sequel one can assume Catwomen won't likely mak an appearance as of yet. If there is a 3rd she more then likely will be involved as character. If your doing a new Batman series. Catwomen would adventually be in the series.
So who would be the best choice to play Selena Kyle in this new darker Batman series. This is just a fans discussion more so then anything else.
I will give few options as to who to choose from in a poll type setting.

1 Rebecca Stamos.
2 Maria Bello.
3 Naomi Watts.
4 Kate Beckinsale.
5 Poppy Montgomery.
6 Kristanna Loken.
7 Katherine Heigl.
8 Maggie Grace.
9 Kelly Carlson.
10 Sienna Miller.
11 Kristen Bell.
12 Bryce Dallas Howard.
13.Ashley Scott.
14 Jessica Alba.
15 Natasha Hendstredge.

It's Selina not Selena it's Catwoman not men

 

[Dr. Fate]

I actually don't know who some of those actresses are.

Well, Kristanna Loken's certainly got the build.

 

[gambitfire]

I voted Naomi Watts but besides that let's face it no one can replace Michelle.

 

[Two-Face]

Kate Beckinsale

It shouldn't really be about replacing Michelle.

I don't think Catwoman can work in Nolan's version... I'd still just go with Talia or Vikki Vale... but I definitely think you have to have some kind of love interest

How so?

Catwoman works. You could keep her as a cat burgular, but make her sort of like a dominatrix who believes in female empowerment, feminism, and sexuality who seeks to prove to the men she can be great thief. She loves S&M, bondage, whips and chains, and pain, and she loves giving Batman a run for his money and then she breaks under his will.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Or you could give her a good backstory.

I just want them to erase the foul mockery of the 2004 Halle Berry film that was Catwoman in name only.

SCARLETT FOR SELINA!

I'm not just basing my choice on my crush on her. Okay I am. But even so, she is definitely seductive enough, has the purring, throaty voice (not entirely different from Michelle, who played the part perfectly IMO), and she's definitely a good enough actress. Her connection with Nolan through The Prestige definitely helps her chances of nabbing the part.

BTW, I hope the thread starter isn't serious about wanting Kelly Clarkson.

I'm not saying you couldn't but you can't do the Michelle Pfiffer story again so incorporate some of the elements I talked about and *POOF* the rest writes itself...

ANTHONYNASTI SCARLETT FOR SELINA!

Change her hair color to brown/black like Selina and she's perfect

I don't even think she'd need to change her hair color. Pfeiffer was blonde and she performed it perfectly (Scarlett would definitely put on a performance on her level, though). Buta darker hair color certainly would not hurt.

I'm inclined to agree.

 

[CConn]

From that list, Kate Beckinsale. But I'd be perfectly happy with Scarlett Johannson as well.

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Awfull choices on that list.

Beter poll.

WHy do we need her again... Burton nailed it perfectly... Burton didn't get the Joker 100%.... ****ed up on Penguin... but he nailed Catwoman... Nolan should respect that...

 

[Ceb-Man]

Kate Beckinsale as Catwoman.

Burton didn't nail Catwoman. He turned Catwoman into a mentally unstable meta human.

I don't mind a different take on Selina Kyle (secretary, flight attendant, hooker, whatever) but Catwoman has to be a thief. That is just who Catwoman is and always has been and Burton ignored that.

If Nolan wants to put Catwoman in his universe he should by all means go ahead and do that, but she better be a thief or I'll be pissed.

(who am I kidding I'll probably eat up whatever Nolan gives me)

That's so funny...

I agree, Johansson for Selina.

 

[The Chairman]

I agree, Johansson for Selina.

Thanks for the support.

Theron used to be my top pick along with Jolie, but now I'm back to thinking she'd be a better Poison Ivy.
