The next Catwoman?

From the Batman III, aka The Caped Crusader, casting rumors department: According to Telegraph.co.uk, Angelina Jolie may not be Christopher Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman in the next installment of the Batman franchise.  His first choice is none other than Cher.  What?  Really?   Was Bea Arthur not available?  Somebody is obviously very, very high.

A studio executive said: “Cher is Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.”

I have no idea how the 62 year old drag queen idol is on the short list for this part.  Catwoman personifies sexuality and athleticism.  Apparently Angelina Jolie falls short in these categories when compared to Cher.  Obviously Nolan is living in 1972 when Cher had mass commercial appeal.  And wasn’t 62 years old.  Oh right, they’re going for a “twilight years” effect.

Yeah. You heard me. Do I have your attention? How about now?

Yeah, that’s right, unlike Capcom, Mortal Kombat decided that the heroes of the Marvel Universe were too weak, and probably still too divided since Civil War, so they’re going to enter the DC Universe.

Finally, Batman will be able to destroy Sub Zero. Don’t even try to say that he won’t either because you know that he will. How many times has he put Mr. Freeze in Arkham? Sub Zero will be a walk in the park for the Caped Crusader.
