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.

I’m a huge Batman fan. I have always loved the comics and cartoons and I thought that the movies were great until Joel Schumacher got his grubby, Batman destroying fingers on them. I can’t express the relief that I felt when Christopher Nolan actually did a good job with Batman Begins.

Now it looks like there’s going be another success in the Batman universe with the upcoming movie, The Dark Knight. The trailers have been very impressive and the images that have come out have looked good. To be honest, Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker scares the crap out of me. I can’t wait for this movie!
