Newmar, who made the role famous in the cornball Batman of the 1960s, told the New York Daily News: "Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love. She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."
As well as Newmar, Catwoman has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.
