When Christopher Nolan was looking for his next Catwoman a lot of names came up. One of those names was A-Team starelett Jessica Biel. Biel, who dressed as Catwoman for a Halloween party back in 2007, said she jumped at the chance to audition for the role and work with famed director Christopher Nolan. But was left heart broken when the role was offered and eventually accepted by Anne Hathaway.

Said Biel:

"(That was) another one that got away. I was gutted. I mean, to work with Christopher Nolan in that kind of a role..."


This marks first out of two times that Hathaway has gotten a part that Biel was up for as well. She auditioned for and miss out on the Hugh Jackman flick Les Miserables. Hathaway signed on to star in the film last month. What do you guys think, are you happy with Hathaway or would you rather have Jessica Beil in the Catsuit?

The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Garly Oldman, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and will be released on July 20, 2012

I'd much rather have Biel than Hathaway. Biel looks like a woman. Hathaway looks like a zombie.

Nolan knows what he is doing and for Biel to loose out to Hathaway she had to have given a hell of a great audition.

Nolan knows what he's doing. He wouldnt have cast Hathaway if she wasnt perfect for this role. She was up against Oscar winners for that role.

She will be awesome.

I wonder what Keria Knightly, Sienna Miller, and Rachael Weiez have to say about losing the role.

Hathaway is a superior actress... not as fun to look at though.

Biel is more attractive but Hathaway is the far more talented actress.

*sigh* we could've had the second sexiest Catwoman (after Halle - yeah, the fil sucked, but Halle is perfection).

@tea that gif of Biel's always makes me think girl enjoys some pegging. She goes hard, man...

LoL you guys are acting like Cat Woman takes a great actress to pull off. Face it, Cat Woman is a hot spicy love interest for Batman...the whole cat burglar thing is just meh. More than HALF the "acting" for that role is looking good in the suit, ask what everyone thinks of when they think of Pfeifer...it's not how good her Cat Woman voice is, its how damn hot she looked in that leather stiched suit.

Yeah she's hotter, but better actress? Guess not since she didn't get the part.

Ok, I really like hathaway, but come on Biel would have been perfect for catwoman. I mean she is athletic and sexy as hell...see above all the proof i need :)

@Catwoman1. I keep hearing how Nolan knows what he's doing. And althought Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were great his casting of the Rachel Dawes role was horrendous. Katie Holmes couldn't act but at least she was cute. Frumpy Maggie Gyllenhaal could act but she definitely did not look the part of a woman who would capture Bruce Wayne's attention never mind his heart.

Caral Gugino would've been the perfect Catwoman.

@TheWatcher: agree completely except Gyllenhaal was ugly AND couldn't act

@Strange1 I think the gifsabove can change your opinion on her flexibility.

Biel is a so-so actress, but I can't think of anything I have seen Hathaway in, so I can't comment on her acting. Between the two, I would have gone with Biel, she is hot. Not the first time I have wondered "WTF was Nolan thinking?"

I would of rather seen Biel in the catwoman outfit because she is smoking hot and actually looks like a WOMAN that i wouldn't mind giving some of my milk to(if you catch my drift)but i'm sure nolan knows what he is doing and gave it to Hathaway because of the acting. when i heard Ledger was the joker i was like "BULLSHIT!!!" but i wind up eating my own words. In Nolan we trust.

tea@ Yes she is!:P

She is exactly what Catwoman would have needed. Hot, badass and great actress.


Sienna Miller would have been great too.

Not surprise about nolan I personally think he likes to choose people for his roles that most people don't think work so he can show off his directing chops if anything Beil hardly has to work hard to look sexy now Anne is more of a challenge with her skinny ass hell her stunt double looks better in the suit but she is a good actress truthly if Anne and jessica fought ..jessica would mop the floor with Anne
