I hadn't heard this particular rumor myself, but Charlize Theron certainly has. It sounds like she would be more than happy to squeeze into Selina Kyle's Cat suit.

"It's news to me," Theron said about the rumor. "But that's kick-ass news. I like that. I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, and director Chris Nolan is a genius. So I would be an idiot to not consider that."

Theron is the latest actress to openly express interest in the role. Angelina Jolie, Rhona Mitra, Rachel Weisz, and Megan Fox have all come forward in saying they would like to play the part. Of course, rumors fly over the casting of Catwoman more than any other character. According to an internet rumor Cher was only a whisker away from nabbing the role. So this is probably just more of the same nonsense.

But, for my money, I think Theron is the best candidate for Catwoman I have heard so far.

yeah out of the list of candidates above Theron is definitely the best actress IMO. I have never been dissappointed with her performance in anything even if the movie was bad.

and yes she's very...... fetching ahem

MarkCassidy - 9/29/2009, 7:29 AM
haha, there are you are with that singular "breast" again pooch. Is that really your only concern for a suitable actress for Catwoman? Chicks don't act with their tits last i heard:)

Charlize is a great actress and she's done genre pics before, so who knows...

(Good comparison pics, Ror!)

I think she would be great in the role as well. No to Megan Fox!

I think she's a great actress, definitely a good idea for the role. I know Nolan is supposedly not interested in Catwoman but I hope he will consider it. And I agree, those comparison pics you found are really perfect!

If Catwoman had to exist in the Nolanverse, I would be ok with that casting choice.

Id rather KATE BECKINGSALE (Though theres better), than THERON, Shes got friggin HANCOCK 2 crap to do.

An UNKNOWN good actress would be best!!

I dont get how this is news though, many actresses want this part aswell as WONDERWOMAN. Same goes for roles of CAP etc etc.

Nah she'd be a CRAP CATWOMAN lol.

Gatcha01 - 9/29/2009, 8:07 AM
Yes,yes,and yes! She's perfect for the part. Angelina Jolie is way toooo skinny for the part and Megan Fox is too dumb to play Catwoman. I would to see her play Sue Storm too.
KeepItReal
KeepItReal - 9/29/2009, 8:08 AM
Charlize would be fantastic, she'd whoop ass. Definitely can see her play the cat. Man, please, please, please dont let them bring Maggie Gyllenhall back... she is just godawful.

Leee, have you taken your meds today?;) Beckinsale is shit, no 2 ways about it, you don't believe me watch Whiteout. Also, Theron's boobs are probably bigger than hers so there's that other ridiculous point shot to shit. Its news because she has responded to the rumor, its not just some rag like the Sun spouting names. And Catwoman is Bats best villain after The Joker and Two Face, both of whom we had already seen in earlier movies aswell..did you object to Nolan using them?
KeepItReal
KeepItReal - 9/29/2009, 8:26 AM
boobs are now a requirement for acting? hmmmm... you guys are going to make me go there.... I like Catwoman and given Nolans take on Batman and his world I would be curious to see how he puts her in the movie. It would be nice for other villians to be seen as well too to be fair. Not the Penguin I think. Devito kinda did it for me. But common, gotta get out a better excuse than the lack of boobs... it wasnt a requirement for christian bale to fill out the groin was it? lol!

LEEE777 - 9/29/2009, 8:29 AM
Nahhh WHITE OUT looks Sh!T Lol!!

An i just woke up heh heh!! : D

Ok point taken, its not from the SUN!!! ; D

I still think we need Villains like DEADSHOT, BLACK MASK etc, Forget FREEZE, CATWOMAN, see 'em after NOLAN if they must lol.

KEEP @ Lol!!

ROR: Though I thought she would make a decent Catwoman when I was reading the article it was your pictures up there that have convinced me she would be perfect for the part!

CHARLIZE THERON FOR CATWOMAN!!!

THERES NO SCRIPT YET...NOTHING...BUT WITH ENOUGH BUZZ, MAYBE IT WILL INFLUENCE A DECISION ON NOLAN..PERSONALLY, CHARACTER OVERLOAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST FOR THE BATMAN FRANCHISE, TRUE, NOLAN'S WAY OVER REAL WORLD-ISM APPLIED TO BATMAN CHARACTERS AND VILLANS IS GENIUS, THE WAY HE COMES FROM LEFT FIELD WITH A DIFFRENT WAY OF LOOKING AT WHAT WE'RE USE TO AND MAKING IT SOMETHING COOL, GENIUS..OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GONNA WANT EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE WE LOVE WHAT HE'S DOING TO THEM.CHARLIZE THERON, YES SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, HOW TALL IS SHE? IF SHE'S TALLER THAN BALE IT MAY NOT FLY..IM FOR THE "LOST" GIRL,SHES PRETTY SEXY, AND SHE CAN ACT NO DOUBT.I DO WANNA SEE DEPP AS THE RIDDLER-IMAGINE WHAT NOLAN COULD DO WITH A MEGLO MANIAC SAW TYPE PSYCHOPATH MADMAN...I WOULD LOVE TO SEE JOKER AGAIN,(WICH WAS NOLAN'S INTENDED VILLAN IN THE DARKNIGHTS SEQUEL..ALL THREE CHARACTERS MIGHT BE OVERKILL, BUT THEN AGAIN, HOW LONG WOULD WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF BATMAN?..THE WAIT IS TOO LONG..

someone said something about using an unknown actress would be the best. the best thing about this franchise is they're using great known actors. charlize is a great actress.

Ok well I do like Theron for Catwoman and yes her boobies are great for the film ... Didn't you see how flexible she was in Aeon Flux ... God she is gorgeous ....

BUT

Lee is right let them be original and bring in a character that hasn't been brought in yet... I don't know how about BANE... that would make it action packed
Stumblin
Stumblin - 9/29/2009, 8:57 AM
I think she would be awesome as Catwoman, I love the fact she's interested in it herself. She's hot, whoops ass, good actress, what's not to love?

HAQ - 9/29/2009, 8:59 AM
She fits more than any other.

Theron is a good choice. She is a good, well-known actress that isnt too popular (and thus overshadowing the part like Im afraid might happen with Jolie) with a solid roster of decent films under her belt. And no, Leee, Boobs shouldnt be a factor. They can just pull a King Artur treatment on her if it is. Also Deadshot and Black Mask would be cool, but no one knows what they are. Riddler and Catwoman are much more well-known, so it is only logical on the studios part to use them first. Eventually, if the franchise keeps up, theyll likely get to them sooner or later, but for now Im pretty sure you have to wait a bit :(

PS: And yes I know Ras and Scarecrow arent household names either, but they are a hell of alot more established and known than Deadshot and Blackmask.
