Cher as Catwoman in new Batman?

    This is just way too good to be true!


    According to the UK's Telegraph, Academy Award-winner and music icon Cher is in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third installment of the revamped Batman film franchise.

    A studio executive reportedly said,

    "Cher is Nolan's (director) first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."


    I've always loved Cher as an actress, and strangely enough I think she would bring a lot to the character. (Way more so than Halle Berry..) So what do you guys think?

    I wouldnt be too sure about it.

    But seeing as its Chris Nolans choice it must be good one.

    Im really surprised he hasnt been dubbed a genius yet.
    Look at the awesome films he's done.

    Momento
    The following
    The prestige
    The 2 batman films...

    He hasnt done a bad film yet...

    Seems like an odd choice, but whatever floats his boat; I've got no complaints about Christopher Nolan's presentation of Batman so far.

    Although now that I think of it, I guess Cher wouldn't be too strange a choice for some cat-suit-wearing dominatrix/prostitute villain. She's sorta strange.

    But isn't she like twice as old as Bale? '-'

    First impression was WTF??!? However, after Nolan's first Batman movies (esp The Dark Knight) I'm sure that if this was true, it could definately be interesting. I mean, when Heath Ledger was first announced as The Joker, people were very distressd (same thing happened with Micheal Keaton as Batman) and look how they turned out. I'm sure Nolan will do a great job, however he decides to proceed with thes films

    What everyone is saying is very valid about Nolans choices of cast but.....Cher???!!! Catwomans is supposed to be the Batmans female intrest and the character that gives him the most turmoil in terms of his life between Bruce and the Bats. Surely it would need to be someone his own age and very sexy and flexible!

    I was thinking WTF!?!? Now though, if it's done right, I think it could be very wicked.
     
  14. I LOVE Cher. We used to be pen pals. Lol. I haven't seen the Batman films. I was supposed to go see The Dark Knight with my friend but she ditched me and saw it with her boyfriend. But Cher, I would watch.

    I don't believe that article. She's too old, and it also said Johnny Depp would be the Riddler and that would have be highly publicized imho. Also Nolan didn't even sign on for the 3rd movie yet, I wouldn't expect casting news for a long time. Just my two cents, I follow the Batman franchise pretty closely haha
