Concerning Batman 3

As there always is when a juggernaut film is gearing up for a sequel, "news" and speculation is rampant.

Word on the street? Cher is Catwoman. Wait a sec, let me get my toothbrush to wipe the throw-up off my gums. Not (really) taking another away from Cher. I mean, you can't downplay her career, because it's been a good one, but Cher? She's decent looking for 62. But how would that work as a love interest with Bale? Like a thirty year age difference? Could Bale put new tennis balls on the bottom of her walker (maybe do the same for Morgan Freeman, for that matter) after heroically bringing justice in the trouble Gotham City? Why not just have bingo night at Wayne Enterprises? Every Tuesday and Thursday. Alfred would frickin' love it, I bet.

Moving on from that rant...

Onto some logical and awesome news. Since, it's suddenly definite that Catwoman will be the new character in Batman 3, one incredibly talented Photoshop user made this madly-intriguing fan poster:



Marion Cotillard. Oscar-winner, Marion Cotillard. Uhuh. Isn't that a novel idea? She's a great actress, she's "sexxy" enough for the role and it makes sense. Wouldn't that be perfect? I was thinking of other possibilities for Catwoman:

Tilda Swinton
Charlize Theron
Cate Blanchett
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Salma Hayek
Emma Thompson

Nothing too daring and not very well thought-out, but what the hay.



Now onto Lord Nolan. Suddenly, there's this terror that he may not sign on for the next film. He hasn't come to a firm decision after a month of TDK being in theaters?! He must not be up for making another hundred billion dollars. Give or take. Come on, you think he really isn't going to come back for more? This trilogy could be his masterpiece, his legacy, his crowning achievement. If he were to back out, I would be royally shocked and royally pissed. He's ambitious (in a sense), but not an idiot. An idiot would walk away from that situation.
