Pick a Pussy
I’ve made my decision. Though Angelina Jolie and Cher could each lend their own unique talents to the role , Catwoman as a romantic interest for Batman has always led to the usual ethical concerns (she’s a criminal, she’s kind of crazy, she’ll probably want to spend the night). But what about a new sort of dilemma? What factor beyond the characters’ control could attempt to drive such an enormous wedge between these two?
Age.
Although age has always been a factor in separating Batman from Batgirl (I love the Batman Beyond take on this), I can’t think of any story that has made age an issue between Mr. Wayne and Miss Kyle. Catwoman looks to the Dark Knight as a role model, as a harbringer of a new do-it-yourself era. As a father.
Do you see where I’m going with this? This is what you do with a minor in Psychology.
Anyways, it is for these reasons that I overwhelmingly endorse Megan Fox for President of the–I mean, Catwoman.
Meow. She has the mildly ethnic look currently in style with Catwoman’s comic incarnation, and. . . well, she’s super hot. But a young Catwoman would allow the character to keep her forbidden sensuality well into the days when Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl hit the stage. Of course, by the time the next film is released, she may be too old for my plan. . . What was the name of that girl from Juno?

Good actress, interesting choice.
Can you imagine how mad some people would get though? “She’s supposed to be just a bit younger than him, it says so in the third issue of Year One!” or somesuch.
(although now that I think of it, it’s been a long time since I read year one, so I could be very wrong about that…)
I’m a Cher fan. what can I say? If cher is a choice I have to choose her. hehe

Whoever it is, I just hope they screen test her with Christian Bale and make sure they actually have some chemistry. I still shudder at the flat and spark-free scenes between Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer. They’re both grand actors, but there was nary a hint of a spark between them.
Even if they were to go younger, there should still be a sense of chemistry - mentor-student, w at least.
