HALLE BARRY NEVER PLAYED SELINA KYLE!
It was a TOTALLY different character. I understand the confusion, kind of, due to the similar identity names. But that movie? Nothing to do with Batman or Selina Kyle's Catwoman. NOTHING! Selina Kyle is a woman in a cat suit, like Batman is a man in a batsuit. She doesn't get transformed into half cat through some ridiculous resurrection spell. That woman in the movie was called Patience, it wasn't Selina!
I don't know why they chose to have a totally different and crappy character called Catwoman, but please, please stop relating her to Selina Kyle, or Batman.

In that case i politely apologise and withdraw my previous statement.
Although i still hold that Morena would be awesome as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
On a side note: why on earth did they bother making a film called Catwoman if it had nothing to do with Batman, or indeed, with the actual Catwoman?

I can kind of see Morena as Catwoman, but I don't think she'd be in my top five. I know she's played bad girls, but I have trouble picturing her cracking a whip and purring in Batman's ear.

Well, we're in disagreement. I think much of a character is how they move, especially a woman who's partly defined by her identification with a feline. Also, she's a little touched in the head, something Summer, as we know, can portray quite well, along with having strength and generally being a badass. She can play innocent or be sexy and enticing. I think she has the look, moves, and acting skill to be Selina Kyle. I'm not saying Catwoman will feature in the next film (if and when there is one) or that they will cast Summer, just saying that's what should happen.B]
What you said!
It was like that when we got here!

I agree that movement is a big part of it, but not all. And more than anything else, the movement can be taught.
I don't really want to see Summer play "touched in the head" yet again. The same act over and over gets old.
And she's certainly good at playing innocent, but as for sexy... well, she's cute, but she just doesn't come anywhere close to the dangerous sensuality that I think Catwoman should posses.

Like you said, we disagree. Because I think it should not.

Okay, sort of on/off the subject, but if if if if if there was another Batman and if if if if if the Riddler was in it, I like David Tennant for it.

The Batman is somewhat special to me; he was the first comic book hero I ever read (even before Superman) so I have to say it - Eddie Murphy as the Riddler, I don't see it.
The rumor could be just that, a rumor (thank Hollywood gods). Now having said that, it doesn't mean that he couldn't pull it off in his own way. Yes I said it; for the following reasons:
EM did a solid job in Dreamgirls, so much so that he was nominated for his portrayal. Seriously, I did not think he could do it and he showed that he has acting chops. I think back a few years when Burton was about to do the first Batman they picked Michael Keaton (of all people). The fanboys and others went ballistic. Turns out he did a solid job (see Joel Schumacher, Clooney and Kilmer). In Schumacher's defense he was told to make it more colorful, and boy did he.
Keaton and Burton worked well together in keeping my hero dark and brooding. But I like Nolan's take on the Dark Knight even more. I also think back to an actor, who made Look Who's Talking Too and who's career had all but disappeared, got a repreive after the role of a lifetime alongside the performance of a lifetime, in a little film called Pulp Fiction. Now the guy owns a frickin' 747 Jet.
He lucked out that he got a great script, director and Samuel L., to play off of. So don't count EM out. But I'm in the 'please don't let it be Eddie' camp. Why? Because I just don't see it. The Riddler must be someone like Dennis Hopper, a seriously demented sick dude. But he's too old. It'll come to me, a need a minute alone boys.
Catwoman = Angelina Jolie, period. I love Summer and I think she would be a great Catwoman, but Jolie is PERFECT. Summer could do smoldering sex appeal, I have no doubts about that. Jolie IS smoldering sex appeal. OK, enough of that.
James Franco as the Riddler. I had him in mind, but couldn't remember his name. For that role you need someone with a screw loose, Depp is just too cool for words. You need someone who will become unhinged at any moment. Gary Oldman would have been a great Riddler in his younger days. And please, NO ROBIN.

James Franco would be good!

She's not crazy in Terminator. She wasn't crazy on the Unit. She doesn't always play crazy, she's just good at it. And miss Kyle is crazy in her own very special way.
Angelina Jolie would be very good as Catwoman, I have no doubts about that. She has the feline look and she definitely sizzles. I would be happy to see her in the role, I think. Just have a feeling she wouldn't get it, maybe because she's just so high profile, not to mention distinctive. But maybe they'd want that.
Been watching Dexter lately, and I have to say I'm a big fan of Jaime Murray. She's lithe and gorgeous and sexy, and man can she be creepy. Only thing would be her accent. I love it, but of course she'd have to lose it to play an American. I wouldn't mind seeing her in the role, either.

Although it may be bullshit, I think Eddie Murphey would make an excellent if not different Riddler. I remember back in the day when Michael Keaton played the role of Batman and all I could here from friends were dread at how he was going to destroy the movie. I too began fearing for the role, but then saw the movie "Clean and Sober," and knew that Michael would do well by the movie. I understand how many people might have feared how Eddie Murphey would have tackled the role of the Riddler in a Batman movie, because it would have to be different from the traditional Riddler role, but I do think Eddie is talented enough to make a different and entertaining Riddler. With that said the rumor probably is bullshit, but I wouldn't go fretting over what cannot be controlled.
