Angelina Jolie tipped to play Catwoman
Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman in a future Batman movie - by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar.
Newmar, 74, prowled across the small screen, playing the feline villain in the 1960s Batman television series.
And she would love Jolie to take on the role - if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to resurrect the character in a future sequel.
Newmar tells the New York Daily News, “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”
Since Newmar, the Catwoman role has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.

I guess I won’t be seeing this one then, if they cast that bad actress….
July 28th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

July 28th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
no fucking way….can’t she just go away and take care of her fucking ridiculously growing family? GO AWAY and eat a cheeseburger or 10!!!!!
July 28th, 2008 at 3:09 pm

The sad thing is that I have to see this 3rd movie no matter what, my husband is a huge batman fan, I’ve already seen the second one 3 times (midnight the opening and the two days following). I guess there is always divorce.. Ha!
Seriously though I think that she would ruin the 3rd movie before it even started. Plus she’s so skinny lately (even while pregnant her arms were like twigs) that it’s aging her and we don’t need a catwoman that can’t fill out the cat suit properly.
July 28th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
She would be perfect as Catwoman! And to be suggested by the original Catwoman herself…I think she knows more than you guys!! Ha, ha…
July 28th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
No way!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:27 am
NEVER! Maybe four years ago she could have done it, but not now; she’s ruined the image of the old Angelina Jolie. She’s looking about 15 years older than her true age, is so damn skinny you expect her to disappear when she turns sideways now, let alone in a black rubber type catwoman suit….NO, please tell me it’s not gonna happen. Get Megan Fox, now she could pull it off very well.
July 29th, 2008 at 7:38 am
I agree with Blondey. Angelina is perfect for that role.
July 29th, 2008 at 7:41 am
What happened to staying home? What happened to taking time off? THIS WOMAN SUCKS, she should NOT be cast! The whole movie and promo would then be about HER and HER KIDS and HER FAMILY and HER HER HER…. God will someone put this freak homewrecker in her place??? NO ANGELINA, she’ll ruin everything!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:41 am
No one can top Michelle Pfeiffer! Now she was a true Catwoman!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Why not Megan Fox. I’m really surprised they didn’t cast her.
July 29th, 2008 at 7:49 am
You guys are all a bunch of haters. Angelina Jolie is very sexy and I’m sure she would do an awesome job. She always does great in “bad girl” roles. Oh and “me” please spell check before you post. I could barely understand what you wrote. Haters!!!!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:57 am
There’s no way in hell Angelina would ever agree to play that peice of shit!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:59 am
well if she’s going to be the Catwoman I hope she will get in shape, as in getting some butt thighs arms etc. I like Angie, but she is too skinny to be a catwoman..
a healthy one of course
I’d love to see her as catwoman
July 29th, 2008 at 8:00 am
No way in hell would Angelina ever agree to play that peice of crap!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 8:14 am
PLEASE GOD NO. Newmar was on the television show, which has a much different take than Nolan’s films.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Ugh, how Angie Jo ever won an Oscar is beyond me, she’s a one trick pony. The only role she can play is vixen.
And even then she’s too skinny, and not even naturally skinny, which I could overlook.
She will ruin that part, it’ll be like Katie Holmes all over again.
And no one will ever beat Michelle Pfeiffer, she owned that part.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:28 am
I hope so, she will be wonderful.
its unfortunate that mostly everyone on here disagrees because of her past (personal) issues that has nothing to do with anyone.
BRING IT ON!
July 29th, 2008 at 8:36 am
me: what about jessica alba she is hot or enen better jennifer garner she is hot and a very good actress
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jessica Alba couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag and Jennifer Garner is about as sexy (and interesting) as a wet mop.
I hope Angie gets it, she’s an excellent actress (they don’t just give Oscars away you know), but I do agree that she should put on some weight for the role. She’s sexier when she’s curvier.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:40 am
There is either intense jealousy or intense ignorance about her playing the role.
What, she shouldn’t play it because she is in the press so much?
Only one person mentioned her acting.
She took on another iconic character, Laura Croft, and did a pretty good job with that.
I’ll reserve judgment until at least she gets cast.
And if Christopher Nolan thinks she can play the part, he knows more than you people. His casting so far has been perfect.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:46 am
worst. casting. news. ever.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:52 am
you guys are so pathetic. as if you could do any better. this would be perfect casting. all of you are just bitter because your a bunch of middle-aged harpies.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Yes. Yes. Yes. I would LOVE to see Angie as Catwoman. She would be perfect!
And the people who have lost their minds since Brad left Jen really shouldn’t even be allowed to leave comments. Their brains have obviously fried-out on them. It seems they believe whatever tabloids tell them. Go buy a National Enquirer, haters. There are plenty of juicy stories that you can believe as fact printed there too. For example, did you know that a discovery has been made of a boy who has been born with the face of an elephant and the feet of a lizard? It’s true! It’s in the National Enquirer! AND - they have photos, too!!!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 8:54 am
WOW….Angelina would be the sexiest catwoman ever! I would see that movie for sure..
July 29th, 2008 at 9:08 am
hahahahahahahahahahaha - I’m laughing my ass off at the description of the women who hate Angie!
It. Is. So. True.
I know a couple of them and they are a pretty hideous site! Not many teeth, over-weight . . . exactly, EXACTLY what you would expect!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Laura Croft is iconic?!?! What, are you out of your fuckin’ mind?
July 29th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Who on earth was dumb enough to say that AJ would “ruin” that part???????????????????????? Are you mentally retarded?
July 29th, 2008 at 9:13 am
hahha the alternative actors people have suggested are comical indeed. jessica alba? acting skills, a lack thereof. jennifer garner? boring. megan fox? angie wannabe. haha for all the haters out there, what about jen maniston?
July 29th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Jessica Biel should play her great actor and looks great in the cat suit ( i now pronouce you chuck and larry). But as far as angelina nope totally tired of seeing her, all her roles suit her as an individual Vixen and a slut.
July 29th, 2008 at 9:47 am
and is that herpes on her lip!
July 29th, 2008 at 10:04 am
When did Angie say she wanted to play Catwoman and when did Nolan says he was doing Catwoman in the next flic?
July 29th, 2008 at 10:45 am
1- Stop being such jealous haters.
2- I agree that she’s too skinny but since when is it such a F***** crime? Not everything about women should be about weight, let it go people. Its her body and shes beautiful no matter how much you hate.
3- Angie is very talented. Ummm hello, Gia anyone?
4- Alba, Garner and Fox? Now thats got to be a joke. No talent and boring!
July 29th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I think Eva Green (from 007, the 1st Daniel Craig one) would be a much better choice. Or Rosario Dawson. I agree Alba, Garner and Fox would all be worse than Jolie.
July 29th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
wow. seriously you guys. Angelina rocks. all of you Jen-Brad fans: that is SO over.. get over yourselves, and go run on a treadmill instead of sittin on your ass and watching friends reruns all day. Accept the fact that Angelina is more beautiful, successful, and way more badass than you will EVER be. How many women do you know that are under 40, have 6 kids, have an amazing movie track record, does UN work for world peace, donates a LOT of time and money to the helpless?
And also.. Megan Fox? Seriously? You’re against Angie for being it, but you are for the biggest Angie WANNABE playing the role? You’re serious? Do you have a fucking brain? Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner.. pfft.
July 29th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
That as bad as Robert Downy Jr as Iron Man…
July 29th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
She would be perfect for the role. Jessica Alba? Please that stupid skank can’t act and will destroy the movie. Jennifer Garner? Batman is heterosexual…Jennifer Garner is a man!
July 30th, 2008 at 7:45 am
If she was still the same angelina jolie of the Billy bob thorton days, I’d be all for it, but Brad Pitt turned her into a sellout, so no thank you! I hope this role goes to charlize theron!
July 30th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Hello Haters….can you please stop being such F**** idiots. Angelina Jolie would be the perfect actress for that role. She is talented, smart and she helps a lot of people….so please let the shit go and let the movie be great with Angie because you guys know she will be great. So Stop Hating.
And Megan Fox has so many plastic Surgeries that she doesnt even look human. So Please.
July 30th, 2008 at 9:21 am
megan fox, jessica alba, maniston, and garner and their dead cat acting would all completely ruin the integrity that the new franchise has built. while I would completely LOOVE to see AJ as catwoman, I agree that Charlize Theron or Eva Green would be amazing, too.
Stop hating just because no man looks at you twice. Jealous females…yeeesh
July 30th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
omg y’all are some bunch of haters! like damn!
I personally think she’s a good actress, I loved her in mr&mrs smith, Wanted, tom raider and a bunch of other movies she’s been in.
y’all are just hating on her cuz somehow you wish you had what shes got! HATERS!!! GET A F&KN LIFE!
July 30th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Who else would you cast? Angie looks like a cat, and acts like a cat. Sounds about right.
I think there’s a lot of jealous Jen fans out there who are still holding on to a four year old divorce
and are raging because their favorite is dating John Gayer.
July 31st, 2008 at 2:02 am
you guys are just totally bitter coz aside from brad and being hailed as the most desireable & beautiful woman in the whole planet, angelina has an oscar to brag about. She can be a perfect cat woman and when it comes to acting it’ll be a piece of meat for her. Acting has been running on her veins since the time she was born. If you haters dont like her then just dont watch the movie if ever. You guys are full of crap! talking shit about angelina like that. I bet if she shows up anywhere near you, you will be all drooling. C’mon get real and just suck it up coz no matter what you hater say, you can never put a good actress down especially not angelina.
July 31st, 2008 at 10:05 am
i think emily blunt should play catwoman. angelina is too mainstream and already labeled a badass leading lady. they need someone who will surprise and wow, just as heath did this time around.
July 31st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Does it hurt to be so insanely jealous? She’s a phenomenal actress and a fantastic person. She’d be top notch as Catwoman. And whoever suggested Megan Fox needs to fall off of something very high.
