Aaron Eckhart: If Angelina Jolie played Catwoman, “all of the records we made would be broken”
The Dark Knight’s Aaron Eckhart thinks Angelina Jolie would make a perfect Catwoman — if there’s another Batman installment.
“I thought that was a fantastic idea,” Eckhart told Usmagazine.com at the GQ Men of the Year party in L.A. on Nov. 18. “When I read that, I felt like all of our records that we made [would] be broken if she did Catwoman.”
(Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the original Batman TV series, recently told New York’s Daily News that she has knowledge that Jolie has inquired about playing the part.)
Another name that’s been thrown around? Johnny Depp — as the Riddler.
“Every time I hear these guys, I feel worse about myself!” Eckhart joked.
He was mum when asked if he’d star in another Batman flick.
“I mean, that’s an interesting question,” he told Us. “You know, I don’t think I will. I think I died in the movie.”
But it all remains a mystery.
Eckart joked, “I’m coming back as a totally different character.”
He’s totally right, can you imagine Angelina Jolie as Catwoman!? Hot!

uck. that would be sad. i like the franchise, put that casting decision would keep me from watching it. i can’t seem to make myself watch anything with her or tom cruise — don’t know why. they are just so obnoxious.

too commercial… up and comers have made the cuts to the batman movies with the exception of some classic actors in smaller roles. Fresh face would be good to give define catwoman’s role.

If Jolie is in it, I won’t go see it.
They will ruin the series if they start throwing in too many celebrities…look what happened with Clooney, Arnold…Uma…Carrey…
we really don’t need Catwoman again…there are enough villians to go around…
