Batman 3 cast: Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman

 

I’m not sure what to think about this picture of Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman. Mostly because I don’t see Catwoman in this costume at all. No ears, just black leather. At this point I think that Halle Berry’s costume for Catwoman was better than this. Maybe this year at Comicon I will just wear black leather and a cool pair of shades and call myself Catwoman too! I think that this is the most disappointing costume for DC that I have ever seen. If this costume is any indication of her ability to play Catwoman, I am not impressed. I personally would not have cast her in this role, she’s not the Catwoman type, she’s more Selina Kyle than Catwoman and you need someone who can play both. So are you as un-excited about this costume and casting choice as I am? Let me know!

Battle of the Batmans: Tim, Joel or Chris?

The Batman (TV series)

So, this lovely morning, I am watching Batman, Tim Burton style and I got to wondering, who has done the Batman series justice?

We have Tim Burton’s stylized Batman and Batman Returns, which I love. It’s dark, gritty, and well done. The only downfall of this series is the Prince soundtrack on the first Batman. Jack Nicholson does an amazing job as the Joker and Micheal Keaton makes a good Batman.

Next we have Joel Schumaker’s Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. These are the campy ones, much like the tv show was. These are better for kids to enjoy, they are light and brainless, I feel, but my kids like them. Upside is watching Jim Carrey play the Riddler and Uma Thurman play Poison Ivy.

Lastly, we have Chris Nolan’s versions, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. These are darker, grittier and the plot is better than both Tim & Joel. (Sorry Tim, still love you!) And while I would have never thought to cast Christian Bale as Batman, it works. Plus, let’s not forget Heath Ledger’s Joker, which has been the best Joker ever, hands down. His Joker brings creepy and psychotic to a whole new level. (Trust me, I wrote a psych paper based in him and I was told it was too long and par it down.)

So, now the question, Batman fans: which series is your favorite? Tim, Joel or Chris?

Batman 3 – The Evolution of Harley Quinn (this is not for kids!)

While this is not an official Batman 3 trailer (this is fan made), I thought they did a really good job of showing the evolution of Miss Harley Quinn into the villain that she becomes. As a reader of Batman and of the Harley Quinn character, I can tell that the production team did their research into the characters and did a great job!

Enjoy!

Batman 3 Possible Cast: Tom Hardy signs on as Bane officially!

It’s official Tom Hardy, last seen in Inception, has signed on to play the villain, Bane!  

While Bane was featured in Batman & Robin as a flunky for Poison Ivy, I have a feeling that Chris Nolan will expand the character a bit better then the last movie! This could be an interesting choice and I’m cool with it. I have to admit I don’t know all that much about Bane, so this seems like a pretty good casting. What do you think?

It’s official Dark Knight fans, Anne Hathaway has been cast as Miss Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. Not sure what I think about this one. Hathaway is best known for being typecast as the good girl. (Think The Princess Diaries and Becoming Jane) Does she really have the “claws” to pull this off? While she’s not who I would pick, she might surprise us, we’ll see…

What do you think of Chris Nolan’s pick for Catwoman?

Batman 3 possible cast!

Here is the line up of the possible cast members of Batman 3! We all know that Christian Bale will be reprising his role as the Dark Knight. However, it seems as though the rest of the cast is up in the air.

Marion Cotillard looks great at Miss Selena Kyle, aka Catwoman. I think Marion will be great at this role, as she proved that she could play a demented memory trapped in Inception. She has the claws to pull off a killing or a heist. But she can also pull off the sexy and manipulative Selena.  She naturally has that suave, but wounded look and I think this is a perfect fit.

From what I can tell, Kristen Bell will playing Harley Quinn. I think this is a good move. I have a feeling that Kristen will knock the psychologist with a special place in her heart for the psychos and killers. Hmm, maybe the internship at Arkham wasn’t a good idea, Miss Quinn!

The next two posters are a bit confusing and I can’t find out who the actual Riddler is going to be. It looks like either Neil Patrick Harris or David Tennant. I am really torn between the two. I love Neil Patrick Harris and I think that he will do a great job as the Riddler, if they are going for a more slap-stick version of the Riddler. I have a feeling that Neil playing this role will be more reminiscent of his portrayal of Dr. Horrible. As for David Tennant, I think that if the movie is of a darker content, he will be perfect. David Tennant played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire to perfection. He nails the creepy, sneaky and psychotic roles well. So this role is really up in the air. If you want a darker movie, then David Tennant is perfect. If you want a lighter movie, Neil Patick Harris is perfect.

Lastly, we have Mr., Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. This is a great fit! Philip has a very broad spectrum in his roles in past, from funny to downright nuts! After playing Truman Capote, I think that Philip will nail this role! I really hope that this casting for the Penguin is true. I would love to see Philip as the Penguin!

So, tell me what you think about this casting! I especially want to know what you think about the casting for the Riddler! Or if you have suggestions for a better casting! I really want to know what you think!
