Catwoman Returns?



(Michelle Pfeiffer as the sexy, villainess Catwoman in 1992's Batman Returns)



There are rumors prowling about that Batman's and everyone's favorite sexy cat, Catwoman, may return to the big screen in Christopher Nolan's third installment in his Batman film vision, The Dark Knight Rises.

Supposedly Nolan is meeting with particular popular actresses:

Rachel Weisz
Naomi Watts
Blake Lively 
Anne Hathaway
Keira Knightley
Natalie Portman 

as he searches for two women to play:
a villainess and a love interest of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the 2012 summer movie The Dark Knight Rises.

Catwoman would be the most fitting villianess.

Although there's speculation that Talia Al Ghul, Ra's Al Ghul (played by Liam Neeson in 2005's Batman Begins) daughter may be the villianess that makes it into The Dark Knight Rises instead.

A brand new villianess that hasn't been seen on the screen yet would be great---
but Catwoman makes the most sense to be the villianess in the Knight Rises.

Catwoman/Selina Kyle hasn't been seen in Gotham City since 1992's Batman Returns.

After 19 years, her fans all will agree, it's time for Catwoman to return! 

 But who could possibly fill the skintight, black latex catsuit that Michelle Pfeiffer so fabulously filled? Which actress could play Catwoman as flawlessly sexy and crazy as Pfeiffer did?


My number one pick is easily:


Angelina Jolie.

There's no doubt she could wear the catsuit and nail Catwoman's twisted personality perfectly. 

Ex and first Catwoman on the screen ever (from the 60's Batman t.v. series), 
Julie Newmar, has said, "Angelina would own the part."

 Other great contenders I believe could nail Catwoman today are:




Charlize Theron



Milla Jovovitch




Bryce Dallas Howard


 Olga Kurylenko




Gemma Arterton


 

Eva Green



Catherine Zeta Jones



Rachel Weisz

 
Famke Janssen

 Leslie Stefanson


Dina Meyer


Brittany Daniel


Some interesting contenders are:



Lucy Liu


Penelope Cruz


Christina Aguilera


If Catwoman makes a return in 2012, hopefully her catsuit is similar to Pfeiffer's stunner:


Not Halle Berry's 2004 Patience Philips' un-cat looking costume:


Or the more utilitarian costume in recent Batman comics:

 Although I have a feeling this more practical Catwoman costume would be worn by Catwoman.


Pfeiffer was so excellent acing Catwoman/Selina Kyle I almost don't seeing any other actress at the time putting on the catsuit as perfectly as she did except for these few actresses:




Sharon Stone


 Kim Basinger

 Demi Moore


 Elisabeth Shue

Cher


And although Berry played the newest version of Catwoman pretty well, I believe a couple of other actresses could have done equally good or better:



Vanessa Williams



Rosario Dawson



Zoe Saldana


Out of the supposed list of Nolan's contenders to play perhaps Catwoman, besides Rachel Weisz, the other actresses seem unlikely to be able to pull off playing the complex, sexy, villainous Catwoman.

Hopefully Catwoman will return to the big screen in 2012 in The Dark Knight Rises.

But only if the actress cast is as purfect as Pfeiffer's Catwoman.
