Megan Fox doing what she does best.
Well, the Fox may have nabbed another comic book role. Megan Fox, that is. Already set to star in Jonah Hex in June 2010, and in Michael Turner's Fathom in the same year, according to British Tabloid, The Sun reports the current "It Girl" and Transformers star has possibly signed on to be in Christopher Nolan's third Batman film set to hit theaters in 2011 along with Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman.
Fox has been grabbing all of the once rumored fanboy dream roles for Angelina Jolie who was anticipated to be the next actress to get diamond fever in the catsuit. Fox is also favored to play Lara Croft in the next installment of that franchise but there is no confirmation on that.
She will follow in the big screen paw prints of Michelle Pfeiffer who was a satisfactory Selina Kyle in Batman Returns, but let us all hope director/screenwriter Christopher Nolan can erase the memory of Halle Berry in the forgettable 2004 Catwoman film. Nolan seems to stress a darker more psychological study of Batman and his rogue gallery which is the most promising aspect of his third Batman film. Fox's acting talent leaves much to prove that she can do more than just look the part.
The Sun is reporting this news so it's not safe to say this is set in concrete. If this is indeed true here's hoping Nolan will use the more recent comics written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Darwyn Cooke as templates for how the character should look and feel. They now only re-establish and modernized the catsuit but define who Kyle is as a person and her role in Gotham City. If this rumor holds up, what do you think about Megan Fox as Catwoman?

THE SUN is reporting this. This is just another unfounded rumor, along the lines of Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin or Cher as Catwoman or Johnny Depp as the Riddler.
You can't declare this to be fact in your headline if it's just a total rumor.
Yeah this isn't true.
Tim & Brent, The reputation of the Sun was unknown to me and you're both right and the headline/article has been corrected.
I'm praying that this isn't true because Megan fox is just a horrible actress. If Nolan wanted to ruin the series he'd proceed with this idea. Not to mention Catwoman isn't an enemy of Batman, she's just some jewel thief. It would be obnoxious to even include the character. I'm sure it's just a stupid rumor.

I think she'd play a great catwoman. She's got the looks. Her acting talent isn't so horrible. She did well in Transformers.
NO. Just no.
Got something to say?
