Who'd Be a Better Catwoman: Jolie or Fox?
July 28, 2008 12:37 PM
Who would you rather see in a skintight catsuit: Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox?
It's a tough call. It's also a debate that's brewing as speculation over a sequel to "The Dark Knight" heats up.
The film's writers, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer, said in a recent interview that they are, for now, not intending to bring back Catwoman, Batman's smoking-hot nemesis. But Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the original "Batman" TV series starring Adam West, thinks they should reprise her role, and Jolie's perfect for it.
"Angelina would own the part," the 74-year-old actress told The New York Daily News. "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."
"When you look at the staggering box office of this current film, which actress wouldn't want to jump in?" she added.
Considering "The Dark Knight" raked in a record $314 million in 10 days, it wouldn't be a surprise if stars were lining up for spots in the sequel. With an Academy Award under her belt, Jolie's got the status to roll with A-list actors like Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhardt. She's proven she has a body built for action flicks with "Wanted," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and the "Tomb Raider" movies.
Another potential Catwoman contender: Megan Fox. The up-and-coming 22-year-old may not have the cachet of Jolie, but she wowed audiences in 2007's "Transformers" and was voted 2008's sexiest woman in the world by FHM readers.
Either way, if Nolan and Goyer decide to bring back Catwoman and either of the two bombshells are up for the part, it'll be a win for Warner Brothers. Fox or Jolie + leather catsuit = millions of drooling 13-30 male moviegoers.

C'mon is there a role more suited for Jolie.
and with this box office and her as cat woman...they would crush the record books...
they'll offer Jolie the part with a percentage...

If Jolie is in it I won't be going to see it. Amazing now how a homewrecker is idolized. We used to call them what they were...tramps...

I like Jolie just fine, but I'm kind of tired of her... I mean, she just had twins, she should take a break. Honestly I like Fox and I think she'd be a great Catwoman. Plus, she's younger... it's almost as though Jolie is TOO well known and too famous for the role.
Anyway, I'd like to see Fox play Catwoman! There will be plenty of other roles for Angelina.

Because Jolie held a gun to Brad Pitt's head and forcibly made him leave his wife, right? Please. Brad Pitt is just as much of a homewrecker as she is... It's pretty sad that in 2008, the woman is still the only one to bear the weight and blame of a dead relationship. Heaven forbid anyone point a finger at the males involved!

You all have to be kidding me right...Pitt wanted to have kids and Aniston didn't (because of her career) wasn't that issue put to rest at this point.
and Fox is a passing phase and with performances they need to pull out...the director will go for the "actress" more than just looks.

If there will be any love scenes between Christian Bale & Catwoman, I want the role of Catwoman!! Although, Angelina would probably do a better job than I would :0) The DARK KNIGHT was even better than I had expected it to be. I was willing to dish out $$ for my family of 5 to see it in the theatre, which is not something I allow us to do often. An absolutely stunning performance by Heath Ledger - RIP and thank you for an incredible experience.

and I am sorry Catwoman is not 22 years old.
Posted by: dl | Jul 28, 2008 1:34:59 PM
Says for looks, take Megan Fox but Catwoman had a spirit to her that of the two only Angelina could bring to the screen.
Perhaps Kate Beckingsdale (SP).

millions of drooling 13-30 male moviegoers? I'm over 30 and drooling!!!

I would rather see them use some one not expected... these girls play the same parts over and over again... it's getting old. And don't get me wrong I'm all for that A$$ kicking girl power but you have to admit angelina's part in waned was just stupid.

Are you kidding? Jolie is played out .. isn't she the Tomb Raider anyway? Could she be both TR and CW?
Fox is younger and much more desirable.

Actually it isnt true that Aniston didnt want to have kids. Nice rumor though and yes, Pitt is just as much to blame as Jolie. Although shes quite weird. She collects men, blood and children. Whats next?
Posted by: Glenda | Jul 28, 2008 1:53:03 PM
I think Megan Fox would be better. I agree that Angelina Jolie is played out.

Anyone see the trailer for The Watchmen? Wow.
Posted by: mhm | Jul 28, 2008 2:13:33 PM
I agree that Angelina Jolie is too well known, but she is perfect for the role--a little nasty, a little nice and a whole lots of looks. Anyway, Jolie's prescense is commanding whatever scene she is in.
Posted by: tom | Jul 28, 2008 2:13:58 PM
I would prefer Jolie.
Yeah she has a strange lifestyle but who cares? There are stranger ones than her out there.
I have no idea who Megan Fox is but if I had to choose I'd say Jolie.
One can't wreck a home unless someone is willing to let them.

I got your Catwoam right here.... SEAN YOUNG!!!!!!!
Posted by: Scotty | Jul 28, 2008 2:23:13 PM
Definately Angelina! Megan is a hot, young actress but Angelina is made for the part. Sexy, alluring, mysterious...perfect for Catwoman.
