I actually thought Jake had the better role between the two. Not to take anything away from Ledger's performance but I was by far more moved and sympathetic to Jake's character then I was for Heath's. Jake did a really good job with the romance aspect of it. However HL did an acceptable job in Brokeback Mountain.

http://www.hecklerspray.com/batman-3-catwo...d/200815249.php It has a quote regarding the issue and I have seen it reported all over the internet. My personal feeling is that either Bane or The Riddler will be the focus of the next Batman film if there is to be one..

One villain that I seriously think they should try again is Poison Ivy, given all the controversy surrounding the environment.

They could totally do that character.

I think Angelina or Charlize Theron would be great.

Bane is a wack villian (yes I am using 90's language, he's that bad). I guess given those choices I would happily pick the Riddler however I just don't think the Riddler is a strong villian especially after coming off of the Joker and Two Face as villians in "The Dark Knight". I don't know how I feel about Posion Ivy...

Thanks for the link, Adam. I would think they would like the Penguin character because he is a crime boss.

Charlize is another good choice! Sexy and talented.

The Riddler can challenge Batman's mind. :)

Going to see it for a third and final time this afternoon. I will then wait for the DVD which probably won't be out until Christmas.

I really hope they go all out with it too. I am thinking 3 disc set. Its a shame though that Heath won't be involved with it. I doubt any commentaries were done all the way back then.

Thats just stupid if this is true, the Penguin and catwoman are two of the most popular villians in the batman franchise. I understand Nolan trying to stay away from what was done before, but his batman is far from Tim Burton's batman and it would be a challenge for him to have a different take on the characters like he did with the joker.

I disagree with you here, because I found his bruce to be stale, uncharismatic, and uncharming. I thought he was better as batman.

This article was in our newspaper.

ANGELINA Jolie is reportedly being lined up to star as Batman's nemesis Catwoman in a new movie, and she has the blessing of the original actress to take the role.

The 33-year-old actress – who gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne earlier this month – is said to be in final negotiations with studio bosses to play the feline villain who first appeared in the Batman comics.

It is not clear whether she would play the role in the current Batman film series, starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader, or in a spin-off film as Halle Berry did in 2004's Catwoman.

Actress Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the Batman TV series from 1966 to 1967, has given her blessing for Jolie to play the part.

"Angelina would own the part," Newmar, now 74, said.

"My industry friends tell me she has already made enquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love.

"She is tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."

Other actresses to take on the role of Catwoman include Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992 movie Batman Returns, and Eartha Kitt who took over from Newmar in the TV series.

Jolie was recently tipped to be starring in The Thomas Crown Affair 2 alongside Pierce Brosnan and has reportedly been ordered by studio bosses to put on weight for the role.

I just think Nolan's approach to the whole Batman franchise has more realism attached to it, and The Penguin and Catwoman would be kind of hard to pull off in that sense.

It however I think could be done with Catwoman. The Penguin, not so much.

Actually critics believe that the Penguin is one of the worst villians in the Batman franchise. Even a large portion of fans (especially the ones who buy the comic books) consider him to be a joke and a very little threat to Batman and find him to be ridiculous. The Penguin would just be a HUGE step down after the Joker and Two Face in this movie. The villians who have a much larger fanbase and are critically renowned are Mister Freeze, Posion Ivy, Harley Quinn and Two-Face. The Penguin is small time compared to The Joker and Catwoman. Heck even Scarecrow is considered a more sound villian then Penguin.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
