We’ve heard reports that Angelina Jolie will donn the super-tight latex suit to play Catwoman in the next Batman film, but now there are rumors that it will actually be the 62 year-old Cher!

A studio executive said: “Cher is Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry’s purring creations.”

I’d say Cher is just about as opposite as you can get, unless you go with Rosanne Barr and that would just make everyone sick. Cher will be joining fellow villain The Riddler, played by the always entertaining Johnny Depp[. The movie tentatively titled The Caped Crusader is set to begin filming in early 2009.

I think we can all agree that Angelina Jolie would be a kick-ass Catwoman, even the woman who made the role famous. Julie Newmar says Angie would own that cat suit.

74 year-old Newmar tells the New York Daily News, “Angelina would own the part. 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.”
