While I think The Dark Knight was an good movie, and Ledger made a fantsatic Joker, I wonder how good Batman: Year one would have been? If memory serves the guy who was going to direct it directed the Black Swan.
Bat Nipples? Kilmer wasn't bad, but the script for Batman Forever was (I blame Akiva Goldsman). EVERYTHING, even Clooney, was bad about Batman & Robin (and it was even more Akiva Goldsman's fault).
Anyway, I liked both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but preferred Batman Begins. Of course, that's not saying a lot because on my list of Nolan directed movies, they're fourth and fifth respectively behind Inception (3rd), The Prestige (2nd) and Memento (1st).
I thought that, too, until I saw her in Get Smart. She played a formidable Agent 99 in both the action sequences as well as eye candy. I think she'll do well as Catwoman.

It was a horrible movie, but I'd blame Joel Schumacher a lot more than Goldsman. From what I understand, it was his idea to turn Batman into that nip-sporting wuss, and also to turn the entire franchise into a bad broadway show.

But not to hear Joel talk today -- Nope! He says he wanted to make a darker, grittier more viceral batman than Burton did, but WB wouldn't allow it. At this time the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles were opting out from using their weapons in their movies and violence had to be cut down dramatically. He said they wanted more of an artistic approach for the films... He just complied.
I don't buy any of it. I'll track down his statement.
While I think Nolan's films are the best Batman films, Christian Bale is a terrible batman. He's good at playing Wayne, but not Batman. Just terrible. Almost laughable.

Unfortunately there's no almost about it for me. I was laughing out loud at the Dark Knight.
Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, just all wrong. Give me Michelle Pfeiffer anyday. Natelie Portman is just far too meek and too small to play Catwoman. She just wouldn't be able to pull off Catwoman with that small annoying voice. Now, I'm not saying that an actress who's physcially small couldn't pull it off, but of all the actresses I can think of, she has too many hurdles to jump (no scarcasm intended)
Remember that disaster of a flim from the Blade trilogy (I think Goyer directed the last one, if memory serves) where Jessica Biel played Whistlers daughter. They gave her access to top trainers and STILL she didn't look belivable in any of the fight scenes. Fit, yes, but not believable.
Charliez Theron would make an impressive Catwoman. But my No 1 choice for Catwoma has to be Gina Carano. She plays the lead in Soderbergh's film Knockout. She has the MMA backround and looks good too .
Natalie Portman showed some fighting skills in Your Highness. It was a shit movie but she got to play in an action role.
Rosario Dawson would probably be a great Catwoman.

100% agreed on looking the part. She's gorgeous. But, if we're talking about a balance between looks, acting ability and CV that says fighting ability and belivablity in action scenes, then, for me anyway, Gina gets a thumbs up.
