Megan Fox Is Catwoman. In Other News: Santa Clause Is Real, O.J. Didn’t Do It And The Oscars Love Comedies



Posted by John Campeaon 26. 08. 2009in News Chat

I don’t want to waste too much of my time on this post, but it at least deserves mentioning. Let me say this once. Are you all listening? MEGAN FOX IS NOT CATWOMAN. Ok?

I don’t care what “The Sun” said. It’s not happening. Do you think for one solitary moment that Christopher Nolan would ever in a million years even CONSIDER casting a talentless piece of meat like Megan Fox in his Batman franchise?

The man who put Christian Bale in
The man who put Michael Caine in
The man who put Gary Oldman in
The man who put Morgan Freeman in

This is not Michael Bay. Nolan is not all about tits and ass. This is his Batman franchise, and there is no way in hell this genius is going to put Megan Fox in it. Period. End of story. No questions asked.

I simply can not believe how many people I’ve read on the web today that actually believe this tripe.

This reminds of of last year when people were eating up the “news” that it was “confirmed” that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman had joined the cast of Batman 3 as the Riddler and the Penguin… long before Nolan had even begun thinking about a Batman 3.

It… is… not… happening.

Maybe she could be “Nameless hooker #5″, but that’s about as far as Nolan would go.

    I can’t believe how many people actually believe this.

    Is The Sun even a credible news source? If they were, they definitely aren’t now.

    • Bill says:

      Yeah, but then US networks and news outlets, including FOXNews ran with it too, so it kind of snowballed from there

      • Calviin says:

        Fox News isn’t a credible news source.

      • Bill says:

        I would think they are credible, even though what they quoted, i.e. the Sun, may not be

      • Eric says:

        HAH! In the title of the story, wherte it says “Santa Clause is real, OJ didn’t do it, and the Oscars love comedies,” you might as well throw in that Fox News is a reliable, un-bias, bi-partisan news source. That said, this isn’t happening, and if it did, I don’t know how enthusiastic I would be, even if it was shot entirely in IMAX

      • Cinema Phreak says:

        All this talk about the new Batman in IMAX, I want to see PORN in IMAX. LMAO

      • Cinema Phreak says:

        All this talk about the new Batman in IMAX, I want to see PORN in IMAX. LMAO…. I’d pay to see megan fox in a Porn in IMAX…

      • Darren J Seeley says:

        FoxNews IS a reliable news source. And any news outlet can make an error. Besides, why call them out? They didn’t say it as fact. Leave FoxNews out of it.

      • kiyo says:

        How can you say FoxNews is a credible news source. Have you even seen the tripe that they present as news?

      • Darren J Seeley says:

        I am not going to be a party to unfair myths and stereotypes that some people put on FoxNews. That “tripe” as you put it focuses a lot on current news, and while there are times when some of their commentators/show hosts go overboard, I have little respect for those who choose to put all of FoxNews in a box.

        There are times when I feel that the commentator hosts of the opinion shows (O’Reilly, and especially Hannity, who I can barely watch) point the finger to the “extreme left” one too many times. But I do find them, for the most part, fair and balanced.

        You have a right to disagree, but you also have a right to be wrong.

      • Rodney says:

        Have you ever seen the lemmings line up to hate on Fox while being unable to give examples?

        Just sayin.

      • FunkyMunkey says:

        But Fox and The Sun are both owned by the same company, so that don’t mean diddly

  2. Bill says:

    Thank you John for providing prospective on this. I know I am probably one of many who e-mailed this to you, as it did not seem believable, but compared to other rumors, etc; this one actually used the word SIGNED, so that freaked me a little. Do not get me wrong, she has the look, but none of the talent to pull this off.

    • Calviin says:

      I hope this helps Bill.

    • max says:

      fox news, reliable? AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA…HAHAHAHAHA…ha. haha.

      thanks. i haven’t laughed like that in a long time.

  3. Jeremy K. says:

    LOL! I read a comment yesterday in a post on IO9 yesterday claiming Summer Glau to be Catwoman in the next Batman. Rumor mills are so fun.

  4. Matt Keith says:

    I won’t even see the film if that was real. I’d rather had someone who can ACT than someone who was cast just to attract the horny tweenagers.

  5. cloud720 says:

    Has Nolan signed on yet?

    Maybe Bay will replace him

    • Darren J Seeley says:

      If Bay comes aboard, we will owe Shoemaker (Shumacher) an apology for ten years of endless rants and whipping posts.

  6. JAMES (hazmat) says:

    Lmao @ “Nameless hooker #5″

    Well, wheres this rumor coming from? Does anyone have a link?

    • Darren J Seeley says:

      Haz! That’s right! She can be a “pool girl” or “russian ballerina” …but I’d rule out hooker. Bruce wayne wouldn’t pick up a hooker.

      What’s that?
      Batman can beat the shit out of her drug dealing pimp? Well, alright, then.

  7. krazie835 says:

    Katie Holmes, who honestly thinks she is some great thespian, and yet she was part of the Batman franchise.

    • Clair says:

      HAH good point…

    • thematticus says:

      She was replaced. And while she isn’t good, she is Dame Judie Frickin Dench compared to Megan Fox

    • John says:

      The thing is Krazie, that there are many (not me) who do consider Holmes a decent actress.

      But even those that don’t (like me) understand there is a universe of difference between her and Megan “shut up and look at my ass” Fox.

      • bigsampson says:

        i disagree …. holmes is nothing on screen …no presence…..both cant act yet one is considered prettier buy majority…..the only draw that holmes has is she is married to a fucking retarded and married a scientologist.

        i personally think both are a joke and that i would pay $50 to bang each of them

      • Dragonslayer says:

        Tom Cruise says this to your comment:

        “Now just take a step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!!!”

        LOL

      • Sound Designer Dan says:

        I have to disagree with you bigsampson. Holmes isn’t “nothing” onscreen. She does well in certain kinds of roles. I thought she gave pretty damn good performance in “Pieces of April.” Just because she gave a mundane performance in “Batman Begins” doesn’t mean she’s a bad actress.

      • Darren J Seeley says:

        Big Sam, I want you to find a film called “Pieces Of April”. Katie Holmes is great in that film.

  8. thematticus says:

    Your so ANGRY these days, John. I kind of like it.

    • Clair says:

      He has seemed very angry. hah. Megan is hot and truly doesnt care about what anyone thinks about her, and is actually smart enough to know and acknowledge she isnt an amazing actress. On the other hand… I dont want her to have anything to do with Batman.

  9. Andrew says:

    Okay, I must have fallen asleep here. Now, someone tell me, when exactly did Christopher Nolan all of a sudden morph into Joel Schumacher? Now, I know that Nolan hasn’t signed on yet, (crosses fingers) but this is getting ridiculous. I’m completely 100% with John on this. Minus the trash-talk about Megan Fox, and hate me if you want for this, but as an actress, I think she’s okay. She just needs time to find her voice. Remember, not everyone liked Jack Nicholson when he started acting, but look at him now.

    BTW John, did you ever hear the rumor that Miley “Hannah Montana” Cyrus was the next actress to play Batgirl? The rumors these days.

    • bigsampson says:

      ya well i personally think thatthe 2 batman movies where decent…second onewas way to long.,….they didnt really show justice for batman in the sense of what i was looking for….but like i said thety where still great movies…..miley cyrus wont be in it mainly cause its not nolans style.

  10. riggs says:

    1. she cant act
    2. she isnt that good looking imo.
    3. nolan is a genious
    4. her PR person should get a raise.

  11. Audioout says:

    While I must say her “acting” in Transformers was pretty non existent, I reserve judgment on her as an actress at whole until after Jennifer’s Body.

    But Jessica Alba on the other hand…

    • Mikano94 says:

      First off, have you seen the trailer for Jennifer’s Body,it has some of the WORST acting I’ve seen in a movie in a Really long time.

  12. Yamo says:

    What? You guys didnt hear about the new casting for the movie Zac Efron as Robin,The Olsen twins are playing in a shared role Harley Quinn,Pauly Shore as The Ventriloquist,Chris Tucker as Lucius Fox. Lets start this rumor around and see how many people go bat-sh#t.

    • Mikano94 says:

      I think I died a little inside after reading this comment and thinking about the horrors this casting would bring upon us.

  13. Encore Entertainment says:

    Hold on let me go vomit…

    Okay I’m back. How repulsive. A wannabe porn star as Catwoman…just cast Michelle P. I find her hotter.

    To be honest, I don’t know who’d be the perfect catwoman, but they’re so many young talented actresses…

    Rebecca Hall
    Kerry Washington
    Scarlett Johansson [don't stone me]

    heck my TV crush Leighton Meester would be way better

    or he can go out of the box what about Lucy Liu…

    I just hope this is a hoax.

  14. 3R!C says:

    But Santa Clause is real!!! I saw him at the bus stop Downtown pushing a cart with bags of toys attached to it.

  15. SlashBeast says:

    There’s tons of actresses just as, and even more, attractive than her who can actually act. She has no place in Nolan’s movies.

  16. Vito says:

    The Sun is always behind this shit. They also started the Eddie Murphy too, I believe, and the Miley Cyrus bit.

    The Sun needs to go away.

  17. Michael Banno says:

    If Nolan were to cast her as someone, I guarantee you that it wouldn’t simply be for Tits and Ass. Just saying.

  18. entertainmenttodayandbeyond says:

    Personally I don’t want a Catwomen in Nolans universe as I just don’t see her as a fit.

    chuck

    • Rodney says:

      I didn’t think Scarecrow and his flaming horse was a good fit either. Nolan can make ANY of these hokey 4 colour comic rogues work.

  19. leeloo says:

    we all know megan fox as catwoman is bogus bullshit
    because cher is already signed on to be catwoman.

  20. Dragonslayer says:

    BULLSHIT!!!!

  21. movieman says:

    “Nameless hooker #5″

    HAHA - this made my day. Besides, Cher is catwoman. Get with it people.

  22. bigsampson says:

    sorry to say but the catwomen character sucks anyways.

  23. Jim says:

    “The man who put Christian Bale in
    The man who put Michael Caine in
    The man who put Gary Oldman in
    The man who put Morgan Freeman in”

    What? Where’s the Liam Neeson love man??!!!!
    He’s also the guy who put Katie Holmes in, decided to immediately kill of Two Face, and approve yet another lame Bat costume.

    • SlashBeast says:

      What was wrong with the costume? Not enough nipples?

      • Jim says:

        Not gothic enough for one, ears too short for my taste (check the long ears in Judgment on Gotham for instance) and looks too much like armor.

        I’d like to see a stab at the dark blue and grey instead of going to black every time. Maybe it doesn’t translate well to a real life actor, but at least tone down the battle armor look. ugh.

      • SlashBeast says:

        “Not gothic enough for one, ears too short for my taste (check the long ears in Judgment on Gotham for instance) and looks too much like armor.

        This is why I hate fanboys.

      • Sound Designer Dan says:

        “…looks too much like armor.”

        Um, wasn’t that the point. He is a dark “knight” after all.

      • Governor says:

        “I’d like to see a stab at the dark blue and grey instead of going to black every time.”

        You do know that he is the DARK knight.

      • Darren J Seeley says:

        @Jim

        I’d like to see a stab at the dark blue and grey instead of going to black every time.

        I always held the belief that had Schumacher been allowed to continue, that wish would have been granted. In Batman & Robin, the new suits had a dark blue/silver thing going on, silver replacing the grey. In my mind, it was a back door waiting to be opened.

        We stopped it in the nick of time.

  24. Sterculius says:

    She can go ahead and play Catwoman if she wants. Just not in a Batman movie. Only in a stand alone, like the Halle Berry one. Stay FAR AND AWAY from Batman you sea-hag!

  25. fullmetal_medji says:

    Hello ppl. Megan Fox can’t be Catwoman. She’s going to be Batgirl in the next movie. Halle Berry is the only actress who can pull Catwoman. If Nolan signs on this will be his first casting choice. Her spectacular performance in the very underrated and Brilliant Catwoman made me realize she is destined to be Catwoman. Now, if Eddie Murphy signs on as The Riddler, Batman 3 will be the 2nd best movie ever, next to Catwoman of course.

  26. King Jonny says:

    LOL wow….First Johnny Deep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman were “cast” as The Riddler and The Penguin, then Miley Cyrus supposedly trying to audition as Batgirl (in costume), and now THIS? Megan Fox is hot and all, but there’s NO WAY that Christopher Nolan would ever cast her as Batman’s love interest. None at all.

    Rumors sure make me laugh sometimes.

  27. Jim says:

    “This is why I hate fanboys.”

    Not a fanboy junior, I’d just like to see a director stick with the source material for once.

  28. Anti-Septic says:

    I would like to see Christina Ricci play Catwoman, she is always in great shape and has that impish/crazy persona that I always imaging Catwoman to have.

    I know the Fox thing is a big hoax, so no point commenting on that.

    • bernardg says:

      Christina Ricci? not a bad idea at all, aside from having played bad girls many time, good actress, not a mainstream tabloid fodder, not overtly beautiful, gothic chick looks, cute body (see black snake moan). I’m all for this one.

      • HB says:

        Hmm… actually I concur that she’d make a fine candidate!

        I consider her to be a bit like a fuller, younger Helena Bonham Carter.

  29. Mitch W. says:

    I will agree that Megan Fox is nothing more than eye candy; however, Nolan did cast Katie Holmes so I’m not sure who is worse.

  30. Jemon Ace Mirasol says:

    For me, its is OK for Megan Fox to play the role as CATWOMAN. She’s a good actress.

  31. sahil says:

    I don’t think that the Oscars hate comedies. Just about 2 years Juno won for best original screenplay and was nominated for best picture. And last year Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for best supporting actor for Tropic Thunder.

  32. Derek 8-Track says:

    Your post makes it sound like Nolan is for sure signed on, is he? I mean we all know its pretty much 100% sure he will. but is he actually signed on and doing it. like is it official. because, yeah, Nolan might not hire her, but some other jackass might.

  33. Tiglet says:

    haha , I just asked yesterday on the other batman 3 blog if you would like Megan fox as catwoman, I knew you hated her though :D

  34. Roman727 says:

    She is going to be Catwoman!

    But its going to be in the Waynes Brothers new movie Meet the Waynes, Marlon Waynes will be black Bruce Wayne/Batman and Kennan will be black Alfred. Megan fox will be the temptress to any powerful black man, a crazy white woman! Also Sean Waynes will be Lucious Fox and Andy Dick will be the Joker.

    COMING TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  35. Roman says:

    Thats going to be an epic film but we have to find a way to include Carmen Electra she is in all those films. Maybe she can be Giganta and we do some JLA crossover. The only way to make Carmen’s chest bigger is turn her into a giant!

  36. Kbowers says:

    Megan fox is shit n def dnt want her for catwoman but for that matter I dnt want to see catwoman n batman 3 I actually would like to see mr freeze Nolan could make the character interesting n bad ass looking n also since they dark knight is now wanted n on the run at the end of the movie after batman spirit is somewhat broken with everyone against him I like to see a quick couple sec shot of bane n have him set up for the villian n batman four

    • Roman says:

      these movies hold a sense of reality i dont think bane and mr freeze are in keeping with the established tone for the future of the franchise. The only way i could see it going would be to touch back with the league of shadows. People loved batman begins even more so than dark knight (at least i did close second though). Health Ledger is so revered for his role let it be there and go back to the roots of begins and give a deep story based on wayne and bats duality.

  37. Coatesy says:

    John,

    I agree Nolan almost certainly isn’t going to cast Megan Fox as catwoman but for everyone saying “she is a terrible actress.” (only a sith deals in absolutes) it’s pretty short sighted, she hasn’t played any noteworthy parts to date, sure, but then she hasn’t done all that much to date!

    If Nolan was to cast her maybe this would be the role that she steps up and is long remembered for! afterall, I seem to remember alot of reactions of either amusement or disgust from many fans when Ledger was cast as the Joker…

    So while I doubt Megan Fox will be cast in a Nolan Batman, in response to your comment - “Maybe she could be “Nameless hooker #5″ - I ask, is there really any need for that?

  38. DG Music says:

    I’m just gonna say ‘LAWL’
