Filed under: Film Flickers > Cher

We thought this was a joke, but The Telegraph is a respected newspaper.

According to the UK's Telegraph, Academy Award-winner and music icon Cher is in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third installment of the revamped Batman film franchise.

A studio executive reportedly said,

"Cher is Nolan's (director) 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."

Crazy!

What do U think about Cher as Catwoman?

      She is a little old for the part.



    2. 102

      people start thinking outside the box!!!!!!!!!!!! how many other movies have the typical super hot villan with no depth and yeah its hot but oh so blah. i actually think cher would be a great casting…. the only thing is in the comic book batman eventually marries catwoman, so i dont see how this would get in the story line as far as a love interest. unless hes going towards a seasoned cougar who brodens batmans horizons and shapes his point of view like all the other villans.



    3. 103

      I think she's too old. They should have someone else, like Angelina or hey, Madonna would make a good Catwoman.

      Or maybe they should go in a totally different direction and hire someone unexpected, who doesn't appear to have that sexy factor but could totally pull it off. Like TINA CHEN *cough*



    4. 104

      Too Old!



    5. 105

      I think it would be fabulous!!



    6. 106

      NO! That would be horrible! I hope this never happens!!!!!



    7. 107

      I think that is rediculace.. I am so sick of Cher.. UGH Please say its not true lol i cant deal with the thought this. Fuckign Chris Nolan must be on drugs.



    8. 108

      i would barf if cher was catwoman.



    11. 111

      Yess! This might make me actually go to the movies to see the next Batman installation. I love herrr! I'm going to see her in concert in October for my 21st birthday too :)

      112

      actually……i think megan fox would make a good catwoman.



    13. 113

      FUCK NO. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Cher, but Hell to the Nah.

      If the director wants to go in a different direction and have an older woman play Catowman, at least get someone who is attractive. Cher is definitely old, but she is not attractive to say the least.



    15. 115

      IT WILL BE BRILLANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    16. 116

      Cher??? She's old enough to be Bale's mother or grandmother for that matter!!!

    17. OSSIM says – reply to this


      117

      It should definitly be Anjelina.



    18. 118

      Get the walker out Cher … you go Catwoman !



    19. 119

      Way to old, i hope cat woman is a housecat in this version if cher is gonna play her. does the plot have a time machine in it? i do think it's awfully nice they are throwing that elderly woman a bone.



    20. 120

      nooooo!!! they cannot ruin batman…i like cher but she is not cat woman. Someone like Angelina/Megan Fox would be a far better choice.



    21. 121

      Too old! But, it makes some sense if you look at "The Dark Knight Returns" catwoman, which was totally LOL So, if they do it that way, it could be pretty funny and interesting :p



    22. 122

      She's a fucking great-grandmother for God's sake. Playing Catwoman would be an Oscar winning role for her.



    23. 123

      I think it'll work out…. I mean, literally she has 9 lives, and Cher can act…. I support your decision Nolan…



    24. 124

      Retire already.



    25. 125

      i dont really think shes a good choice. goodness.



    26. 126

      angelina is in talks as well…and who would you rather see…a shrivelled up Cher or a hot angelina



    27. 127

      I love Cher, but she's way to old for Bale. I thought Maggie was bad chose for Rache. Catwoman needed to sexier!



    28. 128

      It was actually set to angelina



    29. 129

      What the hell? Not to be rude or anything…but Cher is WAY to old to play Catwoman. I mean she is beautiful, but not for the role of Catwoman. Seriously who ever thought of this idea was stoned.



    30. 130

      Please tell me that's a joke! Angelina, yes. Cher, not so much.



    31. 131

      I actually think that could work if written correctly.



    32. 132

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
      Michelle Pfeiffer OWNS as Catwoman, they're going to have to do better than Cher!



    33. 133

      That would be so wrong on so many levels.



    34. 134

      i love it her or angelina would be perfect



    35. 135

      nah, we need a sexy woman to play catwomen

      i'd like to see kristen kruek play catwoman



    36. 136

      no.



    37. 137

      Crazy !!! Diva still looks good , You never know though ….



    38. 138

      I don't believe this for the specific reason that the studio said for the third film they don't want to show any villains that have already been portrayed. If it's true, she won't be much of an adversary and I can see him just running into her, but at this point I don't think it will happen.



    39. 139

      … I will boycot it. I really think i will. I am an avid little fan of the graphic novels, and of course I love what Nolan has done.. and in my imagination.. and obviously in the comic book.. I do not see CHER as catwoman.. or Selina Kyle.. what so ever..

      My vote goes to EVA GREEN.. Because if Dreamers.. too bad Kyle is Italian.. not French..



    40. 140

      OMG!!!!! NO NO NO!!!! loves CHER, but NO!!!!! Angie is the most and THE MOST PERFECT!! for the roll!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!



    41. 141

      sweet!



    42. 142

      Che is a GREAT actress. This is GENIUS casting. Her along with Johnny Depp as The Riddler will be great !



    43. 143

      well maybe if she had like an apprentice like lilly allen she would make a good young cat woman



    44. 144

      isnt she like 80? too old no?



    45. 145

      I call bullshit.



    46. 146

      There is no way that Cher can "Turn Back Time" with this role!



    47. 147

      Might be good!



    48. 148

      too old…
      how about somebody like jessica alba or something?
      or heck bring back halle berry.
      it would be like catwoman 2.



    49. 149

      not to be rude, but too old

    50. dprle says – reply to this


      150

      Hell yes / Cher is a Icon and a Gay Icon, She will always surprise you on what she can do. She will be incredible. She is life time a celebrity that has reinvented herself in ways even Madonna cannot …. can you say OSCAR



    51. 151

      Cher is awesome but I don't like the idea. I had heard Angelina, who would be cool. I just think, if its true, that the idea of Catwoman in her twilight years is kinda out there. I hope he changes his mind…but still LOVE CHER!!! :)



    52. 152

      Cher as the Catwoman? HELL YES!! I think I just splurked on myself!



    53. 153

      WRONG!!



    54. 154

      way to weird to belive it! i don't know…. i hope it wont be true…



    55. 155

      cher can play alfred's girlfriend.
      i vote for perez as the next catwoman!



    56. 156

      Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    57. 157

      A PURRRfect Catwoman!!! Better than Michelle, Halle, Angelina or Madonna.
      Glad you're thinking outside the box, Nolan!

    58. DLR says – reply to this


      158

      This has got to be a joke. Cher as Catwoman? I don't think so. Catwoman has to be age-appropriate per Christian Bale as Batman. Who wants to see a 60 year old woman poured into a latex jumpsuit and beat up Batman? I don't think so. Try again studio bigwigs.



    59. 159

      I think this is gonna be awesome!! Nolan is creating a new batman and are making the movies from a new perspective.. the other batman movies from the 80's didnt do so well right? and they tried this !typical" way of making batman. I have faith in Nolan and that he will create an amazing third batman movie, and actually think Cher would be AWESOME as Catwoman, an old vamp:D If they pick angelina Jolie, it will just be "another superhero movie" with a typical story plot. and nolan thinks outside the box!!! I LIKE:D:D



    60. 160

      That's so cool! If the idea works, it should be a really cool concept ^^



    61. 161

      Cher whips Angelina in acting ability.



    62. 162

      It would be cheap to make Cher into Cat Woman, she already looks like a cat from all the surgeries. Gah.



    63. 163

      HELL FUCKN YEAH! I could totally see it! WORD!



    64. 164

      Okay, I am noticing a pathetic trend. All of a sudden Cher is too old and too many people want Jessica Alba and what not. What is wrong with ya'll? If any of you are chicks, you should be ashamed! Never ever disrespect a woman because of her age. You're getting older, not younger. Make sure you show some respect so when you are that age you won't need to fight for it. Ageism and Sexism is not cool. Get off your high horses. Seriously.



    65. 165

      I don't see how this is possible when there a) isn't a script, b) Chris Nolen the director isn't even signed, and c) she is WAY too old… If it were 1990… sure… But… sorry, not so much.

    66. Glnno says – reply to this


      166

      No offense but I think shes too old. She may be in good shape but Im positive she wont look that fab in any type of catwoman attire. Now if the other persons heard rumor of Angelina does it… wow! My husband will be a very happy man.



    67. 167

      Isn't Cher too busy doing ANOTHER "Farewell Tour" or something? No, seriously I think Cher would be GREAT. So sick of Angelinas UGLY fucking face and those ridiculous lips the size of Texas-she looks like Pete Burns (from Dead or Alive)!!!! And with all the plastic surgery Cher has had she'll still look like she's 25 years old. Go Cher!



    68. 168

      Fuck! Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman will still be the best ever! I believe Angelina should do it!

      169

      Re: kayce. – sorry to tell you Angelina wanted a big tatoo for the outfit in cat women so she was turned down for the part



    70. 170

      OMG..I hope she goes through with this..she would be an amazing Catwoman. And to all that say 'shes too old,' shes still kicking ass and making more than you'll see in a lifetime..Fabulous!



    71. 171

      ew no pervy! she's like double his age! lol

    72. SKB says – reply to this


      172

      NOOOOO!



    73. 173

      well that would be the worst choice for Catwoman…. ever. And shes supposed to be like a cat (hence the name!!!) so why would you make her like a vampire?!?! i mean wtf?!! I hope to God this ain't true!



    74. 174

      I'm just concerned about breaking her back. DDD :



    75. 175

      it depends on the story…if the char will be grudgy or so super mega diamond dark then cher is fit for the role but if the char will seduce Batman..either Angelina or charlize is perfect for the role.
