Fantasy Cast… Who should play Catwoman and Penguin in next ‘Batman’?

It is inevitable.   ‘Batman 3’, or whatever it will be called, is going to happen.   There is as much certainty of this as there is that that ‘Spider-Man’ musical won’t last more than one season on Broadway.   Of course, the big question about ‘Batman 3’ (other than the title and whether or not Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale will return) is who the villains in the film will be.

The popular choices are Catwoman and Penguin.

So, who are your number one choices?   Angeline Jolie’s name was bandied about there for awhile in regards to Catwoman, but those talks have subsided in recent weeks.   I’ve gotta say it’s a role that just about any hot chick can play.   The costume really does most of the work.   If I were casting it, though, I’d probably have to give it to Megan Fox.   The girl is right at the cusp of breaking out big, and she has that kind of unrefined Angelina Jolie look to her.

Now, onto the Penguin.   There are really only two names out there that stand out, and those are Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman.   Both are incredible actors who I think would do an excellent job in the role, especially if they made Oswald Cobblepot more of a sophisticate and not the monster the Penguin ended up being in ‘Batman Returns’.   Early rumors were that the character would be a weapons dealer, and that seems like a pretty nice fit.

Who are your ultimate choices for these roles?   Do you think the next ‘Batman’ should completely subside these two characters and go with someone more sinister?   Will most of this be a moot point if Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale get replaced with Brett Ratner and Shia Labeouf?   Just a thought.   Shoot us your thoughts on this below!
