More Ridiculous Rumours About The Next Batman Sequel

The web is going crazy about The Daily Telegraph’s report from “a studio executive” about the next Batman movie, but I’m calling “bullshit” right now. I’ll give you an excerpt of the article and then explain why I think this was pulled out of someone’s ass.
The Oscar-winner will join a cast that includes Johnny Depp as The Riddler as she plays the whip-carrying burglar. The character has also been played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.
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.”
Filming of the new Batman instalment, provisionally entitled The Caped Crusader, is due to begin in Vancouver early next year.
Ok, setting aside the fact that this sounds like a totally ridiculous casting move- although Depp may make a decent Riddler, I’ll reserve judgement on that part - how does Nolan have a first choice to play anyone when he hasn’t even committed to directing the next movie and how is filming set to begin early next year when a script hasn’t even been turned in?
I call B.S, kids.

Probably bullshit. Fans are really just pressing studios to include Catwoman and the Riddler for the next film with their individual choices for the perfect actors. Myself included.

Total BS. Dude, who the fuck wants to see Cher in a skin tight, leather catsuit?

Yeah, WB has called BS. I think the actual quote is “Those rumors are completely false.”
