    No one mentioned Kate Bosworth…she is a DC lady. If the trend is to go young (and if she gained 25 lbs), she’d be great…..as long as they bring Isis, her cat into it!

    john cho would be great as the mandarin. as for catwoman rachel weisz is okay, but i do have some other choices. keri russell, kiera knightly, or kristin kreuk(of smallville).

    Is Terrence back in Ironman 2?

    How about Green Lantern movie rumors? Common as GL/Jon Stewart. I don’t buy the Batman rumors, and I don’t think Tommy Chong is going to be in IM2. But I want to know about a Green Lantern Movie though.

    ShoNuff, I second everything you said.

    I’d still like Charisma Carpenter get Wonder Woman over Beyonce. Let’s give Charisma some love.

    You know who John Cho would be fantastic as? Jimmy Woo. That’s right — Agents of Atlas, best comic Marvel has made in years. Now THAT should be a movie.

    Angelina Jolie would be a perrrrfect Catwoman. She would be a lot like Julie Newmar, who in my opinion was the best and sexiest catwoman.

    Boy, bad casting rumors all around. Eddie Murphy would suck as the Riddler. As would Weisz as Catwoman and Cho as Mandarin. They should get a guy like John Lone to play Mandarin.

    Rachel Weisz would be a great Catwoman. Much better than Angelina Jolie, who can’t act.

  • jasper

    Weisz would make a great Catwoman.

  • Lynny

    I would have never thought Rachel Weisz, but SOOOO PERFECT! I love Angeline, but it seems a little obvious for her.

    ANGELINA JOLIE AS CATWOMAN AND JOHNNY DEPP AS THE RIDDLER & PHILIP SYMORE HOFFMAN AS THE PENGUIN

    I hope that Catwoman isn’t in the third installment. Keep it grim and gritty. It’s worked for 2 movies. Why mess with a successful formula? However, if Catwoman is to appear, I guess Rachel Weisz would be the best. I’d prefer the Riddler who’d be best as a Zodiac style killer. As for the Mandarin in Iron Man 2, sorry folks, but Iron Man, a great hero, has been cursed with what is hands down, the lamest rogues gallery in comics. The Mandarin is a asian cliche and wouldn’t be worth touching unless they can make him interesting. It can be done though. I just think they should get someone else in the Marvel Universe. There’s quite a lot to choose from.
