EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Well, they didn't hook up. It still leaves the option of her coming back in the third film if they feel Katie Holmes isn't a negative draw for the picture. I don't care about her and Tom Cruise. I just don't think she is a horribly good actress, nor much of a sex symbol. Her draw as the female lead in a superhero film is negligible.

alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I suspect Warner felt the same way, when they made their "looking for a stronger female lead" comment. Although I didn't mind her in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 She didn't bother me, but I imagine a better actress could have been a boon to the role, or a sexier one could have been a bigger draw. Katie Holmes does have two really important scenes in the film that require acting talent she didn't have. The first would be the scene in the car where she lectures Bruce. Tonally, it just didn't play right. The second scene is in the end when she explains why she is not hooking up with him. Lastly, I find it hard to accept a girl who looks 16 is a DA.

EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I do believe that ADA's are still referred to as DA's in the manner that Deputy Sheriffs are referred to as Sheriffs, even though they are not THE Sheriff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Meh, probably. I was just being technical. Anyone you would have preferred being in the role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Someone like Famke Jansen? I know she already has a comic franchise in X-Men, but someone like her who could pull off an older, professional, wiser look. Hell, why not go with Gillian Andersen. What is she doing these days?

alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I never cared for Gillian Anderson personally. Although I could see someone like a Famke Jansen. I liked her even in her goofy role of Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye. I'm off to scour IMDB for some of my picks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Sadly, my wife has MANY TV boyfriends. Sayid from Lost, Mulder from X-Files, all the guys from CSI, House from House, anything Ewan McGregor is in, anything Harrison Ford is in, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Ewan McGregor is cool! As for female stars......seems I suck at this. No future for me in casting. I've enjoyed Jessica Alba's previous experience in comic book movie (Sin City), and I'll probably see Fantastic 4 for her alone :D Based on what I remember of Claire Danes in Terminator 3 (what great source material for finding a DA!), I think she might do ok. She seemed to be able to handle a determined character, and sort of had that "important DA" type look to her with her hair and everything. Hmmmm, maybe someone overkill like Julia Roberts (and likely increasing the budget tenfold for her salary alone)? :D Although I think the role is more geared to someone a little younger however. Since we were raiding WB for Katie Holmes, how about other WB TV show stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar (lol, somehow I think not), or Charisma Carpenter (certainly easy on the eyes).

EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 We're talking about a strong woman that acts as a moral compass for Bruce, so I think an older wiser woman still would have worked better. But then again, they wanted someone young since Bruce is supposed to be young. I think Famke Jansen could pull off trying to be young since she doesn't look old yet.

alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 On a side note, I think Christian Bale was perfectly cast. I really enjoyed his performance throughout the whole movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I think aside from Katie Holmes, the whole film was perfectly cast. Rutger, Oldman, Freeman, Caine, Bale, Murphy, Neeson, Watanabe. Stellar ****ing cast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Maybe I didn't mind Katie because she couldn't help but put in a better performance surrounded by everyone else. It's funny, I was just about to say Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman were my next favourites, but then I remember liking Neeson's teachings and Caine's undying support for Bruce! Watanabe was good too, although perhaps a little too short. Given the context of the film though, it makes sense. Bale certainly played the Billionaire, Basejumping, spleunker to the T though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Batman-on-Film.com is reporting an uncofirmed rumor that actress Isla Fisher might be considered for a role in the sequel to BATMAN BEGINS. Word is that Katie Holmes was not signed to do a sequel and it was never intended that she would. The rumor is that Fisher could be Batman's new love interest. Fisher has been in such films as SCOOBY DOO, I HEART HUCKABEES, and WEDDING CRASHERS. Even better, she is rumored to be playing Talia, Ra's Al Ghul daughter. http://cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_i...38&obj_id=49093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 I wouldnt be hearbroken to see her go. Although equally I think sticking her in a skin tight outfit wouldnt be a bad idea either :D I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

She's cute, but she has no curves on her. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I do recall some pool scenes from Dawsons Creak. I read this while looking for an upto date picture Tom Cruise has hired a Scientology official to look after girlfriend Katie Holmes during her publicity tour for new movie 'Batman Begins'. The Hollywood heartthrob has reportedly asked church representative, Jessica Rodriguez, to join the 26-year-old beauty as she promotes the summer blockbuster around the world. A source told America's New York Post newspaper: "Tom pays Jessica to 'Keep Katie on the path'. "She goes everywhere with Katie - she's never more than a quarter-step behind her". Insiders claim the controversial cult representative has already attracted anger from movie bosses. Seems likely they will drop her like a hot potato more trouble than she is worth and definately not a big enough name or a good enough actress to put up with the sort of crap.
