2. Halle Berry as Catwoman in Catwoman
The
Catwoman movie was so bad that I could only stand to watch little tidbits of it whenever it happened to air on television. The marketing stills of
Halle Berry in her Cat costume make me cringe all by themselves. Halle Berry must have had fun playing dress-up, because the result, though scintillating, was terrifyingly horrible. I got embarrassed just thinking about watching this film. I was at my in-laws house one day, and they had Catwoman playing (one of those tidbit times). I seriously thought it was a bad movie from the Lifetime channel, and then I saw Halle Berry. Berry and the studio had a noble idea in taking this role. Just as Lawrence Fishburne was cast in The Man of Steel as Perry White, Halle Berry was cast as a black Catwoman to change the characters type-cast. That is no problem when done well, but when an actor portrays a comic-book character successfully, they usually dont move on to another comic-book character. Halle Berry is Storm from X-Men, not a weird rendition of the ultimate cat-burglar. If Zoe Saldana would have been around, and the studio decided to put together a better film, just imagine the Catwoman outcome. That is a film I would pay to see. In the meantime, I cant wait to see Anne Hathaway play Catwoman. The trailer from The Dark Knight Rises looks promising, particularly when she sounds so much more menacing than previous renditions of the character. Will Selina Kyle be a true villain? I hope so. Who They Should Have Cast: Zoe Saldana
