Should Megan Fox be the next Catwoman? [Updated]

The blogosphere was abuzz with reports that Megan Fox clawed her way into the next "Batman" film.

British tabloid The Sun first reported the "Transformers" star had landed the role of Catwoman in the sequel to "The Dark Knight."

However, Warner Bros. Studios released a statement disputing the story: "It's a rumor. It's not true. There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."

Well if it had been true, Fox would have big paws to fill. Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry have both squeezed into the catsuit for the most recent big-screen incarnations of the DC Comics character.

Catwoman's alter ego Selina Kyle was originally portrayed as a supervillain, but more recent interpretations depict her as a possible love interest for Batman.

Fox certainly has the slinky, sultry looks to play a feline-inspired character, but does she have the presence? Production on the third film in the latest "Batman" franchise begins next year.

Kate Beckinsale has a proven track record in catsuits.

Megan is hot, but she can't act for nothing. Find someone else. Plus she's a little young for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne.

the original catwoman was a black female actress, Eartha Kitt, ya dummy!

Not a white woman. GEEZ

If Catwoman is in the next Batman movie, then Megan Fox is a good choice. She will look good in the catsuit, but then again so would Eliza Dushku. I wouldn't mind seeing her in the catsuit either.

Ok, so she is insanely hot but this would ruin the movie completely. I dont think this is true anyway. Nolan has said nothing of starting this yet and I'm almost 100% sure that a script hasn't been finished, let alone casting. So lets just wait and see people.
