Catwoman
for Catwoman in Alternate Casting: Dark Knight Trilogy
Suggested by chris83
Were you a fan of the Dark Knight Trilogy just like me? The actors that brought these characters to life clearly set the standard and in most cases it has been pretty difficult to measure up to them. But what if it had turned out different? Would you liked to have seen a different actor or actress play Batman, The Joker or Catwoman? Is there anyone who you thought should've played the roles or been a better option instead? Below are the alternative casting choices that were actually considered to play these parts so NO ACTORS WHO REALLY DID PLAY IN THE TRILOGY THEM SHOULD BE SUGGESTED. Although I will be adding Katie Holmes for Rachel Dawes as she originated the role but departed it in case anyone thinks she should've stayed in the role. (note, I have added a character that didn't at all appear in the trilogy but was considered to be the main villain in the Dark Knight Rises with actors in mind to play him so although he ultimately wasn't used the character still counts as an alternate casting)
