Kathrin Romany Beckinsale (born 26 July 1973) is a British actress and model. She first gained notice while a student at Oxford University for her debut in the film adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Throughout the 1990s, she worked on both film and television, most notably by portraying the title character in the 1996 BBC television series Emma. She started film work in the United States in the late 1990s. She appeared in small-scale dramas The Last Days of Disco (1998) and Brokedown Palace (1999). In 2001, she garnered international recognition when she was cast as the romantic lead opposite Ben Affleck in her breakthrough film, Pearl Harbor (2001). She then starred in a number of films including the romantic comedy Serendipity (2001), Tiptoes (2003), The Aviator (2004), and Click (2006). Since playing the role of Selene in the Underworld film series (2003–2016), she has become known for her work in action films, including Van Helsing (2004), Whiteout (2009), Contraband (2012), and Total Recall (2012). In 2016, she received critical acclaim for her performance in the period comedy film Love & Friendship, for which she received a nomination for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress in a Comedy. She returned in action films with Jolt (2021). She also starred in two television projects with The Widow (2019) and Guilty Party (2021).
The story would have followed a young Bruce Wayne in his early days as Batman, as he tries to fight corruption in Gotham from the shadows. The film would have explored his fight against crime in the city and his learning the skills necessary to become the Dark Knight. Aronofsky's vision for the film would have been darker and more realistic than previous Batman film adaptations, and would have highlighted the character's human and vulnerable side. Instead of having access to the advanced technology seen in other Batman movies, this Bruce Wayne would have used simpler tools, like a bat and a pair of bladed gloves. The design of Batman's suit would have been more akin to a motorcycle uniform, and the Batmobile would have been a modified version of an existing car. The film would have followed Bruce Wayne as he works alongside police lieutenant James Gordon to clean up the streets of Gotham and battle the city's villains, including mobster Carmine Falcone and the psychotic Joker. Ultimately, the story would have culminated in Batman establishing himself as the protector of the city and the acceptance by the police and the citizenry of his role in fighting crime.
