I was against her casting from jump cause I knew she wasn't the right fit especially michelle thee pfeffier. You need to be on that level to do Catwoman. I thought she did alright but it wasn't Catwoman for me.

Heath was someone who everyone was like "??? him?" but he beat all the allegations. Plus he was a relatively young Joker too.

ya def. I wasn't even necessarily holding her against the standard of Michelle because honestly no one is ever going to beat that lol but even without comparing her to it, she just wasn't it

[tralexora]

This Halle erasure 🤣
Gotta love it

[genbu_no_miko24]

OMG I totally forgot about Halle!!

[winter_lace]

lets be real... most people actively try too (no offence to Halle)

Halle Berry would like a word, lol.

I know it's terrible and not even Selina Kyle but she did play Catwoman

Zoe's acting is always bad lol. Big Little Lies made me feel embarrassed for her when she was surrounded by acting superstars and struggling her nepo way through

i still maintain anne was the standout of this movie, bale was just skating along to finish the series and the rest of the men were meh to terrible (except cillian's lovely cameo)

The problem with Rises is that there were too many new characters for a third and final movie. It was too much. Nolan should’ve just done two more.
