The Dark Knight  is still earning heaps of cash, but the execs over at Warner Bros. are already looking ahead to the next installment of the franchise. While director Christopher Nolan has yet to officially sign on for another go at Gotham City, the rumor mill is already churning out names of the next villain who will next take on the caped crusader.

So far Catwoman has been an early contender; the hot/cold relationship between her and Batman has always been one of the comic book series’ best themes, one that could translate reasonably well into the universe of Nolan’s films. 60’s era Catwoman, Julie Newmar, had this to say in a recent interview with the New York Daily News:

"Angelina would own the part," said Newmar. "My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role."

Wow. How sexy and badass would Angelina Jolie be as Catwoman? Just imagine what she would look like poured into that skin-tight suit! And something tells me that girl already knows here way around picking a lock, so all in all, she’s a shoe-in for the part, and would definitely help fill some theater seats. But that’s just my opinion. Unfortunately or all ye hopeful, Dark Knight writers Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer have already stated that they’re not planning on having Catwoman in the third film. Bummer. However, Ms. Jolie has been known to sway men in the past, so anything is possible.

Do you think Angelina should get the part? Rant back and let us know.
