If Catwoman becomes part of the growing Batman franchise, it looks like Angelina Jolie may be the next actress to take on the role.
According to the actress who first made the character famous on TV, Julie Newmar, she's heard from friends in the industry that Jolie has made overtures to take on any future role connected to the character.
Newmar said to the New York Daily News, "Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love. She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."
Much of this will depend on whether The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to include Catwoman in future installments of the film series.
Newmar played Catwoman in the 1960s television series starring Adam West as Batman.
