Well there's your proof, new Batman in the works and Megan Fox as Catwoman (The Sun - seemingly the source).

Megan Fox has apparently signed up to play Catwoman in the next Batman film.

The Transformers sex symbol will thrill fans by donning a tight PVC catsuit to play Selina Kyle in director Christopher Nolan's next instalment about the comic book hero, The Sun reports.

Megan, 23, follows in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Catwoman in Batman Returns, and Halle Berry, who played the vixen in flop spin-off movie Catwoman.

Christian Bale will return as millionaire Bruce Wayne/the Caped Crusader and Sir Michael Caine will be back as his faithful butler Alfred.

Filming is due to begin next year with the movie expected to hit screens in 2011.

I'm probably wrong, but wasn't the Sun known for making up stories... like a lot?

If it's real....why...she can't act...at all..

Lets hope she has no spoken lines in that movie.

You have got to be kidding me. Transformers is one thing but the the most awesome Batman movies ever? Why?

Woot!!! Great movie + Megan Fox = Win!!

The Sun... well that's rock solid evidence...

Well that just ruined the next Batman flick for me. Begins was awesome and Dark Knight was good, R.I.P Batman films.

"If it's real....why...she can't act...at all.. "

Oh great, see ya next Batman movie! That's worse than Johnny Depp as Riddler.

Megan Fox has a shitty personality and her characters always seem extremely boring and/or brain dead.

Well it's good to know that I can watch the next Batman movie on mute and still enjoy it.

 Megan Fox in latex makes me happy. Her acting next to Christian Bale, not so much.

Noooo. God i can't stand Megan Fox, plus she looks young. So is Catwoman gonna be a teenaged crime fighter in the next Batman?

Megan Fox can't be Catwoman.  She is too friggen young as she is supposed to be a love interest to both Bruce Wayne AND Batman.  Ill belive it when and if it gets anounced by Nolan himself. 
 
My choice for Catwoman would be Angelina Jolie. At least she can act. 
 
Scarlet Johansson would also be a good choice because she doesn't look like shes still in High School.

"Noooo. God i can't stand Megan Fox, plus she looks young. So is Catwoman gonna be a teenaged crime fighter in the next Batman? "

The plus side: If she dies during post-production people will all think she's the best Catwoman ever.

THIS CAN'T BE REAL! I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT!
 
Know what would be a pretty good drinking game? Once Transformers 2 comes out on DVD, drink every time the camera focuses on Megan Fox's chest or rear. You will probably be stone drunk by the end of the movie. Alternatively, every time she says something stupid, drink. You will also be stone drunk by the end of the movie.

Fuck it she's hot just get hammered and go into the theatre

This cannot be true.  I really doubt they would cast her... She's a terrible actress.  

Lets just hope they cover up her mutant THUMBS!

Mila Kunis would be a better fit

Yea she might have to take a few more acting lessons for this role.  If I was going to just shout out a name it would probably be Angilina Jolie, I think she would be a interesting Catwoman.

Why? HAVE YOU SEEN HER?! Sure, shes an idiot with a black hole for a heart. But , shes pretty good looking. And i imagine thats all they were going for in a catwoman. As long as she doesnt talk..... "

Oh god no.
 

 
That's just terrible.

They might as well have Arnold back as Mr. Freeze

"Pretty good looking" doesn't qualify you to act good. If that is all you are looking for in a Catwoman then go watch Catwoman with Halle Berry on loop for the rest of your life.  Catwoman is a complex character that really needs a strong actress to push home the crazy that created her. Go watch Batman Returns and the pay attention to when Michelle Pfeiffer turns into Catwoman, Megan Fox would BUTCHER that role. "

I personally do not mind her lack of acting skills for obvious reasons "

No. No. No. No. No. That would just totally market the new movie as "hey teenage frat boys, our movie's pretty rad... it's got fighting and hot chicks in it". I've always thought the new Batman movies had more substance than that.
 
Not to mention Megan Fox is a terrible actress.
 
I would rather Rachel Weisz. Someone a bit mature looking. Although I guess she's not the best actress either really.
 
But still... Eww Megan Fox. Please no.

Well, I guess the legacy stops at the Dark Knight.

Just reading this makes my head hurt. Megan Fox is Catwoman... no no no no no no no NO!!!!
 
It seems the Batman curse continues. It's all downhill after the second movie...

Seriously all she did in the transformers movies was bend over slightly open her mouth

I really hate how an actress can basically get any part she wants (plus a lot of money) just for being hot.

" Seriously all she did in the transformers movies was bend over slightly open her mouth "

Aww! That makes me sad because Megan Fox = poop

This casting decision deserves:
 

Oh god......please, no. This series has been littered with good actors, don't throw in the metaphorical turd that pulls the rest back with slow motion running and tearing clothing....please.

Come to think of it Christian Bale would probably kill her if they cast her next to him.

Unless Chris Nolan sees something in her that no one else has, there is no way this is true.

"My choice for Catwoman would be Angelina Jolie. At least she can act. "

" I really hate how an actress can basically get any part she wants (plus a lot of money) just for being hot. "

Sad news.  
 
As a Batfan i never found Catwoman to be an interesting villain, and now that Megan Fox has to play her.....*cries*

I thought she was already Lara Croft

I think Nolan's ready to move past Batman, what better way to to seal a coffin than hiring none-actors in leading roles?
