Just when you thought the Catwoman movie couldn't possibly get any worse, according to AICN, Benjamin Bratt isn't playing some random detective in it. He's actually playing freaking Batman.

I will totally accept Christian Bale playing the Bat because he's got the right amount of emotional gravity for it, but Benjamin Bratt?!

Uh, no. Just ... just no.

"Ahhh! Run for the hills, evil-doers! It's Batman! It's....uh. Batman? Hee hee hee....a man. And he dresses like a bat. Heh. Heh heh. Heh heh ha ha HA HA AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"No, I'm scary! And mysterious! Look at me scowl!"

"Oooo, scary scowling guy. Why aren't you....SCOWLMAN?"

*bad guy collapses in hysterical laughter*

IMDB says he's playing Detective Tom Lone.

And that Sharon Stone is also in this movie.

And omilord, Peter Wingfield!

Ack. Ack. Need brain cleaning enzymes.

IMDb also says Halle Berry is playing Patience Prince, and we know damn well that's supposed to be Catwoman. It'd be just the kind of shit these filmmakers would pull, too ... "Well, uh, he was Bruce Wayne, but then his parents died and he was adopted! Yeah, that's it. And his name was changed and he still has the money, but he's a detective. Yeah, that's the ticket ..."

Peter Wingfield?! Aw, maaaaaaan ... somebody needs to edit him out of the movie, then go to his house and scrub the Catwoman cooties off him.

No, Peter, don't do it! You're too sexy and talented to be anywhere near this movie! RUN!

Well, yes. Patience Price or Prince or whatever didn't get her Catwoman gig from a brain damage/split personality situation. She got her powers directly from the Egyptian cat goddess Bast. I don't know how I know this! *sob* The stuff I don't want to know about this movie keeps getting in my head and...and it won't leave!

And oh, god...you frighten me with how well you can imitate Hollywood thinking! I can see them doing that. And...and...they will do that...because you've ...invoked it! *wail*

*hands you wire brush to scrub Peter Wingfield with*

Have at it.

You know, I wouldn't even be letting myself think it, but ... but ... I mean, his last name is Lone. That's probably their idea of clever or something. Ugh.

If Peter Wingfield is in that movie, I guarantee you that I won't pay one BIT of attention to Benjamin Bratt.

Though I do agree that Peter is far, far, FAR too sexy and talented to be in a movie such as this.

Tell me about it. "I'm sorry, Detective Lone, were you saying something? The hot British guy just took his shirt and said something snarky."

*thud*

I have a feeling that this movie shall be like Highlander: Endgame....major suckage, except for three nice minutes of Peter.

*flipping through a recent issue of catwoman*

But what about that scene where Selina puts the Bast statue back on the pedestal, during that adventure with Wildcat, and the green light whomps her? She stopped breathing and then she was suddenly fine. I think something's up with that.

But, uh, yeah, this movie idea sucks. I would much rather have former-dominatrix, cynical selina kyle complete with her lesbian sidekick, aging therapist and mucho macho private eye buddy.

That is the ONLY Catwoman that survives in my universe. This movie is but a twisted figment of some nutjob's imagination.

*carts Bats and Cats and Peter Wingfield off to some nice safe place out of the reach of this insanity*
