: From CINESCAPE ONLINE:
: The N.Y. Post reports that Ben Affleck is ready to sign on to play Batman in the franchise's fifth installment for a price tag of $15 million. But rumor has it that before Affleck will sign, girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow must agree to play Catwoman. Paltrow is, as always, in heavy demand, and apparently undecided about playing the role.

: Ugh, no more Gwyneth, please!
I hope I'm sporting Depends on the day that the Queen of Pretentiousness is officially announced as Catwoman, because I do believe I will shit myself. Gwyneth Paltrow agreeing to appear in a mere fluffy Batman movie?! It will never happen. No way, no how.
As for Affleck, I don't think he's a *terrible* choice for the role, but he doesn't quite seem right. I'd go with David Boreanaz. Motherfucker basically plays Batman week in, week out already. Plus he already works for WB and wouldn't cost that much.
