Angelina Jolie is reportedly being lined up to star as Catwoman in a new
movie.

The 33-year-old actress – who gave birth to twins, the fifth and sixth
children she raises with partner Brad Pitt, earlier this month – is said to
be in final negotiations with studio bosses to play the feline villain who
first appeared in the Batman comics.

Angelina has already been approved for the role by Julie Newmar, who played
Catwoman in the ‘Batman’ TV series from 1966 to 1968.

Julie, now 74, said: “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell
me she has already made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it
would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love.

“She is tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a
villainess."

Since the TV series, other actresses to take on the role of Catwoman include
Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992 movie ‘Batman Returns’, while Halle Berry’s
portrayal of the villain in 2004 film ‘Catwoman’ was panned by critics
worldwide.

Angelina was recently tipped to be starring in ‘The Thomas Crown Affair 2’
alongside Pierce Brosnan, but has been ordered by bosses to put on 28lbs for
the role.
