Based on how she's tired of having been seen as eye candy I'll wager that she's going to play Alfred. Another option would be Calendar Girl, I found this on reddit:

"Her backstory is that she was a former model and actress that became a villain out of spite against the movie studios and modeling agencies that dropped her when she turned 30."

That would honestly be perfect for her and beyond hilarious.

I hope that's the role

I can't wait for this movie
 
My first thought was Poison Ivy

Didnt she had a crysis because shes no longer attractive as she was? lol

Anyway, she has pretty much the face of Poison Ivy and can interpret that role well if you ask me.
 
Batgirl the sister of poison ivy could be the more attractive role, there's other characters too and her skills could pull off any Batman character
 
Was really hyped for The Batman since I enjoyed Matt Reeves's work for the Planet of the Apes films.
However, after watching it twice, once in IMAX, I still feel it ain't as good as Nolan's take thus far.
Everything felt good quality, but something did not click with me. I hope the second one hits the ball out of the park though.

i love the batman, but for they could of cut down the ending, it should of ended with him on top of the staduim looking up, instead we had have an extra 20mins of the boring cat women story line

It's remarkably boring, that's why. Visually amazing but what a slog to get through, especially on a rewatch.

Yeah, that must be it. I literally can't even remember what really happened near the end.

That movie had like 4-5 endings. It just kept going. My friends and I burst out laughing when we realized that it just refused to end. For example when Bats and Cats are by their motorcycles. Then they ride. And keep riding. And riding. And then it truly ended. We were howling with laughter at that point.

And the stadium scene should never have happened. The story was much too intimate and Zodiac-like for such a bombastic turn of events. Personally I felt the movie was very disjointed and didn't really know what story it wanted to tell or how. The script could have used another year of tweaking and editing.

God damn, they are still casting for this movie? Feels like this is the Duke Nukem Forever equivalent of movies. Honestly I'm not really excited for it anyways since I consider The Batman mid at best and don't really understand all the praise it received. I was initially excited for Battinson but walked out of the theater fairly disappointed in him. Jeffrey Wright as Gordan was fine and I've always enjoyed him in other works but Oldman's Gordan is perfection in the casting and portrayal. I also didn't care for Serkis' Alfred or Zoe's Catwoman at all and the only 2 bright spots I really liked were Farrell's Penguin and Dano's Riddler portrayals. I did like The Penguin show on HBO pretty well though. I'd probably rank The Batman below all 3 Nolan films and 89.

A YEAR? Hell, most hollywood scripts these days just need a weekend of booze and coke to solve all their issues. Even just a straight read through would have exposed all the issues.

I think the problem is that people just don't use hard drugs as much anymore. There should be a warning on movies or shows like: "this was made without people smoking crack" or "written by a non-psilocybin using scriptwriter".

Possibly, the 'drugs' in use are anti-depressants and lithium for sure.

What I think the main issue is though isn't the lack of time crunch cocaine binge writing, but rather "checklist" writing that requires a lot of homogenization of content to meet arbitrary goals. So you are not getting a unique product from a single group, but rather a corporate "mass appeal" formula pervading even low budget stuff these days. Few are pushing the envelop or sticking to their own vision.

CG also retards creativity because you are not forced to compromise, find new solutions, or work around things that are out of budget. CG can do ANYTHING, just the quality is dog shit without time and $$$. So rather than a Jaws "the shark doesn't work so we gotta imply more = suspense" thing we get a "look at this really shitty CG rendered shark in EVERY SCENE" travesty.

That has probably a lot to do with the lack of physical media sales like VHS and DVD. Braver productions were economically feasible even if they didn't make great numbers at the box office. Nowadays stuff go to streaming, but I don't think it generates nearly as much revenue as previous sales. This new reality might have fostered risk averse executives.

They slapped an offbeat 4th act onto it because Matt Reeves realized the entire movie Riddler was killing deeply, deeply corrupt politicians and career criminals to the point that you're thinking "wait how is he the bad guy in this story?" so he turned him into a loser incel 4chan shooter / mass murderer for literally no coherent reason in the final act. The whole "flooding half the city" was just ridiculous.

The reason almost nothing about this movie feels rewarding or satisfactory is because you have this dude going around killing criminals directly or indirectly responsible for an insane amount of death and misery by flooding the city with drugs and shit and then you have Batman trying to stop him and somehow you're supposed to root for Batman and not for Riddler.
