While every female in Hollywood is jockeying for the lead in Wonder Woman, it is beginning to look like another spot could
be opening up in a different superhero title. Whispers have suggested for some time now that Katie Holmes may not return to Gotham, and according to the
near-prescient folks over at Batman-on-Film, those
whispers may be picking up steam: "In other Bat-Sequel news, I'm starting to hear a few rumblings that
Katie Holmes may not return to reprise her role as Rachel Dawes."Hand-in-hand with the no-Katie rumor comes the
rumor of a new female lead being created. There are certainly several good possibilities from the comic books -- anyone
have a bet they'd like to place on who the new character may be?Katie Holmes to Leave Gotham

(Page 1)3. They should go with a villian. Better sexual tension that way. As for who will it be... PFFFFT! Take your pick anyone from Talia al Ghul to Vicki Vale to Catwoman. I doubt they'll go with an obscure character with this role. I'm assuming they'll pick someone pretty obvious.

6. Oh Katie, Katie, Katie. Your career was just blooming and you have opportunitues besides just being Mrs. Cruise. What would have the previous wives done if they passed up work? Hmm. Well, NEXT! My bet is on Catwoman. Wouldn't angie look HOT in a tight leather cat suit? Prrrrrrrrrr.

7. I think they need to bring in Harley Quinn. Jennifer Tilly would be perfect for the role I think. :)

8. Methinks Tom wants to be the only one in the spotlight in this relationship. He has cast the roles in this lifetime production with Katie, and now controls the fair maiden so much that I fear she will not be seen much by any of us anymore.

10. The only thing Katie Holmes needs to get rid of is her goofy husband.

13. Unless Katie H. had an exclusive contract to play that roll, doesn't mean you have to nix it. There are plenty of actresses that are just as good, if not better than her. It is your fault it was brought up and I think it should be up to you to fix it. Removing the part is stupid and I for one am waiting for the sequal, even if it means a new/different Rachel.

14. Oh come on people you can not blame her for wanting to have her baby and bond with baby cruise for the first few years of the babies life. they fly by so fast. and anyway it is not anyones business what she does! i do not blame her for wanting to spend the first few years of the babies life with her child. it just means she dont want a nanny raising her child.
BUT DONT GET ME WRONG!! KATIE IF TOM EVER STOPS YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU LOVE LEAVE HIS BUTT IN THE DUST! DONT LET ANY MAN DRAG YOU DOWN! YOU ARE FAR TO YOUNG AND WAY TO BEAUTIFUL TO PUT UP WITH ANY CRAP. ALSO DONT LET HIM PUSH HIS BELIEFS ON YOU.

15. Who cares? It was a "Made for the movie" character who never appeared in the comics. There are plenty of other women in the Batman World. Besides, if there was a drawback to the film, Katie Holmes was it. I like the idea of Gordon's affair. Further, Bruce Wayne is a playboy, he is supposed to have many relationships so that no one assumes he is Batman.
16. Katie who? I mean, really. Until Tom was suddenly unshut-upable and this ridiculous media frenzy over Mr. Unshutupable's evident ability to actually have an off-spring (poor child), I never even heard of Katie. And yeah, she's cute, and a sad-puppy face look, but that's it.
Oh, I did happen to flip through channels one night and saw her for a few minutes on Dawson's Creek, or whatever it's called. Again, cute. Not a movie star, though.

17. Thanks to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes has now been rendered a robotical Stepford girlfriend. He has isolated her from her family, indoctrinated her into Scientology, moved his family in with them, all in time for the impending birth of the child he intends to control. Run while you can Katie...Your family loves you. This is not the life you have dreamed of..Jane

18. I really don't know what to think about the whole Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise affair but it does appear sketchy. I hope that it'll last for some time though for her sake. It seems her career has been put on hold due to it.
Now, pertaining to Batman, I would like to see Poison Ivy played by Marcia Cross and Harley Quinn played by Pamela Anderson. I've always pictured Marcia Cross in the role of Poison Ivy, she'd be perfect-has the red hair, looks great in green, the eyes, can play an evil sexy role. Pamela Anderson because she's blond, has that little voice, and a great body. Plus, she just has to act ditzy and crazy, so that's not too difficult for her.

20. Has anyone told Katie Holmes that Tom Cruise always dumps his wives just before the pre-nups expire? I for one will never spend a penny to see another Tom Cruise film..the man has given new meaning to stupid, arrogrant and user....The classic example of a gay actor hiding behind a woman to save his career.
