Surely this must be a mistake!? There's no way the UK's The Sun "newspaper" could've lied about Megan Fox starring in Christopher Nolan's third Batman film! Why, they're only the UK version of that bastion of fact checking dilligence..that wellspring of credibility, the New York Post!
Uh, no. This is why I didn't even bother putting the story up yesterday. It stunk of lies from jumpstreet. It was being reported as FACT by The Sun that Megan Fox had already signed on to don the skintights as Catwoman in Nolan's next Batman film, and as such a ton of other sites took the news as gospel without actually thinking about the source. So it should come as no surprise that the rumor was followed up on and quickly debunked. A studio rep told People.com...
"It's rumor. It's not true," said a studio rep. "There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."
Ain't It Cool News got even more of a denial from Megan Fox's own publicist...
"Megan is a huge fan of the Batman movies and of director Christopher Nolan but these discussions have not taken place.
Thank you for checking."
With a franchise as huge as Batman, rumors like this come with the cape and cowl. But for the most part, it only takes a modicum of brainpower to figure out what's b.s. and what's real. For instance, Christopher Nolan isn't even locked in for the 3rd film as of right now. There's no script. No plot. No plan. There's as much chance of us seeing Booster Gold in the next Batman film as we are of Catwoman at this stage.
But if you're really that anxious for more Megan Fox, rather than spreading rumors about her next role, why not just sign in to Xbox Live and play video games with her? I'm sure that's really her playing and not just some very fat very male gopher who works for her.
