Is the new Batman love interest to be Isla Fisher?
Just to refresh your memory that’s Fisher from such classics as the Australian soap Home and Away and Paradise Beach. Okay, she’s been in a few things since then, most notably I Heart Huckabees and soon to be seen Wedding Crashers, but having seen neither of these films I can’t pass comment on her true acting ability. I have seen the trailer for Crashers though, and she does look like she might have a funny role. Wait, I forgot, she was in Scooby-Doo…ahem.
Anyway, from Batman on Film through Cinematical:
Batman-on-Film (http://www.batman-on-film.com) is reporting that Australian actress Isla Fisher, who was seen in Warner Bros.’ “Scooby Doo 2,” is being courted by the studio again to be Bruce Wayne’s love interest in the “Batman Begins” sequel.
It is expected that while Katie Holmes is signed for the sequel, her character will not return for the position of District Attorney of Gotham City will open a door for the character of Harvey Dent.
Yep, speculation and rumour, but is this a good move? I’m not so sure, it depends if you think Fisher broke her acting mould on the above movies and that she can turn away from the character that a lot of people would see in her from her soap days. What do you think? Has she managed that, and if we have to have a Batman love interest, is she better than Katie Holmes?
