A representative for Warner Brothers said all the talk about Cher slipping on the leather onesie is just a big fat rumor. Sorry guys, it looks like you'll have to find another gorgeous gay icon to play Catwoman. What's Kylie Minogue up to? She'd be hot. [Showbizspy]

How could it possibly go wrong? Click through more details on Cher's Bat-casting, and exactly how the Moonstruck star would approach the role.

According to the Telegraph:

A studio executive said: "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.

The article also claims Johnny Depp is definitely playing the Riddler.

It sounds delightful, why not? Cher's a good actress. I can see Cher as a "slightly" older, more "Memory" from Cats-ish version of Catwoman, but it would still be hot just to hear her crazy vibrato meow. But let's not stop there — while we're at it, why not Kylie Minogue as an (older) Batgirl, and Liza Minelli for the Penguin?

At least she still has the right wardrobe for the part:
