And yeah, they did show her being ninja-in-training at times, but they had a lot of fun playing with the general disconnect between her appearance (and, often, personality) and her capabilities.

But not for this character.
As far as the comment below about the casting always being awful, I'd disagree. The casting has been pretty OK (with the exception of Harry Osborn), the writing has been abyssmal. (EDIT: In fact, I liked Maguire at first, but as the series went on, he really seemed like the biggest mistake of all - and I think this IS because of the writing more than him.)
To be perfectly honest, I think that while Johansson does not really strike me as a good Black Widow at all, I really think she actually would have been quite excellent as the Black Cat.

...or I just pulled a random name out of this old hat. Oh look! Emma Stone, Zooey Deschanel, and Dakota Fanning were in here too! Old hat, you're so full of lies.

Bullwinkle: "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a Black Cat Rumor out of my hat!"
Rocky: "Again?"
Bullwinkle: "RIP Nothing up my sleeve."
Kirk: "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Bullwinkle: "Must have the wrong hat."

In a daring creative move Black Cat will be played by Jackie Earle Haley.

I've been told that the producers of Spiderman 4 approached Clay Aiken to provide a new "twist" on the whole Spiderman series.

Both versions of Dune have a problem in that they were faithful to the books to the extent of using Herbert's dialogue and duplicating the weaknesses of the stories as well as the strengths.
Pink Floyd, by the way, was supposed to have recorded music for Jodorowsky's Dune. #dune

I actually enjoyed both Lynch's and SciFi's take, fwiw. #dune

Another way to go would be to get a director whose known for political thrillers... because, really, at its heart, Dune is just a political movie in a sci-fi setting. #dune

That said, I hope I'm completely wrong. I'd like nothing more than for a faithful version of the story to receive wide acceptance. #dune
