The character of Batman has had multiple castings, ranging from Michael Keaton to Robert Pattinson. Ben Affleck’s version of the caped crusader was an entirely new outlook to the character because he had not only felt the loss of his parents, but also his robin. His moral affiliation was close to being broken as Bruce Wayne had seen through the darkness of life at his worse.

Fan theories are never something the media can run out of, and with fan theories also come fan castings. These fan castings can range from never really being worked upon, such as the fan casting of The Marauders from the Harry Potter series having actors such as Ben Barnes, Andrew Garfield, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Jamie Bell. Then some castings sometimes do come true, such as John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic. Much like so, fans have once again struck with their idea of who could play the perfect Catwoman for Affleck’s Batman.

After Twitter saw this newly spawned idea of Carla Gugino being Catwoman in upcoming movies that might include Ben Affleck; they seemed to have struck gold. An older version of Catwoman would be ideal for his Batman, and to think of Gugino as the feline anti-hero, the chemistry that the two might emit could break the internet.

This fan casting has only received only positive comments. While some state how his version of Batman might not require a Catwoman at all, others think that having a partner as cunning as her might be exactly what his broken character needs.

A lot of actresses played the role of Catwoman in the past both on the silver screen and the small screen and they did make a name for themselves because of it, Anne Hathaway did a great job as Catwoman and fans do remember her for that, in the case of Gugino she is a huge star as well, so taking the spot from Hathaway and well she portrays the extremely sly night stalker is going to be interesting.
