Angelina Jolie tipped as next Batman baddie Catwoman

Angelina Jolie is being tipped as Hollywood's next Catwoman.

Brad Pitt's partner may only just have given birth, but she's going to have start shedding that baby weight soon if she wants to fit into the black latex bodysuit made famous by Michelle Pfeiffer (and, later, something of a joke thanks to Halle Berry's badly received Catwoman movie).

Still, with The Dark Knight still at the top of the box office both in the States and UK, Jolie is being heralded as the perfect Batman villain - by the very first Catwoman, no less.

Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the Batman TV series back in the Sixties, says Ange would be perfect for the role.

'Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me she has already made enquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love,' Julie said.

'She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess.'
