It seems Ben Affleck's Live By Night co-star Sienna Miller wanted in on Affleck's upcoming Batman film but apparently received word back from Affleck that Selina Kyle is not in his script.

Sienna Miller told me tonight that she wants to play Catwoman in Affleck's Batman movie. "She's not in the script but I wanna write her in!"

Previously, actress Teresa Palmer, who was set to play Talia Al Ghul in George Miller's defunct Justice League Mortal film, expressed an interest in playing Talia in the DCEU but there are reportedly no plans to introduce her either (or her father Ra's) in Affleck's Batman movie.

Admittedly, not much is known about Affleck's plans for his standalone Batman film other than the fact that it will feature Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. It is tentatively titled The Batman and is expected to begin filming Spring/Summer 2017.

Good. It's time to see some new characters that haven't been in a live action movie imo. Also hope that Leto's Joker isn't in it.

@HubbleFunk - Oh yeah

@HubbleFunk - I love her as the Baroness. SO HOT.

Good news it would be great to see a Robin or Nightwing and new characters. And Anna Kendrick as Stephanie Brown or Batgirl. Can't wait for The Batman. And I hope the studio give Ben plenty of time on the script. Ben was an awesome Batman. I hope its the best Batman movie since the Dark Knight. And similar to Deadpool 1 with Ryan

@Jayman - I really don't understand all the hype surrounding Anna Kendrick. Why are people fan-placing her in like every role?

Spider2YBanana - 11/19/2016, 7:58 AM

Good.
