Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel

Well, I hope Katie signs a strong pre-nup with Cruise so she's paid well enough when he dumps her in about 5-6 years for a younger model

Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel

Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes won't reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Bros is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie. A source tells Pagesix.Com, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Adding of Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom."

1. "the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress"

Hell, you could go to a local dinner theater and find a stronger actress than Katie Holmes.

Years down the road being the "former Mrs. Tom Cruise (v 3.0)" will still be the high career point on her resume.

2. I'm so glad she's not doing 'Factory Girl'

Though the idea of Holmes living in the bottom of a swimming pool has a certain appeal.

(FWIW - Edie Sedgewick, the 'Factory Girl' in question, did live in the bottom of an empty (of water), fully furnished swimming pool for a while)
