A new rumor is igniting talk that Angelina Jolie could portray the Batman villain in the eventual sequel to The Dark Knight.

According to The New York Post's gossip section, Page Six, the actress has been asking for advice on taking the role of Catwoman from an unlikely source: adult film star Tera Patrick.

Can you picture Angelina Jolie as Catwoman?

Already with the approval of Julie Newmar, who played the original feline villain in the 1960s Batman TV series, Jolie has been discussing the possible portrayal of the Catwoman Patrick, who is a huge fan of the role.

"They are friends and keep in touch via e-mail. She and Angie have a girl-talk thing going," said a source of the newspaper. "After seeing reports that she'll land the lead role, Jolie asked Patrick what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Jolie cracked, 'You should do it!'

Hmmm, Tara Patrick as Catwoman? That might be a step down from Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Manohla Dargis, a New York Times film critic who lambasted the Sex and the City movie, has nothing but good things to say about Angelina Jolie in the new action thriller Wanted.

"Ms. Jolie has been perfectly cast as a super-scary, seemingly amoral assassin named (wait for it) Fox," Manohla Dargis writes. "Few American actresses, especially those with such pin-skinny arms, can make beating a guy to the ground look so easy and, yeah, man, like fun."
