Is Charlize Theron Poison Ivy?

Over at Film School Rejects, they're saying Charlize Theron is rumored to play Jim Gordon's love interest in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises.

Am I the only one that thinks that's a hideous waste of talent? Just Jim Gordon's love interest?

Even though this blog is like minutes old, I'm going to go out on a limb--a green, stretchy, possibly poison-y limb here--and say that Theron should/will possibly play Poison Ivy in Nolan's upcoming third installment in his Batman franchise.

Really, think about it. It would work, and be a decent compromise between not having the sexy and fun Harleyquin or Catwoman, while also staying in the boundary of a heavy-hitting Batman villain. Have you seen the 90s BTAs episodes? Poison Ivy more than holds her own against Gotham's caped crusader.

Plus, Poison Ivy could fit in with Nolan's vision of realism. She could be like a corporate rival to Bruce Wayne, with a company that specializes in medicinal plant research, or something similar. It fits into the whole enviro-save-the-planet-meme Hollywood has been working lately, while sticking with the scientific semi-realism Batman Begins used with Scarecrow's toxic fear gas.

Count me on board for Charlize Theron as Poison Ivy. Now we need a tough, macho presence to balance out all the estrogen. I'm thinking Bain as a mob hit man with muscles of steel and a team-up on ol' Bats with the help of Ivy.
