Miley Cyrus “Batgirl” “The Dark Knight” Sequel
Get ready for Miley Cyrus, Serious Actress. Miley Cyrus is ready to leave her Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart alter ego in the dust and begin tackling more challenging roles — beginning with a part in the upcoming sequel to The Dark Knight.
America’s Most Famous Teenager is determined to play Batgirl in the follow-up to the Summer 2008 blockbuster, according to The Globe’s Loosch Lips Column.
Lordy, have we learned nothing from Alicia Silverstone’s disastrous performance as Batgirl in Batman & Robin? (Love Alicia Silverstone, but she just didn’t work for me as Batgirl.)
Spywitnesses say Miley “stunned” producers at Warner Brothers when she showed up at the Hollywood studio in full batsuit to pitch the idea of playing a crime-fighting sidekick to Christian Bale’s Caped Crusader.
“She was sort of hopping around the room and had even written some dialogue for herself,” says an insider. “The problem is, some people aren’t really convinced Miley has the acting chops to pull it of.”

Alicia Silverstone's performance was the best aspect of that movie.

I just didn't like her in that movie, Eric. In her defense though, I haven't seen it since my early teens, so maybe I need to revisit it.

Why all the Miley Cyrus hate? She is very talented and if this is true I'd go to that movie. Seems like rag mags make stuff about this girl, easy target. You, Nat Enq and Intouchweekly all have different stories about Miley in a bad light. Geesh, guess it is easy to pick on a 16 year old. You gotta sell your mag on Miley's back. Love Miley!!

I would love to see Miley be in the Dark Knight. She is my favorite actress and to see her do something other than Hannah Montana would be great. I'm looking forward to see if she gets the part. I am also looking forward to seeing her in 'The Last Song'.

I get her wanting to do other things-but this?! NO! It's not about acting chops-it's the fact that she's Miley Cyrus. A lot of people whom I know went to see The Dark Knight-people who are die hard fans-DO NOT like Miley Cyrus. If Warner Bros. does this, I hope they realize they will lose a lot of viewers.

I think it would be good to see her do something other than Hannah Montanna shows. I would like to see if she does have any talent and this would be a good part for her to re-invent herself with. Oh and by the way, there are a lot of jealous people leaving crude comments about Miley. I would assume that puberty wasn't kind to these people. You have to give people a chance to prove themselves. By your negative comments it seems that you haven't given yourself a chance at very much yet.. Live and let live.

I have some reasons why Miley playing Batgirl makes me nervous, but let me take a moment to defend my fellow Tennessee girl. First, Miley's sixteen. Would any of you want your entire life to be judged on who you were at sixteen? Give her time to grow and learn; she's already got innate singing talent, and she's not a bad actress either. I think that she's already one of the better teen stars in terms of acting ability, and experience will make her better.
Now, my concern is that if the next Batman movie has Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, well, Barbara is a small, slightly built redhead. I would fervently hope that the character in the movie would follow the same look. If Miley wants to put on a red wig, well, she's already proved she can perform an entire rock concert wearing a wig. A movie should be easy. The height may be a bit more tricky since Miley is taller than Barbara Gordon, but if Hollywood can make Tom Cruise look tall, I suppose they could make it work for Miley.
As for those blindly criticizing her, well, I wasn't interested in your opinions before and I'm certainly not dignifying them with a debate now. Grow up.

Okay, so do you all think that Batgirl in the next Batman would work? Even if isn't wasn't Miley, having Batgirl/or even Robin wouldn't work AT ALL in this Batman series. Chris Nolan said that as long as he's working on this series, there will be no Robin (Which would also mean no other sidekicks) and Christian Bale said he would quit if Robin (or any other sidekick) came into the picture.
I mean, honestly. Imagine Batman trying to save Gotham with fucking Miley Cyrus at his side.

Sure, she wants to break free from her Disney Channel phase, but DO NOT mess with something that has such a die hard fan base! She needs to do other dramatic roles like maybe some tear-jerker drama or something, not mess with what could be a phenomenal comic book movie.

But please, please let this never ever happen, even in a parallel universe, on a planet where the oceans burst into flames at noon.

Fuck Miley Cyrus' stupidass.
I can't get away from her, she's EVERYWHERE.
If she ever somehow managed to get the part [though a roll of Batgirl hasn't been confirmed, let alone ANOTHER Batman movie], I will kill something.
She can't ruin Batman for me. Hell no.
I will personally go set her on fire.

Hah. Batgirl? Chris Nolan is not even planning to put Robin in the next movie (which will be the final instalment) because Bale once said that he will not be part of the movie if there is a Robin. Besides Miley will kill the movie.
