Marion Cotillard Joining Batman 3?

According to the some what unscrupulous site Perez Hilton, Marion Cotillard has been offered a role in Batman 3. Apparently his sources are unsure of whether the role was Catwoman or Talia Al Ghul, regardless she reportedly turned down the offer as of now as she’s unsure whether the planned shooting start date of the next Batman movie will clash with other projects she’s either interested in or already committed to, despite the fact that she’s reportedly keen to work with Nolan again.

I wouldn't jump up and down for joy just yet, but I think there could be "some" validity to the rumour. On the other hand though, it's a very obvious rumour that just about any internet troll could have conjured up themselves. For now I would take this with a grain of salt, but still consider that it could be true.

The third and final installment in the Nolan Batman franchise starts filming next spring for July 2012 release date.
