Batman's Beauties - The gorgeous women of the caped crusader series

In honor of The Dark Knight, this summer's big blockbuster, we thought we'd take a look at some of the beautiful women who've been involved with the caped crusader over the years.
Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight. Katie Holmes (shown at right) had the role in the 2005 movie, Batman Begins. The character appears exclusively in the movies, and is not based on a comic-book character.
Before director Chris Nolan rebooted the series with The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, Joel Schumacher directed Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997).


Alicia Silverstone introduced Batgirl in Batman & Robin. She dates back to the early 90s when she burst onto the scene in Aerosmith's videos for Cryin' and Amazing. She's also known for PETA's first-ever naked veggie testimonial ad.
Uma Thurman is also in it as Poison Ivy.
In Batman Forever the series introduced Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore and Debi Mazar.



Before all that, there was the Batman series of movies directed by Tim Burton. In Batman Returns (1992), Michelle Pfeiffer took on the role of Catwoman. Also worth noting, Halle Berry starred as Catwoman in a movie of the same name in 2004.
