Cher to Play Catwoman in Next Batman Flick?

Oh no no no nonononononono...

Cher 'to play Catwoman' in next Batman film from the London Telegraph via Dirty Harry

Are they serious? Is there any part of this article that is legit? No one is buying it in the comments at Dirty Harry's Place, and I can't imagine how they could make this work, at all. Also mentioned in the article is Johnny Depp as the Riddler. Now, I enjoy Johnny Depp as much as the next person (maybe a little less), he never fails to make things interesting (well, except for The Ninth Gate and The Secret Window), but he doesn't seem to fit what Nolan and Co. have got going on at all. He tends to be a little too over the top, a little too campy (which would fit quite nicely with Cher...) but would seem to be all wrong for this franchise. Now, at Wikipedia, there's apparently a rumor that David Tennant is interested in playing the Riddler. That, I could get behind...
