Katie Holmes' character - typecasting?


Does anyone notice anything about this character?

She’s smart, studious, comes from a disadvantaged background but makes it to an ivy league school, guys are mysteriously drawn to her, she has major Daddy issues...damn, people.

She's Joey Potter.

Well, except for one small fact (spoiler ahead)








She's a psychopath who has serious emotional issues and when she feels rejected by men, she lashes out and kills them. 2 down (at least) and it looks like #3 is on the way.

You are so right. I rolled my eyes when she turned out to be the virgin because it's so Katie Holmes. It's the exact same character in Teaching Mrs. Tingle as well.

Yep even in Batman the Dark Knight she plays a D.A hahaha. She will always be the studious underdog --- Joey Potter as a crazy killer, Joey Potter in Batman, Joey Potter lives on to do a lot of other things than be an edior in NY.
