THE BATMAN Star Zoe Kravitz On "Going Internal" To Play Catwoman & Training With Robert Pattinson

One of the most anticipated elements of Matt Reeves' The Batman is Zoe Kravitz's new take on Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and here the actress discusses her excitement - & trepidation - about accepting the role.

The Batman officially commenced production a couple of weeks ago, and while there have been (unconfirmed) reports of both Robert Pattinson and Colin Farrell being spotted filming scenes as Bruce Wayne and The Penguin, there's been no sign of Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle.

It sounds like the Big Little Lies actress is preparing to step in front of the camera as Catwoman fairly soon, though, because she revealed during an interview with Variety that she's been "training and rehearsing" will Pattinson for the past few weeks.

"I think [Robert] is perfect for the role and it’s going to be such an adventure," she added. "I’m excited to have him as my partner in crime and to be there to support each other, because it’s intense. It’s going to be a long shoot and there’s a lot of pressure, and I know he has my back and I have his."

Kravitz didn't share any new details about her take on The Dark Knight's feline foe, but she did touch on how excited she was when she first accepted the role, and how that elation turned to slight trepidation once she realized how "dedicated and opinionated" the fans were.

"If you start focusing too much on what people are going to think you’re doing yourself a disservice, it’s almost like you’re putting your energy in the wrong place. Of course, I want to honor the fans and hope they like what I do with the role, but in order to do what I think I need to do with Catwoman I have to go internal and forget about the rest of the world."

The Batman is set to hit theaters on June 25, 2021, and will also star Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and more.

@WakandaTech - Matt Reeves stated that we won’t see a trailer for The Batman until CCXP in December. Hopefully they do bring something to SDCC because I don’t want to wait that long.

FleischerSupes - 2/13/2020, 12:41 PM

@WakandaTech - Think we'll see a Battinson in full costume before then? I hope so.

BritishMonkey - 2/13/2020, 11:34 AM

She'll do fine honestly and she's getting the right mentality for it.

Hey, remember when she covered Alice in Chains?

MyCoolYoung - 2/13/2020, 12:06 PM

@BritishMonkey - I know I'm in the minority but I felt like this show was terrible but I could not stop watching it. A guilty pleasure for me indeed

BritishMonkey - 2/13/2020, 12:16 PM

@MyCoolYoung - I thought it was [frick]ing gold. Even had Brian Posehn in an episode.

MyCoolYoung - 2/13/2020, 12:21 PM

@BritishMonkey - I just never thought the storylines were good but the characters interactions were great. It had so many cameos which was pretty cool too. The constant sex didn't hurt neither lol

BritishMonkey - 2/13/2020, 12:31 PM

@MyCoolYoung - I feel like it was definitely much more character driven after maybe the second season or so.

@WAKANDABATMANFOREVER - damn that's Catwoman... perfect casting imo

GhostDog - 2/13/2020, 11:38 AM

She reminds me of Brubaker's Selina. I could see her doing a take like that.

FleischerSupes - 2/13/2020, 11:38 AM

Which meeting will we get?

WakandanQueen - 2/13/2020, 11:40 AM

NinnesMBC - 2/13/2020, 11:43 AM

I think she'll do fine as Catwoman and there is always chemistry between the actors playing Selina and Bruce.

I wonder if she'll have her kitty from the animated series and some other comics.

L0RDbuckethead - 2/13/2020, 11:46 AM

She was a great choice, IMO. Can't wait to see what she does with the role.

MovieMonster - 2/13/2020, 11:49 AM

I’m just hoping we see hers and Pattinson’s costumes in the next few weeks.

ANewPope - 2/13/2020, 11:52 AM

Bruh, I swear in some angles she looks like Emilia Clarke

CurlyBill - 2/13/2020, 11:53 AM

I just wanted to say after years of wanting to see it Netflix finally added Good Time. I was already on board with Pattinson for Batman, but know I'm fully pumped to see his interpretation of Batman. Damn that movie was good!!

GhostDog - 2/13/2020, 12:11 PM

@CurlyBill - one of my favorite performances of the decade.

DeadClunge - 2/13/2020, 11:54 AM

She has excellent cheek bone structure 🤩😍
