Zoë Kravitz on playing Selina Kyle in The Batman: I was really excited to explore her backstory
confesses that she was delighted to portray Selina Kyle in and learn more about her past rather than jumping immediately into Catwoman. Kravitz is the sixth actress to play Catwoman on film, following Lee Meriwether in the Adam West-led Batman picture, Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992's Batman Returns, Halle Berry in a standalone feature for the character, and Anne Hathaway in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. The Batman is a remake of the character's film series that switches the focus to Bruce Wayne's second year of combating crime as he explores a complicated network of corruption in Gotham City with links to his family and seeks for The Riddler, a cryptic serial murderer.
