The Batman’s Zoë Kravitz Explains Why Catwoman Will Be ‘Very Fun’ In The Sequel

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Zoë Kravitz’s portrayal of Catwoman in The Batman was nothing short of phenomenal. Her transformation from an aspiring thief to a formidable ally (or foe) for the Caped Crusader was captivating and left me eagerly anticipating the sequel.

Initially, Zoë Kravitz made her mark in Gotham City by voicing Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the animated film, The LEGO Batman Movie. Subsequently, her athletic abilities were showcased as she portrayed Catwoman in the live-action movie, The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves. If Kravitz felt that filming the first movie was “incredible”, the director of the upcoming film, Blink Twice, predicts that her antihero character will be “very enjoyable” in the sequel to The Batman.

The blockbuster hit “The Batman” topped the box office and became one of the most profitable movies of 2022, making it almost certain that Warner Bros. Pictures would approve a follow-up film. With fans and celebrities alike thrilled about Zoë Kravitz portraying Catwoman, the actress from “High Fidelity” expresses her anticipation for reprising this DC character in the sequel as being “very enjoyable”.

In the movie, Selina’s character is introduced as an origin story, suggesting there are many aspects yet to be discovered. It portrays a woman finding her strength and curiosity about what it means to wield that power playfully. Here’s hoping it turns out to be an entertaining journey!

In “The Batman,” Catwoman is portrayed differently than in other adaptations, demonstrating her gradual mastery of her abilities alongside her emotional vulnerability. Unlike Halle Berry’s Catwoman, who gained supernatural powers following resurrection, Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman derives her skills from her innate strength, strategy, and use of top-notch tools. Now that Selina Kyle is fully embracing her power without hiding her past as a crime boss’ daughter, it promises to be thrilling to see where this journey leads in the upcoming sequel.

In the finale of The Batman, we witness Catwoman departing from Batman as a string of explosions crumble the seawall, thereby leaving the DC vigilante to carry on his rescue operations for Gotham City citizens single-handedly. Her decision to walk away from Batman aligns well with her character, given she’s an astute thief who refuses to tolerate injustice. However, Catwoman is not a hero herself, which adds layers of complexity to her relationship with Batman.

Batman strongly advocates for battling wrongdoing while maintaining integrity, whereas Catwoman’s moral compass leans more towards gray areas. With a potential romantic connection blossoming between these DC characters, it’ll be interesting to see if Batman can forgive Catwoman and join forces or if they’ll find themselves at odds throughout the movie.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that, according to Andy Serkis himself, it seems highly likely that the cameras will roll for The Batman Part II in early 2025! Zoë Kravitz is set to reprise her captivating role, and Robert Pattinson will once again don the cape as our beloved Dark Knight. Moreover, Colin Farrell is poised to transform into an almost unrecognizable version of The Penguin. I, for one, am eagerly hoping that we’ll see Bruce Wayne stepping out of his solitary shell a bit more and embracing a Golden Boy persona. Fingers crossed for some heartwarming, triumphant moments for our DC hero – he truly deserves a break!

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m psyched about revisiting Gotham City with Zoë Kravitz as the captivating Catwoman in The Batman Part II, slated for release on October 2, 2026. In the meantime, you can catch up on her backstory and learn how she became the sly cat burglar by streaming her origin story on your Max subscription. I’m optimistic that her character will be even more enthralling this time around!
