Zoe Kravitz has been picked to play Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in director Matt Reeves\u2019s upcoming The Batman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The trades broke the news this afternoon, with reportage indicating the Big Little Lies<\/em> star\u2019s deal for the film has already been sealed. Kravitz previously voiced Catwoman in 2017\u2019s The Lego Batman Movie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kravitz will be appearing opposite Robert Pattinson, who will be playing Bruce Wayne, the orphaned millionaire who grows up to be the scourge of Gotham City\u2019s criminal element by becoming the masked vigilante Batman. The actress reportedly beat out contenders Ana de Armas, Ella Balinska and Eiza Gonzalez for the role. All four had screentested against Pattison earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Also in the cast is Jeffrey Wright as Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon and Jonah Hill in an unnamed \u2013 though mostly the Riddler \u2013 villain role.<\/p>\n

Kravitz joins a long line of actresses who have played the slinky, femme fatale villainess in live action versions of the Batman comics. Michelle Pfieffer appeared as Catwoman in Tim Burton\u2019s 1992 Batman Returns<\/strong> while Halle Berry took on the role for a 2004 solo film outing that did not do well with critics and audiences alike. Anne Hathaway took on the role for director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises<\/strong> in 2012.<\/p>\n

On television, Julie Newmar first played Catwoman on the first two seasons of the campy 1960s Batman<\/em> series, followed by Lee Meriwether who played the part in the spinoff film before Eartha Kitt came in to play Catwoman for the show\u2019s last season. More recently, Camren Bicondova played Selena Kyle in the series Gotham<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
