The Batman Features Some Choice Dialogue Written by Catwoman

One of probably the most memorable exchanges within the trailer for The Batman wasn’t penned by co-writer and director Matt Reeves. It was written by Zoe Kravitz, as a result of she simply knew her character that properly.

The Batman opens March 4. The film sees the Caped Crusader (Robert Pattinson) type an uneasy alliance with Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle (Kravitz), to assist resolve an internet of crimes being dedicated by the Riddler (Paul Dano). At one level, that alliance sees Batman going again to Selina’s residence the place he makes the astute remark “You’ve got a lot of cats,” to which she replies “I have a thing about strays.” “Strays,” on this occasion, refers not simply to cats however, possibly, that man who’s so misplaced and alone he attire up as a Bat each evening to combat crime. Here it’s.

“The character is so well-developed in the script, and I was really excited to explore her backstory and where she comes from and the process that she goes through in terms of kind of becoming closer to what will be Catwoman,” Kravitz mentioned at a current press occasion. “It was really lovely to be able to play Selina and not have to jump straight to Catwoman. I think with these iconic characters that we all love so much, it can be overwhelming in terms of, ‘OK, now here’s Catwoman,’ and I have this wonderful opportunity to kind of slowly develop her and the audience gets to come on that journey with me.”

It’s in that deep exploration of Selina Kyle earlier than Catwoman that the above trade got here to be.

“Certain things that are some of my favorite moments of lines in the movie, they’re yours,” co-writer/director Matt Reeves mentioned to Kravitz on the occasion. “We talked a lot about the cats and we’re talking about this notion of the background that she comes from and what her life was, in essence, because she was essentially an orphan as well. That she was a stray and she was collecting cats because now she’s decided to protect strays. And so that whole conversation led to this whole idea … This is literally how this happened. I said, ‘That is so great.’ She goes ‘So I could say that, right? Something about like, you know, ‘I have a thing about strays’ and I said ‘Yeah, but how do we set that up?’ She goes ‘Oh, that’s easy. He can just say, ‘You got a lot of cats.’ I thought that is great.’”

And so it didn’t simply make it into the film, it made it into the newest trailer. Also, you wouldn’t be fallacious in assuming that an exploration of Selina earlier than Catwoman does recommend might be extra of her down the highway. “What we’re really trying to do is to launch this world and if the world embraces this we have a lot of good ideas and for sure we want Selena to continue,” Reeves mentioned.
