Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman


Mary Jane from Spiderman was not enough.

Burn hollywood. burn !

The girl who plays Mary Jane is ugly, and is terrible casting.

However, there was a black Catwoman in the 60s and she was the rather ugly Eartha Kit. So, it's not new SJW crap, however, Catwoman is not black and is a love interest of Batman, so there has to be chemistry. That is frequently hard to sell with this combo.

Bite your tongue; Eartha Kitt ruled!

I didn't like her as a kid and thought her face was kinda shockingly ugly, and I didn't generally find black people ugly.

Whatever the case, there are PLENTY of pretty black women who are likely athletic and that's needed for Catwoman. Like I've said, if they're going to have a White man and a black woman, you need a beautiful and dynamic actress. Batman would not fall in love with a criminal unless she was awesome.

Kravitz would be a good Catwoman.

Lenny? Yes

Ah not a bad choice at all, I thought she was good in Big Little Lies. She looks SO MUCH like her mother, very beautiful and exotic.

Still not sure if I'll see this at the cinema, I'll wait for the trailer before I decide for sure. Suffering a little bit of Bat-fatigue here, to be honest.

NAIL ONTHE HEAD...I LIKE THE CAST BUT....BAT FATIGUE...WE SHALL SEE.

I agree with Bat-fatigue but here is why I am optimistic.

The director is solid. His work on the apes movies was great as well as his underrated remake Let me in.

No connected universe. I am being honest I enjoyed the Avengers, as well as Infinity War and Endgame. Honestly though I am tired of team up films. Marvel did that therefore I like more self contained personal stories. I am fine with a bat family, Robin, Batgirl etc but as far as other universes crossing into it no thanks I will pass. Justice League tried and yeah...

I am happy Catwoman is going to be in this from the start. What sucked about the other series we only ever got Catwoman one time. I liked both Michelle and Anne but we only got them one time in the series. Catwoman should be recurring, that gives a chance to flesh out a more dynamic and deep relationship between her and Bruce.

I'm not at all familiar with Zoë Kravitz and I know more about her talented parents than her, but with the inclusion of Carmine Falcone, I wonder if they’ll have Selina Kyle as his illegitimate daughter as told in Batman: The Long Halloween and Catwoman: When in Rome, I doubt it, but it would add gravitas to the story and the inclusion of them both is intriguing.

I think she is a good actor and will do a fine job. What do you have against her?
