Zoe Kravitz plays Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in the new movie The Batman and she's opening up about the sexuality of her character.

This post will contain some slight spoilers for the movie, which hits theaters on March 4. Stop reading now if you don't want to know anything about the film before seeing it!



In the movie, directed by Matt Reeves, Selina goes into her apartment at one point and calls out "baby" while looking for her friend Anika. People who have seen the movie reported that it felt their relationship is more than just friends.

So, is Selina bisexual?

“That’s definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship,” Zoesaid in an interview with Pedestrian.tv.

The reporter expressed excitement over Catwoman being bisexual in this cinematic universe and Zoe replied, "I agree!"

Matt also opened up about the character's sexuality.

“[The film is] very true to the character of Selina Kyle. She’s not yet Catwoman, but all the elements of how she’s going to become Catwoman are there,” Matt said. “And in terms of her relationship with Anika, I spoke to Zoë very early on and one of the things she said which I loved was that: ‘She’s drawn to strays because she was a stray and so she really wants to care for these strays because she doesn’t want to be that way anymore and Anika is like a stray and she loves her. She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore’.”

He added, “So I don’t think we meant to go directly in that way, but you can interpret it that way for sure. She has an intimacy with that character and it’s a tremendous and deep caring for that character, more so than a sexual thing, but there was meant to be quite an intimate relationship between them.”

Two special people in Zoe's life are heading to the premiere of The Batman.

oh wow a character is gay in a movie in Current Year. color me surprised, and excited, to see yet another focus group produced piece of corporate merch for adult babies, that genre of movie we see so rarely anymore

 

[Shig O'nella]

Don't care if she's straight, bi, or so lesbo she can't go to Chinatown without being triggered by all the Dongs there ... IS CATWOMAN SENSUAL THIS TIME!

Not sexy, sensual.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

So, you're saying that a woman who's sexy and flirty -as Catwoman is meant to be- does so because she wants to fuck anyone?

I think someone's not understanding the "cat" part of the character.

You know what? Fuck this shit. We have Michelle Pfeiffer.

RIP to our femme fatales, lost but not forgotten.

 

[Red Hood]

Careful you don't get cucked there, Bruce.

I won't drink Gotham water anymore. It's turning everyone gay.

But for real this article is more of one of those wishy washy "suuuuure, you can interpret it like that" which isn't really a confirmation of anything.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Literally this actress just six months ago.

Now Catwoman here is bi but not really because it was never shown onscreen she's actually bi?

Tell me you're an attention whore without telling me you're an attention whore.

I liked it better when Catwoman just wanted to be plowed by batdick.

RIP to our femme fatales, lost but not forgotten.

Soon they'll go the path of tomboys and just troon out.

So it's not word of God it's word of Zoe Kravitz? Doesn't matter. She said it so it's now cannon.

Zoe, baby, You're only famous because your parents are famous.

 

[Standardized Profile]

In Year One and Her Sister's Keeper, Selina lived with a young prostitute loosely based on Jodie Foster's Taxi Driver character. Their relationship was sisterly and innocent, as innocent as a pair of hookers hiding out from their former pimp can be. In the end Selina sent the girl to live in a Catholic orphanage rather than drag her deeper into the criminal lifestyle. It was an unambiguously good gesture that established the heart of gold within this thief.

I guess Anika is an older version of that character, but "taking in strays" and having sex with them doesn't feel unambiguously good.

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

It's sad that a character "coming out" is just part of the marketing push for garbage-tier big-budget movies now.

 

[SuperShibuyaFighter]

Wtf is even Batman anymore? I swear is every female villain in Batman just a dyke now?

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were already ruined why does Catwoman have to be now too?

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Cool now I know its hot garbage and they have to rely on "OMG FAGGOTS!" to make their money back.

 

[Character from a movie]

Oh, wow! Another bisexual sexy female character! How original! And of color, too! I've never seen one of those before!

How ironic, now Catwoman is fetishized and stereotyped for another reason, lol

 

[stuffandthings]

Wasn't Catwoman already Bi? Or am I remembering Batman: Hush wrong.

Having an attractive female character be bi is lazy af. You're basically hiding popular male fantasy behind a magic rainbow shield. There's no real loss or risk except from the few moral outrage crusaders who won't consume already, or from people who see through the ruse and are sick of it.

She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore’.”

This part kinda makes it sound like she's a predator specifically seeking out broken vulnerable girls that no one cares about.

 

[Grand Wizard Wakka]

They made catwoman black cause she steals stuff?

 

[blablabla]

It's every female character in the batverse a dyke now?

 

[breadandcircuses]

The only thing I remember is how angry Zoe is when Robert spilled his spaghetti over Final Fantasy VII. She took great offense at the two main female leads being the motherly healer and the punch girl.

‘Batman’ is about to get a whole lot more queer

Attention to all moviegoers who take their men in tights and their women feline: you have one more reason to check out The Batman this weekend.

The new movie, which opens Friday, features Robert Pattinson taking on the role of the Caped Crusader, opposite the nefarious serial killer The Riddler (Paul Dano). Now, in an exciting reveal, the film’s leading lady Zoe Kravitz has said her character is bisexual.

Kravitz dons the leather catsuit of Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the film, following in the pawprints of such actresses as Michelle Pfeiffer, Anne Hathaway, and Eartha Kitt. In a new interview with Pedestrian.tv, she further revealed that her relationship with her friend Anika goes far beyond the platonic.

“That’s definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship,” Kravitz said.

Director Matt Reeves also echoed Kravitz’s sentiment.

“[The Batman is] very true to the character of Selina Kyle,” he explained. “She’s not yet Catwoman, but all the elements of how she’s going to become Catwoman are there. And in terms of her relationship with Anika, I spoke to Zoe very early on and one of the things she said which I loved was that, ‘She’s drawn to strays because she was a stray and so she really wants to care for these strays because she doesn’t want to be that way anymore and Anika is like a stray and she loves her. She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore.’”

Reeves and Kravitz’s interpretation of the character also fits with previous depictions of Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the comics.

In Batman: Year One, writer Frank Miller’s retelling of Batman’s origins, Selina Kyle is introduced as a prostitute in an implied lesbian relationship with her friend, Holly Robinson. The Batman uses elements of both Year One and its sequel, Batman: Year Two, as the basis for its plot.

Now then, when can we get some gay Batman action?
