On 4 March, DC Comics fans will see Zoë Kravitz [1] step into the role of Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle, in "The Batman," [2] starring "Twilight [3]" alum Robert Pattinson [4]. Ahead of the film's release, Kravitz is opening up about her character's sexuality. A scene that shows Selina calling her friend Anika "baby" while looking for her in her apartment is causing many viewers to wonder, is Selina bisexual? "That's definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship," the 33-year-old star told Pedestrian.tv [5] in a recent interview.

"The Batman [6]" director Matt Reeves also weighed in on the sexuality of Kravitz's version of Catwoman. "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,'" he said. "'She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore.'"

Reeves concluded: "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."

On Feb. 28, Kravitz's stepdad, Jason Momoa [7], and rumoured boyfriend, Channing Tatum [8], boarded a last-minute flight [9] to support her at a screening of "The Batman." "CHEEEEHUUUUUUUU. SO EXCITED @channingtatum and I are on our way to see our ZOZO. finally @thebatman premiere," the "Aquaman" actor captioned his Instagram post [10]. "i'm so beyond proud of you @zoeisabellakravitz all my aloha to @adamweitsman and @daveophilly for making this happen at the last minute. mahalo @wbpictures for the invite. we are very grateful. ALOHA J and C"
