Zoë Kravitz shared how she prepared to play Catwoman in ‘The Batman’
Actor Zoë Kravitz plays Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, in the 2022 movie The Batman. The film came out in theaters on Mar. 4.
Kravitz had big shoes to fill, as several actors have taken on the role before her, including Anne Hathaway, Halle Berry, Eartha Kitt, and Michelle Pfeiffer. She discussed some of the ways she prepared for the part in an interview with Jimmy Fallon for The Tonight Show. Kravitz said that she was required to spend time with cats behind the scenes.
“They tried to get me to know the cats that were Selina’s cats,” said Kravitz. “And it’s funny, they would say, ‘Training at 1:30, and then rehearsal at this time, and then cat time,’ and I was like, ‘What’s cat time?’ And it was just putting me in a room with a bunch of cats, the cats that were going to be my cats.”
Kravits also said that she employed method acting by drinking milk out of a bowl, lapping it up just like a cat. “I did that,” she convinced a disbelieving Fallon. “I’m method, dude.”

Kravitz posted 10 images in one post, two of which depicted her lapping up milk. The first shot was a close-up of her face, partially obscured by the Catwoman mask, leaning over a bowl of milk. Her lips were slightly parted as she dipped her fingers into the milk, leaving a trail of liquid behind.
The ninth shot shows Kravitz on her hands and knees, kneeling over the bowl of milk, still in her Catwoman mask. Her tongue is sticking out, about to lap up the liquid like a feline.
