Who Could Play Catwoman in the New Batman Film?

The role of Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film has sparked considerable discussion among fans and industry experts.

Notable Acting Talents for the Role

Diverse acting talents have been considered for the role of Catwoman in various adaptations. Some notable options include:

Zoe Kravitz - Recently portrayed Catwoman in The Old Guard. Known for her versatility and strong acting skills, she could bring a unique and dynamic take to the character. Halle Berry - Played Catwoman in Batman Robin. Her powerful and commanding presence could add an assertive edge to the character. Anne Hathaway - Played Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Her performance showcased the character's wit and seductive allure. Emma Stone - Though less known for the role, her strong acting skills and physical prowess could make her an interesting choice. Janelle Monáe - Has shown impressive range in her acting and could offer a fresh perspective on the character. Florence Pugh - With her rising star power and acting chops, she could be an exciting choice for the role.

Other actresses like Alicia Vikander, Tessa Thompson, and Margot Robbie (who played Harley Quinn) could also bring interesting interpretations to the role.

Rebecca de Mornay's Early Thoughts

Some fans, particularly those with a nostalgic bent, feel that Rebecca de Mornay should be cast, considering her youthful energy and versatility. However, de Mornay is known for her versatility and could bring a unique dynamic to the role.

Personal Choice: Emilia Clarke and Camren Bicondova

Some personal choices for the role include Emilia Clarke, currently in the Game of Thrones universe, and Camren Bicondova, who did an excellent job portraying Selina in Gotham.

A Missed Opportunity in the Berlantiverse?

While the CoIE on The CW shows the interconnected multiverse, there seems to be a missed opportunity to integrate the Gotham characters into the continuity. Iain Glen, for example, is too old to play Batman, and the age gap with characters like Kate Kane and Dick Grayson could be an issue.

However, if the movie studio wanted to showcase the heroes in different phases of their journey, the Gotham world could have been a smooth transition to Batman Year One. The casting of Camren Bicondova as a young Selina Kyle in Gotham was particularly noteworthy, offering a believable and vibrant portrayal of the character.

Colorful castings and casting challenges

Colorful casting choices, influenced by the Worlds of DC name change, could open up a wide range of possibilities. For instance, Eartha Kitt and Halle Berry played the role in different decades, and the quality of the movie is often irrelevant to the casting decision. The 60s Batman show and Batman Robin film acknowledge that in-canon romantic tension between Batman and Catwoman.

For the new film, Zoe Kravitz, with a younger age dynamics to Christian Bale, could be an ideal choice. The ethnicity of the character is less of a concern, as the core of the role is the portrayal of strength and wit.

However, one must also consider the chemistry between Pattinson and the actress playing Catwoman. Although Pattinson's previous chemistry with his leading ladies was questionable, Zoe Kravitz, with her dynamic performances and strong acting skills, could be the perfect fit for the role.

Lastly, if given the choice based on current performances, Summer Bishil from The Magicians could bring a compelling and powerful dynamic to the role of Catwoman in the new film.
