New details about TheBatman reveal Bruce Wayne first meets Selina Kyle while she's working as a waitress at the Penguin's nightclub, the Iceberg Lounge.
The details of how Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne finally meets Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman in DC's upcoming standalone film The Batman have been revealed. Unrelated to the ongoing DC Extended Universe franchise, this latest reboot sees the Caped Crusader during his second year of defending the citizens of Gotham City and facing off against a new enemy, the intellectual terrorist known simply as the Riddler, who is targeting Gotham's elite population.
Along with Pattinson and Kravitz, The Batman boasts an impressive line-up of stars appearing as friends and foes of the cowl-wearing vigilante. With Paul Dano as the Riddler, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, it looks like the Dark Knight will have his hands full in dealing with the scum of Gotham City.
This reveal of the pair's first meeting is certainly reminiscent of other first encounters between the Bat and the Cat in previous Batman movies. Bruce Wayne encountering Selina Kyle working as a waitress was also Christopher Nolan's choice for their initial introduction in The Dark Knight Rises, although it was swiftly revealed that Selina had merely adopted the guise of a Wayne Manor servant in order to purloin Bruce's fingerprints as well as his mother's pearl necklace.
Given these similarities, it may well be that Reeves is paying a subtle homage to the Batman films that have gone before him by having his titular vigilante and Catwoman first meet in this way. It certainly reveals even more detail regarding Selina Kyle's backstory and paves the way for further speculation as to how she will head down the path into becoming the feline-obsessed anti-heroine, as well as how her relationship with Batman will develop throughout out the film.
