Catwoman actress Zoe Kravitz confirms Selina Kyle is bisexual in TheBatman:
✖ Warning: this story contains mild spoilers for The Batman, in theaters Thursday. Zoe Kravitz reveals her interpretation of Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is bisexual in The Batman. In the reboot from filmmaker Matt Reeves, the cat burglar who has a soft spot for strays at one point calls out"baby" about her female friend Anika. According to Kravitz and Reeves, there is a deep"intimate relationship" between Selina and Anika.
"That's definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship," Kravitz told Pedestrian.tv about Selina and Anika. Catwoman has been depicted as bisexual in the DC comic book canon. Reeves has named influential origin story Batman: Year One and early years tale Batman: The Long Halloween, both featuring Catwoman, as comic book inspirations behind The Batman.
"[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," Reeves told Pedestrian.
He continued,"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.
