Zoe Kravitz is earning rave reviews for her performance as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Matt Reeves' The Batman, but the role was not the actor's first attempt to break into the Caped Crusader universe on the big screen.

Kravitz recently told The Observer that her attempt to audition for a role in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises was rejected after she was told she was too "urban" for the part.
