The Batman is set to hit theatres in just over two weeks, and Matt Reeves' reboot will introduce new takes on several of The Dark Knight's classic villains. Selina Kyle will be among them, and the burgeoning Catwoman's dynamic with Gotham's Caped Crusader is expected to be a primary focus of the movie.
Fans have already picked up on the chemistry shared by Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz in the trailers, and the stars have now got together for an intimate photoshoot with EW that's set pulses racing online.
"They have quite a strong connection pretty quickly, and I think they're both trying to ignore that," Kravitz explains. "They're both very surprised by feeling a connection with somebody because that's quite rare for them. It puts both of us out of our comfort zone."
"Bruce created Batman in this very binary world-view where he [believes] there are bad guys and there are victims," adds Pattinson. "Selina comes along, and he's like, 'Well, you're a thief. You're basically the same as the Penguin,' and yet… there's something in her I recognize. It's going up against his snap judgment."
Of course, these characters have a long and complex history in the comics, so it'll be interesting to see how their dynamic evolves if that planned trilogy we've been hearing about becomes a reality.
