New Catwoman Zoe Kravitz, who will play the role in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” got the seal of approval Thursday from “Catwoman” star Halle Berry.
“Special shout-out to your new #CatWoman, the eternally graceful & extremely bad ass @ZoeKravitz. Keep shining Queen & welcome to the family!” Berry tweeted Thursday afternoon.
Berry played Catwoman in the 2004 film, which drew loosely from Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns.” Differing sharply from the comics, the film focused on a woman named Patience who is murdered, then brought back to life and given supernatural cat-like powers.
The story of “The Batman” is still under wraps, as are details about Kravitz’s take on the character.
