‘The Batman’ Script is Phenomenal According to Zoë Kravitz
By George Robbins
Recently there seems to just be an influx of good news for DC fans amidst the terrible atmosphere the world is currently experiencing. First, fans found out that there would, in fact, be a Zack Snyder director’s cut of the ‘Justice League’ movie coming out in 2021 to HBO Max. Then we found out more details from ‘Suicide Squad’ director David Ayer about what happened during the filming of his movie and why it ended up the way that it did. Most recently announced is the fact there DC is going to be having a convention entirely online called the DC FanDome which will be a 24 hour event taking place August 22. One of the talked about- but to a lesser extent- projects that is coming up is the movie ‘The Batman.’
Not much is actually known about the film other than who will be acting in the film and what the Batsuit will look like on the big screen. The titular hero is played by Robert Pattinson and the dark knight’s occasional antagonist/sidekick/love interest, Catwoman will be played by Zoë Kravitz. Also starring in the movie is Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jefferey Wright as Commissioner James Gordon, Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, and Peter Sarsgaard as District Attorney Gil Colson. As of now, the actors haven’t really revealed any plot details for the movie, but have talked about how great the script for the film was. Paul Dano teased fans by saying that the script of the film was a powerful script and now it seems Zoë Kravitz is backing that up.
As mentioned, Kravitz will be playing the role of Selina Kyle A.K.A. Catwoman and it has already been stated that she had to go through a lot of physical training to prepare for the role. She has been excited to play the role of Catwoman ever since she was cast for the role and has talked at length about the costume fittings she had to do to get into the role of Catwoman. No one is quite sure how she will look on the big screen, but a glimpse of it can be seen online in set photos that were taken. According to Kravitz, Pattinson is the right man for the job to take up the role of “The Bat” after seeing some of what has already been shot and she believes that the script for the film is “phenomenal.” With multiple actors working on the film saying the script is good, we can only hope the end result will be as great as they say it could.
The production for ‘The Batman’ was in the middle of being filmed when the pandemic hit and all productions worldwide had to stop. Going back about a month ago, it was announced that the UK would lift restrictions enough for filming to recommence. Not too long after that, however, there was an announcement that ‘The Batman’ wasn’t ready to resume filming due to the size of the production crew and the difficulty of the entire project. Now that there are a new set of regulations in place, plans have to be made to change the way film productions are done. This movies was meant to be done and released to theaters by October 2021, but with the way things are moving forward, there is no way of knowing when it will release for sure.
