Zoë Kravitz Underwent Intense Training to Play Catwoman in 'The Batman'

For her new film The Batman, actress Zoe Kravitz says that along with the eight hours she spent on set, she trained for three hours a day at the gym during her time off set. To bring Catwoman to life, Kravitz had to wear a figure-hugging bodysuit, and wanted to make sure that she was not only in shape to look the part but to look strong as well.

In an interview with Elle, Kravitz explained, "Obviously, you want to look good in a catsuit, but I wanted it to be realistic that I’m able to do anything in this film. So I had to be strong."

Consequently, the 33-year-old actress says she ended up getting stronger and more confident. "I got stronger than I’ve ever been. That felt good, to see what I was capable of. I felt confident—and I could kick some ass," she commented.

The Batman features Robert Pattinson as Batman/Bruce Wayne. While the Batman franchise has seen a number of incarnations, this version focuses on a younger Batman in his early years of fighting crime. In addition, Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Colin Farrell star as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Edward Nashton/The Riddler, and Oswald Copperpot/Penguin, respectively. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 4.
