Zoë Kravitz is an excellent Catwoman and a great actor.
Hollywood is trying to put on its best face when it comes to diversity and inclusion. But behind closed doors, racism, homophobia, and classism still rear their ugly heads.
This weekend, The Batman dominated the box office, smashing records and making people forget the last two dismal years. We were treated to a good film and a great performance by Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman.
But it turns out, we could have seen this performance years prior, if not for some bigotry. Kravitz told The Observer in a recent interview that she auditioned to play Catwoman before, in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. But she says she was rejected and told she was too “urban” for the part.
