Anne Hathaway's piece of advice for Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman 

In a recent interview with Collider, Anne Hathaway shared what guidance she would like to give to Zoë Kravitz for essaying Selina Kyle / Catwoman in The Batman. Referring to the recently leaked set photos, she said that people have now seen Kravitz coming down those stairs and so she does not need her advice. Hathaway mentioned that if she had any advice, it would "literally be to not listen to anybody" because she thinks the only way to play the role is to give your own version of it.

Anne Hathaway stated that all of them had different directors and all of their interpretations were specific to the films that they were in. She hinted that it is a bit like her character in The Witches; Grand High Witch is specific to Bob Zemeckis and Angelica Huston’s is specific to Nicolas Roeg’s, and that is great for her.

She then pointed out how all the Jokers were specific to each director and she does not think one can get “too bogged down” with the comparison. Hathaway noted that she is so excited to see what Zoe Kravitz does with the DC Comics character. She disclosed that she thought Kravitz was a “perfect choice” to play Catwoman.
