With DC FanDome 2021 set to kick off tomorrow, The Batman director Matt Reeves offered fans a bit of teaser of what to expect by revealing an official photo of Zoë Kratiz as Catwoman.
"Meet Selina Kyle… See more of her tomorrow at DC FanDome," Reeves wrote in a tweet that quickly went viral.

The image is fairly simple: a shot of Kravitz in a tank top sporting heavy eyeliner. She appears to be looking at someone, possibly Robert Pattinson's Batman, who she referred to as her "partner in crime" early last year.
With a brand new trailer for The Batman set to be shown at DC FanDome tomorrow, the Catwoman reveal is part of the marketing drumbeat leading up to the big event. Earlier today, two new posters were revealed for The Batman, with a short teaser appearing yesterday.
It's a big moment for Batman fans, who have been waiting patiently for their favorite hero to return. Like so many other movies in 2020, The Batman was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. To prepare for the role of Catwoman, Kravitz was forced to train virtually five days a week.
Interestingly, this isn't Kravitz's first turn as Catwoman. She previously portrayed Batman's on-again, off-again foe and love interest in The Lego Batman Movie. We'll get to see how her performance translates to real life when The Batman releases on March 4, 2022.
In the meantime, stay tuned for all of IGN's DC FanDome 2021 coverage, which kicks off tomorrow starting at 9:30am PT/12:30pm ET.
