In the movie, directed by Matt Reeves, Selina goes into her apartment at one point and calls out “baby” while looking for her friend Anika. People who have seen the movie reported that it felt their relationship is more than just friends.

So, is Selina bisexual?

“That’s definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship,” Zoe said in an interview with Pedestrian.tv.

The reporter expressed excitement over Catwoman being bisexual in this cinematic universe and Zoe replied, “I agree!”

Matt also opened up about the character’s sexuality.

“[The film is] very true to the character of Selina Kyle. She’s not yet Catwoman, but all the elements of how she’s going to become Catwoman are there,” Matt said. “And in terms of her relationship with Anika, I spoke to Zoë very early on and one of the things she said which I loved was that: ‘She’s drawn to strays because she was a stray and so she really wants to care for these strays because she doesn’t want to be that way anymore and Anika is like a stray and she loves her. She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore’.”

He added, “So I don’t think we meant to go directly in that way, but you can interpret it that way for sure. She has an intimacy with that character and it’s a tremendous and deep caring for that character, more so than a sexual thing, but there was meant to be quite an intimate relationship between them.”

Two special people in Zoe‘s life are heading to the premiere of The Batman.
