Zoe
Kravitz,
who
is
basking
in
the
success
of
Matt
Reeves'
The
Batman,
recently
opened
up
about
her
audition
for
a
previous
Batman
movie
by
Christopher
Nolan-
The
Dark
Knight
Rises.
The
actress
revealed
that
she
couldn't
read
for
a
small
part
in
the
film
because
she
was
considered
'too
urban'
for
the
film.
Zoe
revealed
that
the
comment
on
her
colour
by
the
makers
was
not
easy
to
accept
at
the
time.
Zoe's
statement
to
Variety
quickly
went
viral
on
social
media,
as
many
misinterpreted
that
Zoe
had
been
offered
Catwoman's
role
in
The
Dark
Knight
Rises.
The
actress
took
to
her
Instagram
account
and
set
the
record
straight.
She
said,
"I
was
NOT
told
I
was
too
urban
to
play
Catwoman
in
the
dark
knight."
She
took
to
her
Instagram
stories
and
added
that
she
had
auditioned
for
a
small
part.
The
statement
said,
"It
would
have
made
NO
sense
for
me
to
even
be
considered
for
that
role
at
that
time.
I
wanted
to
AUDITION
for
a
small
part
in
the
film
and
was
told
(I
do
not
know
who
said
this,
but
this
is
how
it
was
worded
to
me)
that
they
were
not
going
'urban'
on
the
part.
This
is
something
I
heard
a
lot
20
years
ago-it
was
a
very
different
time."
Meanwhile,
Kravitz's
performance
in
The
Batman
is
being
praised
by
critics
and
fans.
The
character
was
earlier
played
by
actresses
like
Michelle
Pfeiffer,
Halle
Berry,
Eartha
Kitt,
Julie
Newmar,
and
Anne
Hathaway
over
the
years.
The
Batman
led
by
Robert
Pattinson
also
stars
Colin
Farrell,
Jeffrey
Wright,
Paul
Dano,
Andy
Serkis,
John
Turturro,
Peter
Sarsgaard,
and
others.
