Zoë Kravitz and Matt Reeves on ‘The Batman 2’s’ Slow Writing Process, Casting Channing Tatum and Robert Pattinson on Instinct, and Why Editing Is More Painful Than Directing

When Zoë Kravitz first met Matt Reeves about playing Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, opposite Robert Pattinson in “The Batman,” she was two years into writing what would become her feature directorial debut. Born from Kravitz’s “rage towards men in power,” “Blink Twice” — renamed from the original “Pussy Island,” for obvious reasons — follows Frida (Naomi Ackie) as she falls into the orbit of tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) and is whisked away to his private island, where the opulent, never-ending party atmosphere belies a far more menacing reality. A few months after the film’s summer release, Reeves sits down with Kravitz, armed with questions for the actor turned filmmaker about her experience behind the camera. Kravitz also gets her once and future director talking about his process — and sharing updates on “The Batman Part II” and the future of the HBO spinoff “The Penguin,” which Reeves executive produced.
