Like Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle sizing each other up on a Gotham city rooftop, Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz, aka Catwoman, unleashed an electric onscreen chemistry when they ran their first screen test for “The Batman.” During their first day on set, Kravitz and Pattinson were equally unprepared for the pressure they felt when they were thrust into a scene in full costume for a camera test before ever running their lines together.
“The chemistry read was really intense,” Kravitz tells Entertainment Weekly. “Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP (director-producer) there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn’t just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least.”
For Pattinson, the scene was especially nerve-racking thanks to a slight wardrobe malfunction. “The first time I’d even said lines from the script was in Zoë’s screen test,” he says. “They had this idea that they wanted me to be taller at the beginning, so I basically had high-heeled sneakers on, and I’m tottering around in this strange Batman outfit. The camera’s not even on me, it’s on the back of my head, and I’m literally having this major panic attack, just looking for emotional support from Zoë, who’s trying to get the part.”
