00:00Every single day you see someone wearing a Batman t-shirt,

00:03like around the world.

00:04Yeah, it's so ingrained in the culture.

00:05It's something that connects to people

00:06on such a kind of primal level.

00:08It's something about how long the character's been around,

00:18so it's been around for 80 years,

00:20and it's such a massive part of global culture,

00:25and it feels, it's not just doing a remake of a movie

00:29or something, it's...

00:30I think what I was really excited about

00:32was seeing how the other women who played Catwoman

00:35really made the character so different every time,

00:38and how they really made it their own every time.

00:40It's not about saving the world,

00:48it's about this one particular place, too,

00:51so you have to feel connected to it.

00:52It has to feel real, it has to feel grounded,

00:55or it kind of doesn't work, I think.

00:57And the nature of the bad guys in it,

01:00they're just, I mean, they're very accessible bad guys.

01:04I mean, it's just, it's kind of,

01:06it's very easy to imagine it existing in reality.

01:08It's what Gotham is, like this city in turmoil

01:11that's kind of falling apart,

01:12and because it's one of the few superhero films

01:16where it's not about supernatural powers,

01:19it's really, you want to ground it.

01:28There's different layers.

01:29Like, you have, first, you're just really excited

01:30and can't believe it's happening,

01:31and then you realize that you have to do it,

01:34and that people are going to see it and judge it,

01:36and then you get really scared,

01:37and then it's kind of like a back and forth

01:40between that the whole time.

01:49It's exciting when so many great actors have interpreted it,

01:53that just trying to find your own place is,

01:57it's really challenging, and kind of,

02:00and also knowing that everyone is going to judge you

02:02in comparison to that, it's kind of,

02:04it's scary, but it's fun.

02:06You can't help but be inspired by the people

02:08who played them before,

02:09because they did such wonderful work,

02:10and so trying to take that inspiration

02:13and kind of still find ways to make it your own,

02:16and I was very inspired by that.

02:23And I think that's what I'm most proud of,

02:25is that I got to be a part of it.

02:27I got to be a part of it.

02:28I got to be a part of it.

02:29I got to be a part of it.

02:30I got to be a part of it.

02:31I got to be a part of it.

02:32I got to be a part of it.

02:33I got to be a part of it.

02:34I got to be a part of it.

02:35I got to be a part of it.

02:36I got to be a part of it.

02:37I got to be a part of it.

02:38I got to be a part of it.

02:39I got to be a part of it.

02:40I got to be a part of it.

02:41I got to be a part of it.
