The Batman has officially released the third and final single from Michael Giacchino's score: Catwoman's theme.
Director Matt Reeves announced on Twitter that Giacchino's theme for Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), simply titled "Catwoman," was now available for listening. The track can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, Deezer and TIDAL. It is also available for download on the iTunes Store. The theme itself wouldn't feel out of place in an old-timey detective movie. It is elegant yet haunting, featuring a significant amount of piano.
Previously, The Batman released Giacchino's respective themes for Bruce Wayne/Batman (Robert Pattinson) and Edward Nashton/the Riddler (Paul Dano). At three minutes and four seconds in duration, "Catwoman" is the shortest single from the film's score. "The Batman" runs at meaty six minutes and 48 seconds, while "The Riddler" clocks in at five minutes and two seconds.
Kravitz recently discussed the journey her version of Selina Kyle goes on, as well as the nature of her transformation into Catwoman. The Fantastic Beasts alum is far from the first actor to portray the DC cat burglar in live-action, with the role having previously been occupied by the likes of Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway and Camren Bicondova. Nevertheless, Kravitz promises a fresh take on the character in The Batman.
"To see a person like Selina really get in touch with her power and become Catwoman? That's a journey that I'm really interested in exploring," Kravitz recently explained. "We haven't quite seen that yet. We usually meet Catwoman, and it's either a very quick transformation -- an overnight thing -- or she's already there. And so to find the emotional journey that brings her to the place where she is making the choice to be this person, is what I'm really excited about."
Kravitz also made it a point to hone in on Selina's humanity. "I've read some of the comics now, but I wasn't a comic head or anything," she said. "I also tried to think about [the role] not as Catwoman, but as a woman, how does this make me feel? How are we approaching this and how are we making sure we're not fetishizing or creating a stereotype? I knew it needed to be a real person."
The Batman releases in theaters on Friday, March 4.
