Matt Reeves would be wise to consider the up and coming actress for the role of Selina Kyle. Traditionally, Kyle isn’t depicted as a Latina but a little diversity wouldn’t kill anyone. In fact, when the DCEU announced a Harley Quinn spinoff rumors suggested Gotham City Sirens would be the route WB/DC would go — guess who name was attached. Eiza Gonzalez was rumored to join Margot Robbie as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman. Of course, Birds of Prey isn’t happening but that shouldn’t stop the DCEU from considering Eiza Gonzalez as Selina Kyle in Matt Reeves The Batman. The 28-year old actress would make the perfect Selina Kyle.

In fact, her role in From Dusk Till Dawn alludes to her ability to tap into the sensual, cunning, smart characteristics that exist in Selina Kyle. As Santanico Pandemoniu, Gonzalez plays the Queen Vampire and ruler of the Titty Twister. She uses sensuality to lure her victims is more than just a sex symbol. Santanico is a strong, commanding, intimidating leader — an absolute boss. Similarly to Selina Kyle, who is more than a streetwalker. She uses prostitution as a way out eventually becoming an absolute badass and feared in own right.

Gonzalez’s character in Baby Driver, Darling also lends itself to Selina Kyle. Darling is a criminal who will do what it takes to protect herself and her man as evident when she gets into a shootout with the police.
