Who is Batman? One of the most popular characters in the DC Universe, Batman is the vigilante persona of billionaire Bruce Wayne, who fights criminals on the streets of Gotham City.

Christina Ricci plays Selina Kyle / Catwoman
Who is Catwoman? Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is a cat burglar who gains a level of infamy in Gotham City. She can be friend, foe and even lover to Batman depending on the story, so it will be interesting to see how Caped Crusader interprets the character.
What else has Christina Ricci been in? After gaining prominence as Wednesday in The Addams Family films, Ricci's most notable credits have been Monster, Pan Am and The Matrix Resurrections.
