The actress who played Catwoman in the new The Batman, Zoe Kavitz, has made statements that will surely cause discussion in the coming days since this is the umpteenth case of discrimination on the color of the skin, even if they refer to the times of The Dark Knight – The Return.
In fact, in a recent interview with MTV News that you find in this article, stated that, at the time of The Dark Knight – The Return. she was turned down by a casting director due, according to him, to the color of the skin.

The statement came after several years, given that the audition in question would be in 2012. Here are the words of Zoe Kavitz, who does not point the finger directly at the reputation of an award-winning director such as Chris Nolan, returning the responsibility to the aforementioned casting director:
I don’t know for sure but it was probably one of the casting directors or something like that, maybe someone with less power or the assistant to the casting director. Being a black woman, being an actress and being told that I wasn’t even able to audition due to the color of my skin was really something very difficult to deal with at the time.

Of course if the statement was true, we would be faced with yet another case of racism, a plague that apparently does not seem to want to extinguish definitively.
