The \"Big Little Lies\" actress will star opposite Robert Pattinson as Batman.

She reportedly beat out \"Deadpool 2\" veteran Zazie Beetz, Alicia Vikander of \"Tomb Raider\" and \"Baby Driver\" actress Eiza Gonzalez for the role of the anti-heroine and occasional love interest of the Caped Crusader.

Incidentally, \"The Batman\" won't be Kravitz's first role in a major franchise -- she played the baddie Angel in 2011's \"X-Men: First Class.\" She will next be seen in the upcoming Hulu series \"High Fidelity,\" launching later this year.

Anne Hathaway, who played Catwoman in 2012's \"The Dark Knight Rises\" expressed her excitement for Kravitz on Instagram.
