Actually, I think that when I was younger, I was like, it really excited me and obviously like this point, it’s been so many years,” Gonzalez said.
Still, the loss of the role made her a little disdained momentarily.
“I was so excited when I was like, camera tested for The Batman. And that whole process was like shocking and I couldn’t believe it because I was especially such a huge fan of Catwoman. And in that moment, I was like, you know, distraught that I didn’t get it,” she added.

I just was so obsessed with what Matt [Reeves] had created and now I’m just like, it’s just nice to see people for the right role getting cast in the right role and I just like to watch it as an audience member. I’m not, like, as passionate as, like I want to be in those worlds anymore as I would love to if the opportunity happened. But, you know, I’m, I’m just a geek, like in the sense that I like to watch it and it, it, I don’t have like a personal, like I didn’t get it so I don’t watch, you know, like, I don’t care about that anymore at all.”
