"Congratulations, my love, on this iconic moment. I am so proud of you. #TheBatman," Lenny captioned his post.

Opening up about the process of playing Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Zoë recalled an early screen test with Pattinson, 35, who plays the titular character.

"The chemistry read was really intense," she told Entertainment Weekly. "Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn't just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least."

In a separate interview with Empire, Zoë explained the inspiration behind her character.

"We watched cats and lions and how they fight, and talked about what is actually possible when you're my size and Batman's so much stronger than me," she said. "What is my skill? It's being fast and tricky. So we did some really interesting floor work that incorporated different kinds of martial arts and capoeira and a kind of feline, dance-like movement."

She added, "This is an origin story for Selina. So it's the beginning of her figuring out who she is, beyond just someone trying to survive. I think there's a lot of space to grow and I think we are watching her become what I'm sure will be the femme fatale."

The Batman premieres in theaters March 4.
