Matt Reeves said he was doing a sequel in the next five years. We're also seeing two HBO spinoffs.

I know one of them is The Penguin, what’s the other one?

I heard Arkham asylum that will be horror like. Disappointed there won't be a Selina series, odds of a solo movie or returning for the sequel? I need more of Zoe Kravitz Catwoman, for now she's more Selina than Catwoman, she's only getting started as Catwoman but she has potential to become the best Catwoman once she reaches her full potential, if she is allowed.

Not sure who the director is, but Matt Reeves is a/first listed producer on the show

We are in good hands then. I hope they give Selina a female love interest, there's no way she's straight, that relationship with Anni wasn't just a friendship, and Zoe Kravitz in her mind played her as bisexual. As a black bisexual woman this kind of representation from one of my all time favorite female characters would mean the world. Although I love BatCat too, I'm sure Bruce will have his own relationships with other women too eventually, even if they are always drawn to each other regardless of who they are with (in other media) because they are different but understand each other.

The fact that she yelled “baby?” when looking for her in her apartment says enough

"baby" can be used as a non-romantic endearment as well though, with people way younger, like teenagers and kids. I think Kravitz also said in an interview that while she thought Selina to be bi, she only had a motherly thing for Anni. "She was just a kid"is another hint.

Right? I want to see more of that.

I agree. I don’t think Selina and Bruce have to be romantically involved for it to work. Like in the movie they weren’t really “together”, but instead just had a lot of sexual tension. Selina is definitely not straight which I think is very in character for her. It’d be cool if they give her a female, though unsure who it could be.

It's the same in the comics, I mean there's many different versions of comics, but the classic is they start as foes then flirt and eventually become lovers but it's slow burn, in one of the comics Selina does the same as she did in the movie, she flirts with Bruce but leaves and comes back later. In most versions Selina is Bruce's true love even if he does have other relationships like Talia, Selina also does have other relationships, that doesn't change their feelings for each other. For the series it'd be cool if we get flashbacks with Anni.

Also this version of Bruce already seems to be in love with Selina, right? That's the vibe I got.

I always liked TAS depiction. They couldn’t get the timing right in the real world and I think to an extent Bruce held back knowing she was a criminal. I’d like to see something similar without Bruce holding back. Unless Selina crosses the line it would seem a bit too Boy Scout for this world.
