Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer are among the actresses to have played Catwoman over the years, and now, they're congratulating the next woman to take on the role, Zoe Kravitz.
In a tweet, Berry, 53, congratulated Kravitz, 30, on landing the role, calling her "eternally graceful" and "extremely bad -ss."
The tweet concluded with "keep shining Queen & welcome to the family!"

Berry's turn as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in 2004 was panned by fans and critics alike, and Berry even appeared in person at the 2005 Razzie Awards to accept her award for worst actress.
Pfeiffer, 61, also famously played the role in "Batman Returns" in 1992, and spoke about Kravitz's casting with Michael Strahan on "Good Morning America."
"I'm so excited," Pfeiffer said.
When asked whether she had any advice for Kravitz, Pfeiffer said: "Make sure, whilst designing the costume, they consider how you're going to go to the bathroom."
