LOL, I was thinking of making a thread for them here. Glad to know you posted it here as well!
(01-02-2009, 01:16 AM) I loved Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in
Batman Begins; She was very different from most of the romantic interests of Superheroes in movies or comics. Rachel was necessarily a Damsel in Distress, she wasn't falling over Bruce (before or after he returned) and was a heaRABtrong Lawyer determined to bring the Unjust to Justice. I loved that she was part of the motivation that sent Bruce on his journey that would lead him to Batman and that they kept the really serious "Romantic" element of the film for last. Even though it felt like something that should've been developed as a subplot, the chemistry between Holmes and Bale sold the scene completely.
The character, under Holmes' wing, could've developed into a great character by the time The Dark Knight came around, but unfortunately Katie didn't return. I was against the change to begin with, but Maggie wasn't even trying to put in even a half-decent performance as Rachel and lacked chemistry with both her co-stars to even make me believe that either of these men could want her.
With that said, I can be added as well?
Hey, I'm not exactly sure if this is breaking the rules (if it is, I'll remove it ASAP!), but if anyone else is a fan of Katie Holmes' portrayal of Rachel Dawes or the character in general, you should check out
