Reactions to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins might have been varied, but on one point most seemed to agree -- there was nothing all that thrilling about the performance of Katie Holmes. To be honest, although I was ambivalent about her in the movie, "the girl" role in Batman movies has never been all that interesting to me to begin with. In the end, they are always just somebody to rescue.On Thursday, tipsters inside Warner Brothers told LatinoReview.com that Katie Holmes would not be returning in the role of Bruce Wayne's childhood love Rachel Dawes for the sequel, The Dark Knight. Then, Variety confirmed that Holmes had officially dropped out to join Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. Now, the rumor mill is at full tilt about Rachel McAdams being the front-runner to replace Holmes as "the girl" in the film. It's all completely unsubstantiated at this date, but another rumor -- that McAdams has been asked to make an appearance in the film as Selena Kyle -- seems somehow more credible. Also, Nolan is still looking for his Harvey Dent, so it may be a while before this cast begins to fall into place.

yes throw selena kyle into the mix! now there's a real love interest for batman. the only real love interest who has lasted through the comics. in a way catwoman is to batman what lois lane is to superman. oh and please don't give her superpowers. she should be an aristocratic cat burgler with a flair for the theatrical. again much like batman himself.

What about using Jack Nicholson again for the Joker insteead of Heath Ledger. But yes I agree the Ray Liotta would be a great Harvey Dent.

I just cannot picture Heath Ledger playing the Joker. How do you go from a role in Brokeback Mountain to the Joker?

the number one thing that has hurt Katie Holmes career is that she's a bad actress.
Rachel McAdams can run circles around her.

Rachel is a great actress. She was great in "beautiful girl" and hilarious as the blonde Regina in "Mean Girls". She has a lot of talent whereas Katie is just ho-hum. You look at Rachel and say "wow". You look at Katie and say, "why?"

Well if Estelle Getty is playing Harley Quinn then Bea Arthur should play The Joker.

Would someone pick Hallie Berry for the role as catwoman. It would be nice to see her revise her role in a real batman movie. rachel Mcadams is the most marriable woman ever to walk the planet besides Kate Beckinsdale.

Katherine McPhee is to take Katie Holmes place in Batman...She is far prettier and I am sure she could act the part, there isn't much to it....

Batman Begins was such an INCREDIBLE movie, I wanted to chase down all the copies of the Batman movies made during the 90's and burn them in the center of Hollywood. Katie (who I barely knew as an actress until she started dating her Dad.. er, Tom) had such an insignificant role, she didn't annoy me, and the next movie won't miss her. What can the next movie NOT do without? Christian Bale and Gary Oldman.

Too bad Katie didnt wonna do Batman anymore.
I love her in it and her character,rela.storyline is such a promising entertaining one.
McAdams is so ugly lately and is not a good actress.
Check out McAdams because she's more like a Harley and a Joker. What a freaky ugly chic.
Katie is looking mighty fine so maybe Tom didnt want her opposite Christian Bale.

All i know is as long as you have Christian Bale play batman your movie will be a hit. He is perfect for the role of batman and all others who played batman before him pale in comparision. I must agree, Ray Liotta as Harvey Dent would be a great addition.
