well she had it coming.even the Irish movie show popcorn commented on how badly she was making Begins look to War of the Worlds which I believe is being highly overrated. WB couldnt have been hapopy with her bringing the star of Batman Begins MAIN rival-(which WOTW is) to all its screenings and having him speak about his movie at a BATMAN Premiere and not mention Batman once.

For me, Katie was one of the weak points of Batman Begins so i'm not gonna miss her.

[shadow=purple,left,300]Still not having seen the movie (don't ask), I can't say whether or not Katie will be missed dearly. But, I don't think Bruce needs a continuing romantic interest, unless it's someone like Selina Kyle. I'm sure her departure was in mind long before this decision was made official.
But again, she hasn't been the best promotional item out there. She should dump Tom and begin dating Wal-Mart... they have so much in common![/shadow]

She was adequate, but I think any romance between Bats and a non-super character is pretty much doomed to that sinking, 'tacked-on' feeling. I think the only major exception is Silver, who was always nicely characterized, believable, curious-but-not-in-an-annoying-Vicki-Vale-way and had a surprising amount of depth. Otherwise, Bats is strong enough that he doesn't really need a romantic relationship- ESPECIALLY in a Joker story, as 1989's film already played that out.

I was hoping she would be back in the sequel to be killed by the Joker-it would have levitated him to the status he belongs in

I won't miss her. Now that she's gone, Gotham is short a D.A. and an assisstant D.A.. I wonder what they'll do?...But the ending of the movie really kinda wrote her off. She's not needed in Gotham anymore since bats is there. Maybe if they had to show a love interest then they should have selina not catwoman yet. Just selina on the east side with holly. Or get Leslie Thompson for alfred, i think it's about time alfred gets the girl.

THANK YOU! ! ! I cannot stand Katie Holmes, I never really cared about her or what she was doing until she started promoting Tom's movies during Batman Begin's press conferences and talk shows. I hope War of the World's BOMBS!

GOOD. she would add nothing to another film. The love interest deal worked well for Begins...but we don't need it again.

She's cute, but I won't miss her in a sequel. And I did get really tired of her talking about Tom Cruise ALL the time.

[shadow=red,left,300]Good riddance. I'm one of those who believe the whole Katie and Tom "romance" has taken away much publicity from the movie itself. Every damn online article I read regarding the film had at least one blurb about the "lovebirds". And forget about television coverage such as Entertainment Tonight, as Katie and Tom take up the headlines, with Batman Begins being an afterthought.[/shadow]

It's all previously been said by all of my illustrious colleagues. She added 'no fuel' to Batman's fire.

*Throws a party* That's a relief. I couldn't stand her in Batman Begins, and I can't stand her in real life. I also hated when she promoted War of the Worlds rather then Batman Begins.

For me, Katie was one of the weak points of Batman Begins so i'm not gonna miss her. Yeah, have to agree on that. My wife even commented on how there was no chemistry between her and Bale. While I like her, I don't think she was right for the role. As someone else pointed out, I don't think that Bruce Wayne has to have love interest and should play up the Billionaire Playboy more. The only reason they have the love interest is to garner female patrons. Sorry if that sounds sexist, but I think there's some truth to it. The Batman films should focus on Batman and the villains mostly, and use the supporting cast sparingly. Hopefully WB has learned from their mistakes and won't repeat some of the same mistakes, like doubling up on the villainly. Sorry, but this turns into each actor trying to outdo the other one. As far as Katie, her character brought nothing to the table, unlike Gordon, Arthur and Fox

I won't miss Katie Holmes, but I liked the Rachel character. I didn't think she seemed as tacked on as other bat girlfriends. She really said some pretty wise things. She seems to represent "old gotham" when it was a thriving city that was on its way to get better. I wouldn't like her to just dissapear but I would especially not like her to be recast and we have the same problem as we did with the ever changing Batman like in the original ones. On the other hand, I would love to see Selina Kyle brought in as Batman's love interest.

Good!
"She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress.
That could be just about anybody. ;D

I don't think she embarrassed herself in the movie (tho offscreen that's another matter). Nevertheless, she was clearly outclassed by the rest of the cast. I wouldn't miss her.

Yay she's gone. She's an idiot.
But I rather them not put in a love interest. They always get in the way.

I agree. They do get in the way. They should have him on dates with different girls in the film but just as background. No plot or story should revolve around them.

They always get in the way. well said I hero you for that.its just an excuse for the studio to cast a hot actress of the day-Young,Basinger,Pfeiffer,Kidman and Thurman were all red hot (career wise ) at the time of the previous movies.doesnt explain Holmes though-- but thats life ;D

Good point about the crossing over of stars. I award ya a hero. Tho i thought Hugh Jackman wasn't actually going to be in it. I thought he was only visiting Singer, but i could be wrong.

Ah, nice. When I think of her skill as an actress, the word "maladroit" comes to mind.

......Or they could bring her back and she could be the Joker's 1st Kill.At least then she'd have an excuse for that stupid grin she gets when Tom is around!
