Holmes Screws Up
While I am much happier with the choice of Maggie Gyllenhaal as the new Rachel Dawes (she is a great actress and adorable as well), I cannot believe that Katie Holmes had the cajones to weasel out of her contract after the first film! She should have never been in Begins in the first place, but to create an incorrectable inconsistency that will forever get under my skin is unforgivable. A series that had the potential to be nearly perfect is marred by some cult freak with no sense of commitment. I have faith that Nolan will deliver another great movie, but I'm sure he;s asking himself as I am: "Why didn't I cast Maggie in the first place?" Oh well. What's done is done.
