As for hard to take seriously, it's hard for me to take a person seriously that looks like a 14 year old playing the role of an assistant District Attorney. I didn't buy her in that role at all the entire movie.

If that's your beef with her then you're saying she was mis-cast, which falls on the directors and producers, not her.

meh. I have a  friend who is a  lawyer(pretty damn good really) and she's mid 20's. Katie Holmes looked fine as far as age goes for me. the way she talks is just her. Its' not unprofessional or professional or anything. It's a certain quirk. I think the real issue with Katie Homes is she's still and possibly will always be looked at as Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek. It's like having Mathew Perry in a movie. He's always playing Chandler. It's an association people make and it's hard to get rid of for some actors.  I also think she gains alot of hate because of the whoel Tom Cruise media blitz thing. She was America's little sweetheart before that. Ina  weird twist her relationship wiht him has destroyed her career. 

I just find it hard to believe anyone thought her performance was so bad that TDK is better off with her being left out of TDK. Was she not asked? Did she decline? I dont' know. I do know I hate when movie series use different actors to portray the same character.  Like Star Wars using that little kid for Phantom than using Hayden Christensen for Clones and Sith. Shit like that bugs me. Shoud've just used Hayden from the start and I just think they shoud've stayed with Katie Holmes. Maggie's performance won't add to the movie in my opinion cause it's a bit part. "the love interest" Anyone can do it.   

Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne and Batman for god's sake. He could have anyone so for me it's less believable he's interested in homely Maggie Gyllenhall. Katie Holmes was at least somewhat believable in that sense

Shallow I know:haha:

My only complaint so far is that Maggie Gyllenhall(sp?) has taken over Katie Holmes' character. She may be a better actress but the roll can't be  big enough to make  a difference. It's basically a bit part roll no? I know alot of peole complained about Katie's acting in BB but really it didn't hurt the film one way or another in my opinion. I thought she was fine. PLus she's a lot nicer to look at in my opinion.

actually, i didn't bother seeing batman begins because of katie holmes. stupid reason, i know, but i kind of avoid her movies. when i saw that maggie was in this one i was really happy. and i only saw batman begins a few days ago so i could get some continuity on the story. if it wasn't for heath in this movie i would watch it just because it has maggie in it.
