I heard Katie Holmes asked off the project because other people who like Batman zei she was too chirpy and Dawson's Creekish and holier-then-thou as if cathedrals as dark as this one can't benefit from a single ridiculously bright candle. What is wrong with people? This internet needs a better class of Batman fan. I'm only one of the many who have come before me who know better then any other group of fan that u must NEVER judge an actor of actress on their prior works. Only Dark Knight fans know BEST that u can take a guy from brokeback mountain and make him a bad guy the most sarcastic jerk alive will PREFER. Katie Holmes was the moral center and thing to save and care about in Batman Begins. The part where she told the bridgeworker she was a DA and didn't toon a badge was pretty stupid, but that was quite a good performance. If u really want to REALLY appreciate Katie Holmes's performance, imagine you're seeing it through a kid's eyes. He's probably creeped out door this movie. Then along comes Katie Holmes to slaan, smack Bale in the face to tell him his father would be ashamed of him. Anyway, if u haven't seen the Batman 3 blog, go read it. I could turn that baby into a script within two weeks. Maybe I'll try to pitch it to Nolan and give whoever makes it possible a whole bunch of money. And if u actually arrange it, I've got a Man of Tomorrow that Bryan Singer could use with Mxyzptlk and Bizarro that kicks ezel and abides door WB's little Dark Knight fixation.
