Keith, Dude… do you realize what you’re askin’ for?

How exactly do you propose they go about refilming all her scenes with the LATE Heath Ledger???

And, no thanks, let’s not try FIX things with CGI.

Yeah – Maggie brought it down for me, too, but nothing can be done about that. It’s at least a good thing the script called for her to be killed off…

I think that the re-release of the movie should have katie holmes replacing maggie Gyllenhaal, if possible. In my opinion that is the only flaw in the movie (a big one in my eyes). It looses that realism and its hard to believe. Im not her biggest fan nor do I think shes the greatest actress, but movie sequals need the original cast. Plus the death scene would of been more shocking. If they make a 3rd installment it could of gone down as the best trilogy of all time, next to star wars, but that replacment kills it, what if star wars replaced princess lea in empire strikes back? it would have been weird huh? That why I think it should be done.

Whatever the reason I also prefer Katie Holmes as Rachel D. I wish she had been there, and it´s sad because surely she´s going to regret the decision, I saw Batman Begins last weekend and I definetely think Katie was better for the role. Maggie is a good actress but I think Katie did well in the first one and she should have continued in The dark knight.

Anyone think maybe she wasn’t in the sequel because of her role in Thank you For Smoking with Aaron Eckhart? Maybe Tom was jealous of their “humping” all over his apartment in the movie, and didn’t want them acting along side each other again.

I saw The Dark Knight, and after watching Batman Begins again, I can honestly say I prefer Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. Too bad Katie turned down the part. It would’ve brought her offers for higher caliber roles, and increase her popularity, not to be known as TC’s wife. Maybe TC didn’t want his wife more popular than him, or being in a movie that made more money this his. Did anyone watch Lions for Lambs? Didn’t think so…

kudos to the makers Dark Knight for their record breaking opening weekend… it’s no wonder there’s talk of another one coming out ASAP

Mary–whose life is perfect??? Katie’s?? No one’s life is perfect. She doesn’t look at all well or happy in the July 4th pics. I don’t think Suri wants Tom carrying her and when Katie leans over to speak to Suri or reassure her-not sure which, from the video it looks as if Tom deliberately turns away. The rich and famous have the same if not more of the same problems we all have as humans on this planet.

Do you think KH has a say about what happens in her career, in her life or does tc have the total say. Oh, my, personally I wouldn’t like that.

I think the timing was off for them personally. He was shooting that german movie, and they probably didn’t want to break up the family. But obviously with all the hype surrounding heath being in this it will be a huge success, and obviously katie could not have predicted that.I doubt tom said a blatant no, I am sure she too made the decision.
