Does the Rachel recast bother anyone?

Christopher Nolan's 2008 mega success about Batman's attempts to defeat a criminal mastermind known only as the Joker.

Maggie is better than Katie, but I think she was miscasted in TDK. Anyway, the switch had always bothered me and I still don't know why it happened. Was it because Katie was pregnant or just fired?

She said it was scheduling conflicts but we all know the truth? She wanted more dinero.

True about the accent.

If only she could fake an American voice.

Same. Pretty much Nolan's worst decision as a director/writer was that character and both actresses he had to play her.

lolwut?

Rachel Dawes is very important in BB. Less so in TDK, but she still has a role to play in the film. Stating that the character is Nolan's "worst decision as a director/writer" is ludicrous.
