Is anyone really bothered by the recasting of Rachel Dawes?

I used to be bothered by it quite a bit but I'm sort of over it now.

It helps that I'm a huge Maggie Gyllenhaal fan, and also the way I see it is, Batman Begins is basically the film that sets everything up so that TDK can just jump right into everything, and I just view Rachel in BB as, setting up the plot points and relationship with Bruce, and then Rachel in TDK is the real Rachel, I dunno, I'm not sure how to explain it but that's the way I see it.

So who is bothered by the Rachel thing?

Yes, it does. However, in terms of acting, Maggie simply owns Katie.

Maggie is a great actress, Katie isn't really anything special.

maggie in tdk comes off as a 16 year-old reading her lines in a school play.Too each his own I guess but everybody should agree that both of them are terrible.Easily Nolan's worst female casting(both of them).

They aren't good, correct. But many of Katie's lines seemed so forced in Begins, Maggie at least felt a little more real. Just the way I see it.

They both seemed like they were 16 yr olds reading lines from a school play.

But between the two, I preferred Katie.
