View Full Version : Rachel Dawes Solution
In the midst of all the questions surrounding whether Katie Holmes will reprise her role as Rachel Dawes, we have been bombarded with continuity issues, and opinion on how past female characters have inexplicably disappeared from the franchise.
Being a stickler for continuity, if Katie Holmes doesn't return, I would not vote for a recast, just cuz it bugs me. But I don't want her character to not even be referenced if she doesn't return, either!
Here is my solution:
Reference that Rachel Dawes has been away on a trip or something; she never returns!
That's it! Have Harvey Dent step in when it's apparent that Rachel is gone, and then after we've forgotten about her, a big piece to the finally is her body being discovered in the river or something . . . a victim of The Joker! We wouldn't ever need to see Holmes, and if we did, they could possibly use archive footage from the first film re-cut (if that's legal).
Anyone else feel me on this one?

They don't even need to say anything. I wouldn't even care if they didnt mention her.
but that's the same thing they did w/ vicki vale! I think that when Batman compromises his identity, we should at least get an explanation as to why they left!!
Maybe Joker knows that Dawes can identify Batman, and that's why he captures/kills her . . .
that really doesn't bug you, hey? And you're supposed to be setting an example for me!! :D

Vicki Vale not there was different, becuase Batman ended with them as a happy couple.
Begins ended with Bruce and Rachel *breaking up* a "relationship" that wasn't really active in the first place. You don't NEED to explain her not being in the sequel... AT ALL... because the end of the last movie did it.
She doesn't actually need to be dead to not be in the films anymore. She doesn't need to even be mentioned again.

of course she has to be mentioned. Sure she ended the realtionship, but by no means did she quit her job in the DA. I mean Bruce Wayne shows up to meet this new Dent fellow and oh, where the flop is rachel?

She wasn't the DA, she was an assistant DA. There's no reason to say she quit that job - she could still have it and we just never see her, or she could just not have it (got a different job, moved somewhere else).
Neither of the above possibilities is in desparate need of being explained on-screen. Sure, they could be, a line of dialogue wouldn't hurt, but they don't need it, and you *definitely* don't need to go as far as killing her off to explain her absence.

I think Rachel Dawes should return. Alot of people are suggesting that she disappear from the franchise and just have a short little mention. That's the thing thats always bothered me about the other batman films. The love interest always "disappears" out of no where and thats it...we forget about her? It's like in the Bond films where he gets a new love interest in every different film.
Rachel Dawes is the assistent DA. She is passionate about cleaning the corruption from Gotham and is one of the few allies Batman has at this point in the franchise. It would make no sense that she disappears, especially when Gotham is at it's most difficult. This is the after math of the ra's reaking havoc on Gotham. People are recovering from the effects of the fear gas. There are still inmates from arkam that need to be captured and brought back. Harvey Dent becomes the new DA. Most importantly, there is some dude running around, killing people and calling himself the Joker. This is a transistional period. I hardly think that Rachel Dawes herself would be absent from this.
yes some people might say that nolan could kill her off...1...2...3. but this dissatisfies me. I think it would be better not to kill her off.

The movies are about Batman... not Rachel Dawes.... she is probably working behind the scenes doing her job... the film won't portray it however... and there is no reason to...it's not essential to have her... bring in a Talia instead to spice things up... no one will miss her... as far as continuity... the core cast is already there... and I see no reason to explain why she left or quit...cutting five minutes of screentime for an explanation is a waste (Ya Ya she was so important in Begins but this is Hollywood and they don't have time to explain everyone's life story in a two hour movie)... ITS OKAY TO ASSUME THINGS IN Trilogies... writers don't have to be so blatantly obvious and explain every damn event that transpired between to two films (they leave it for audiences to interpret... go figure)... maybe she'll have a cameo later on like the chick from Jurassic Park 1 had in 3... i thought that was kind of cool... maybe in the third movie (barring if Katie doesn't get fat and ugly after bearing Tom's children)... ... but the explanation has already been given for her absence... As far as allies... Batman has Gordon and Alfred and they nailed those two down nicely in Begins...

I think rachael should stay but something happens to her in the film. But, instead of the joker killing her like sarah essen. Instead have him kidnap her and drive her insane some how. So by the end of the film it's pretty dark. Gordon is grieving over Essen and feels guilty for being tempted to cheat on his wife. Batman is guilty for both parties and feels like he's causing more damage then he is helping the city. Dent is exhibiting the evil inside him. What do you think?

I think having Essen in this movie will be too much.
We've already got all Dent and Joker for sure, +this rachel storyline +maybe a new love interest for bruce +Mobster subplot +whatever's going on with Earle or Black Mask.

small tiny cameo. see her in passing really. no need to tie her up in the plot. just a nod to let everyone know "yes we didn't forget her, no she's not important so we're not going to give her a piece of the plot"
works out just fine and would give some satisfaction.
I think she may be back, but only for a little bit of the movie, just to finally get rid of her.
What I think should happen is they are living life as usual, and she goes out one night, and gets killed by the Joker.
This will spark Batman's anger, and will make for a great showdown between the two.

this has been said 100 times and it still isnt necessary. the fact that Batman and Joker are polar opposites is enough reason for Batman to seek out Joker. and theyve touched on the whole justice vs. vengeance/ "you killed my loved one" theme 3 of out the 5 movies already.
and theyve touched on the whole justice vs. vengeance/ "you killed my loved one" theme 3 of out the 5 movies already.
That is quite true . . . but Rachel was Batman's voice of reason, so to speak when he was yonger . . . this gives more weight to her death if Joker kills her, as it's not just a death of convenience . . . like the Joker killing Batman's parents in BM '89

Bruce should try and convince Rachel to go into hiding after recieving info that Crane is still at large in Gotham (or the now released Falcone is sending death threats).

I think in the end it may be that they somehow have to write out a minor explination of her leaving Gotham. Like maybe she couldnt take the madeness the city had become and seeing Bruce fight as Batman every night or something like that.

in all honesty i didnt think she was too bad at all, certainly not Natalie Portman in the prequels bad!
I can see the argument for her being a joker victim, but if we want a happy ending to the trilogy (not saying i do) then she is the only charatcer who links bruce to his pre-trauma days, perhaps the third film could end with bruce reconciling who he is with who he was and finally going off with Rachel...
Besides, i think gordons fam (sounds cruel i know) are better Joker fodder

Either don't mention her or kill her off. Her character is really useless. It's time Harvey Dent comes in as the D.A. and it's time a new love interest comes in for Bruce. Whether she be a woman he can have on his arm, or an actual love interest, doesn't matter, it's time for Bruce to move on away from Rachel.

I posted this on the other Racheal Dawes thread too...
I quote Miss Rawes, "Maybe someday when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see (Bruce) again"... what other explanation do you need... are audiences so dumb that they need an explanation to every little detail in a movie trilogy... producers do this to raise speculation... leave it open for possibilities... now that it looks like Katie won't be back... why go through recasting to further confuse a movie with another unecessary plot distractions that will just eat up valuable screen time... why complicate the Joker/Batman conflict (not that it wouldn't work but if it doesn't...) by Joker killing Rachael... just move on already... I'd much rather see Selina (KATE BECKINSALE GOD DAMMIT) or Talia (Keira Knightley) than the same boring actress Katie Holmes...

Rachel's scene at the end seemed like a formal goodbye to the character, so I guess you're right.

05-24-2006, 12:44 AM
the way to make her character significant is to have her die at the hands of the Joker. When that happens it will cause Bruce to go through another level of psychological scarring. It will be another test to him...

ha, that's good idea about setting up for catwoman but they should also introduce Harvey Dent not Two-Face until the next movie. This way they can show the bond each character has, like Selina Kyle with Bruce and then Bruce being hurt when he finds out she's catwoman. Also the truce between Batman, Dent, and Gordon and that friendship being destroyed when Dent Becomes Two-Face.:up:

im sorry. not to rag on ur suggestion, but batman really needs to keep his identity a secret in these movies. 89- joker kinda knew ("i was a kid when i killed your parents"), returns- unmasked himself in front of everyone, forever- villains probed his mind, begins- ra's knew and he basically told rachel. batman is alot better than that.
and ive said in like 20 posts already, we dont need joker to kill rachel for batman to hate him. the simple fact that hes a maniacal genius and theyre polar opposites is reason enough. it would take like 5 movies all starring joker to bring their relationship to where it is in the comics and thats just not gonna happen.

Well if you think about it, Bruce Wayne and James Bond are kind of similar. Both dress in fancy clothes, have access to high-tech gadgets and are real players, gigolos or whatever you wanna call it with the ladies. That's what distinguishes Wayne from other superhero alteregos, he doesn't have a Lois Lane or Mary Jane Watson-type consistent love interest. Anyway, since it doesn't look like Katie Holmes is doing anything these days after Tom Cruise brainwashed her, just get a different female character actually from the comics (Vicki Vale, Julie Madison, Talia Al Ghul, Catwoman, etc).

but it is a good way to strengthen their hatred towards each other, killing Dawes that is. When Joker killed Robin in the comics, that strengthened the hatred in Batman towards the Joker....... the Joker needs to show his homocidal madness in this movie, and I think the best way would be for him to kill a main character from the first movie, IMO

I think Rachel should come back not in the next film but maybe the third and realize that Bruce's job as Batman will never stop, and that there will always be something else he has to fight around the corner. That to me is a logical way to go with the character.

First off, don't recast her. Katie Holmes is Rachel Dawes. Having another actress (let's say Jennifer Connelly) take her place would be stupid when they can just hire Connelly (or whatever actress they choose) to play a different character. I like continuity, and lack of continuity pisses me off. I mean, who really gave a crap about Nick Stahl in T3 when it wasn't Eddie Furlong playing John Connor?
As for Joker killing Rachel, I do not see it happening. Two-Face gets scarred by the Joker, yes, (by the way, I can't believe Goyer has actually told us that) but I think the combination of the two sequences would be way too dark for the sequel. Not that I don't want BB2 to be dark, but I feel Nolan wouldn't take it that far.

I hope is not one scene. the problem with batman is that in every movie they show up a new love interest. Why not keep the same one? Rachel is a very interesting character that can be developed greatly if it done right....is time to break the rules, no more new loves iterest!!! unless they bring another one to create a bizarre love triangle.......that's interesting, apart from that, enough!!!

I did. Especially since Stahl sucked really bad.
No, man. I think what he's saying is that nobody actualy cared for the character after the cast change. It wasn't Furlong, so it didn't feel like the same character, so you didn't feel for him as much.

then......if they are going to bring a new female lead, it should be strong, modern, smart, not so much of the damsel in distress, and STICK WITH HER FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES!!!!!!! If they keep bringing a new one in every sequel, its gonna be like James bond, and I dont want that to happen!!!

No, it's based on her poor acting skills. And with such a cast around her, it is specially noticeable.

:confused: I can't find the fault I know a lot of people see in her acting... trust me, i've heard that complaint all last year... but I thought she did very well with the role. She delivered the "it's not who you are underneath" line a lot better than bale, that's for sure.

I've seen better girls on the net, no clothes at all and I don't have to watch them acting badly for 2 hours. Just a tip.
Hey i got an idea!!!!! Why they don't recast her??? i gonna make a thread about this...
yeah . . . why'd you have to go and make not one, but two threads when we have a perfectly good one here that I made? I mean, we can make fun of your assinine opinions just fine on this one!!
Please read my first post dude, we've extensively talked about recasting . . . . and it's more of a last-ditch effort
Plus, why recast when Joker is just going to off her in the next one anyway?

I think people are making to big a deal out of this... I don't like the fact that Btman is Bond with all these girls but why bring her back when they broke up... maybe have the Joker kill her then she'd need a major role... hence can't do it without Katie... move on... it doesn't need any more explanations

Thats Right B****es!!
I don't know why I'm not hearing rumors over at BOF about catwoman being introduced into the movie...I want catwoman to be the love interest...not only that but we'd have one kick a** female!!!
I would like to keep Rachel Dawes in the movie though....to have her compete with the affection of Bruce...it could be a good story
