Batman Begins Andrea Beaumont instead of Rachel Dawes...

Rachel's role was useless but Andrea would be even worse, she'd be incidental to the rest of the film
 
I think of female characters as delays until we get Catwoman in the movie. I'm already satisfied with MotP, we don't need another Andrea.
 
Bad idea. As said, the "problem" with the Rachel Dawes character lay in how her role was written, not in the name or the fact she wasn't a character from the comics (or BTAS)...

The second you introduce the female lead as "Andrea Beaumont", you HAVE to do the Phantasm story arc, which is what all fans would expect (and deserve). That option probably never even dawned to Nolan (why would it?), so there's no reason he should have named this character Andrea Beaumont.

Her story was told perfectly in MOTP, why retread that in a new film??

So much truth in this post. It shouldn't have to be at the bottom of the page.
 
Both characters are drawn from the same source - Rachel Caspian from "Batman: Year Two." The only difference is that Paul Dini just did a better job adapting that character from it's dreck-surroundings.
