Batman Begins Harvey Dent in BB

[enygma]

Is it true that in an earlier script draft Nolan had HARVEY DENT IN A VERY SIMILAR ROLE TO RACHEL??? ie childhood friend, then you up an coming DA who could`nt be bought or frightend off???? I read this somewhere but apparently he changed the character of Dent to Dawes having come under pressure from WB to include a love interest. Also does anyone know where I could read any early script drafts as I am always interested in reading these things and finding out how a film may have turned out. Thanks.

She certainly seems a lot like a Harvey Dent character could be.

They made a HUGE mistake not putting Dent in Dawes' place. If the studio needed a love interest, why not choose from the dozens of female Batman characters in comic lore?

Red-headed Vicki Vale, Selina Kyle, Silver St. Cloud, Talia(makes sense with Al Ghul in the movie). Just to name a few.

They should have had Dent in Begins, to make us care more about him and his downfall.

What they should have done is make Dent the D.A.
