Except that's not true.Except that she has always been the main love interest for Batman.
I just knew you would respond to my post though.

So much THIS.If I was biased shipper of fictional romances, yeah, maybe I could see it that way. But I'm not. And I don't.
Irrespective of whether Selina is his main love interest historically, in the context of Nolan's trilogy, once he'd decided that Bruce and Selina were going to end up together, a great deal of consideration should have been made to fully flesh out their relationship and make it believable. Although Bale and Hathaway's chemistry was great, the writing didn't back it up.
And honestly...it just needed one more scene. Something to tie them together and flesh out their romance/relationship beyond "I'm attracted to you".
- Talia's reveal and death
That would have been nice.-The overall rushed feeling throughout the entire film. Had it not been for the whole "ticking time bomb" narrative, I wouldn't have known months had passed. This was terrible in the Pit scenes with Bruce's broken back. I felt like had I not already known Bane's story from the comics, I never would've known he actually Broke the Bat.
-Talia, and everything about her. She didn't really feel like she had the dueling dynamic of hating and loving Bruce at once. She was just kinda reduced to a revenge-seeking woman.
-Crane. Seriously. What a way to shoe-horn in a bad guy. The whole Judge/Jury/Executioner role he was playing would've fit Two-Face a heck of a lot better.
-And, hate me if you must, I was desperately let down that they reduced Ra's al Ghul to a mere hallucination. I would've jumped out of my own skin if Josh Pence or Liam Neeson was shown in present day in some way.
Beyond that, I loved the film. Like, I was almost moved to tears in parts. It just solidified my belief that Chris Nolan is a certifiable genius.

That would have been nice, but what could he have cut out instead?

Pretty much any of their existing scenes could have been altered, I'd say it would need to be the one in her apartment. Less "My powerful friend" stuff, Dagget, Foley...
I loved Daggett but I can live without Foley. I wonder if the original 400 page script had more Bruce/Selina
^ Nolan just sucks at writing romance.
Irrespective?
I didn't like the "Robin" inference to the John Blake character. UGH.
