A while ago reports surfaced that the Powers That Be behind the upcoming Christopher Nolan-helmed “Batman Begins” sequel (aka “The Dark Knight”) had decided to dump Katie Holmes while still retaining her character from the original movie, and that a replacement was being looked for. Now Katie Holmes, perhaps getting the same advice that hubby Tom Cruise got when Paramount ditched him, claims she “turned down an offer to reprise the role of assistant district attorney Rachel Dawes”. Obviously this is politics and a face-saving measure. I highly doubt that Holmes “turned down” a chance to star in a guaranteed blockbuster (and thus hyping her own movie career) because of unresolved contract negotiations, just as no one believes Tom Cruise when he said he parted ways with Paramount on his own accord.
But in any case, while I kind of like the news that Holmes won’t be back for “The Dark Knight” (come on, let’s face it, she just doesn’t fit in the dark world of Batman; for Christ’s sake, she was on “Dawson’s Creek”!!!), I still like Katie the person. Then again, it could just be the hormones talking. To wit:
