IMHO, Katie Holmes BETTER marry Tom Cruise because

[elehhhhna]

one viewing of Batman Begins confirms that her acting is ATROCIOUS.

She ran the gamut from A to B. (Dorothy Parker)

1. Saw they just dumped her from the sequel...

3. Good.

6. I was thinking she could be killed off by Two-Face...

... after a brief relationship with another DA, Mr. Harvey Dent.

2. That movie needed neither her acting nor her character, really.

Batman doesn't need a girlfriend. He's complicated enough without one.

[Shell Beau]

7. But they want to appeal to females with a love story.

I don't need a movie to have a love story!

[HeeBGBz]

12. I'm female and found the love story a distraction

Liked Bruce much better sitting in the hotel pool with 2 floozies.

13. How many women said, "I'll see Batman Begins for the love story!"?

Yeah, none. I wish movie execs would figure that out one day.

4. Maybe it would help if she changed her name to Kate

[Shell Beau]

9. Tom already took care of that!!!

[truebrit71]

5. Ouch....they wanted a "much stronger actress"...

...hope she likes being Tom's beard...'cos that sounds like it's the only gig she's gonna have for a while... :-)

8. IMDB said today that everyone was resigned for the next Batman movie but..

...Katie. They weren't keen on her performance and all the unwanted publicity of her strange relationship with Cruise.

[jobycom]

11. They mentioned resigning Freeman and Caine

but not Oldman. Hope they get him, too. He was very interesting as Gordon.

10. Barely noticed her

I didn't think she was atrocious, I just thought the script had almost no use for her. I barely noticed her character in the movie. I guess they could have adjusted the script to downplay her, though. She couldn't keep up with that cast. A lot of actors or actresses couldn't, though. Heck, they had Ken Watanabe as a minor throwaway role.
