  • @xxxaragon I wouldn't use the term "hot" since I'm a girl (100% straight... Now and then lol just kidding) but she is definitely prettier than Katie Holmes.

  • I just can't be the only who thinks that Maggie is WAY hotter than Katie Holmes.

  • @xxxaragon Anyone who seriously thinks she's ugly is either gay or retarded. Nuff said!

  • family guy said it best

    maggie:"im more unacctractive to put in ta lead role"

  • why was she cast!! shes ugly and annoying

  • @3rixtat3 gay?

  • Maggie was better than Katie, IMHO

  • Katie couldn't play Rachel because she was pregnant. I think Maggie did a really good job

  • she's with harvey dent's character so no need for chemistry with bruce wayne!

  • who cast maggie in this movie? she is fucking ugly

  • @lobelia2 Because she's great actress!!! way better than that katie holmes!

  • Katie is a horrible actress anyway. Why mention Katie? :-/ Maggie is a much, much, much better actress. She's in a completely different league than Katie "Dawson's Creek" Holmes.

  • Didn't buy her in the role as she lacked chemistry with Christian. Her death did't have enough impact.

  • I meant that not everybody keeps a role.

  • A role is never kept in a Batman movie series.

  • Has anyone thought about how she actually felt in the 'always smiling' scene, cause for sure im sure she actually freaked out... who wouldnt in a situation there, cause what if Heath though about going the whole way, getting stuck in the act and making it real.. cause he was a super fantastic actor and surely she was convinced... I wonder if there is a interview with her about that.. how she really felt in that scene; was she truely scared and did she think of cutting the scene in the moment?

  • Great interview, looks like the interviewer did some research and put in some thoughts for the questions

  • Haha! Who is this interviewer? Funny.

    Oh and Maggie's so great!

  • What i like is that Chris never put alot of emphasis on this girl. Unlike shitty transformers and that ugly chick. CHRIS NOLAN 4 LIFE !

  • maggie IS hot. what the fuck ???

  • I FUCKIN HATE MAGGIE GYLLENHALL SHE A STUPID FUCKIN ANNOYING BITCH

  • Well Bruce i am very sorry that Rachel was killed but don't worry because in about a year from now you'll meet a new woman named Selina Kyle and you'll forget all about Rachel, but i can assure you that you will NOT forget about Selina.

  • "Well hello beautiful"

  • Maggie is good. Like real good. But Katie could have done something because Rachel is a most interresting character in The Dark Knight.

    Damn you, Tom fuckin Cruise !

  • The Bronze Age Huntress was Helena Wayne, the daughter of the Batman and Catwoman. A trade paperback collection entitled The Huntress: Darknight Daughter was published in December 2006. It collects DC Super Stars #17 and stories from Batman Family #18 - 20, as well as the backup stories from Wonder Woman #271 - 287, #289 - 290 and #294-295. they say this movie will be the last batman movie so i think nolan will revive helena to continue the bloodline/story.

  • Taylor (fuckin') Swift.. - She writes her own role this time!

  • too bad she dies i rather of harvey die :(

  • In Batman Begins, I was quite happy for Rachel to be blown up.

    In The Dark Knight, I was extremley sad/shocked when she got blown up.

    Maggie>>>>Katie

  • @xBellatrixLestrangex mags fugly though

  • @Chan3lprincess16 *rolls eyes* yeah. cos you're probably sooo much better looking...

  • I liked it alot, was interesting from beggining till end. Good acting and great music. watch now at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • fugleeh

  • @TheColococo yup

  • maggie is such a cutie pie :)

  • LOL she reminds me so much of Annette Bening!

  • Anyone who says Maggie isn't pretty has the most unrealistic standards of what pretty is.

  • @jazzmatik Dude... she's not pretty. Not every girl has to look like Megan Fox, but Maggie is definitely not what "normal" girls look like. She's just plain haggard and looks like my great, great, grandfather.

  • Comment removed

  • @jamn805 Fuck off.

  • Her voice is really haunting.

    In a good way.

  • wow you people are harsh!

    why cant you like both katie and maggie?

  • maggie was way better than katie. katie sucked

  • i think maggie is sooo ugly

  • I liked both of them as Rachel. Katie would have been nice for the continuity but she was a little too nice and cute looking to play Rachel in my opinion, Maggie looks a little more capable, and less damsel in distress.

  • C'mon Maggie is gorgeous! and i think shes a waaay better actress than Katie. Jeez how can you people put her down!? I don't see you people in that chair!

  • Bleh, it's hard to see a newly casted lead a tenth as beautiful.  If the sequel took place a decade later it'd make more sense. I almost wish they wrote Rachel out of the script instead of having this hack. Her brother with a wig would of been sexier.

  • Maggie Gyllenhall did a great job. WAY better than Katie Holmes. Katie didn't seem to care about bruce wayne at all in that film. The way she played the role was very tacky. Maggie added a lot of depth to her character. When her character died I felt like something was missing and the whole film escalated from that moment on. I am pretty sure Katie would not have been able to pull that off in an effective way. kudos to Maggie!

  • Maggie Gyllenhall should never be more then the main characters "best friend"

  • holmes was better

    gyllenhall's acting was just as stiff, she's overrated as an actress

    Bale & Gyllenhall had no chemistry

    Jake Gyllenhall is hotter than her she is beat!

  • Maggie worst part of TDK. If only Katie finish her role.

  • haha this is the second interview iv heard the interviewer say 'rock n roll' at the end. lol

  • Except she is failing at plastic surgery. Terrible, these actresses need to stop fuckin with their natural looks.

  • I love her so much. She is the best actress in last 10 years. And her beauty is smashing me up

  • LOL I love the first question, her real answers should have been "worried, worried, I was taking over Katie Holmes! did I was surprised shes still around"

  • I wish Katie stayed around too even if her part was wasted and just killed off. Maggie was so miscast. Katie and Bale hit off and Maggie failed in the chemistry course.

  • are maggie and jake twins?

  • Maggie looks so adorable with her hair like this!!!

  • Katie is an irregular actress. I hated her performance at Begins' ending. It's almost embarrasing. I would like her for the second one for the continuity, but she's so stupid that she didn't want. OK.

    Maggie isn't pretty? Ok. It's not a movie about hot girls, it's a movie about people. I believe Maggie's Rachel more than Katie's. With her job, she has to be a hard woman. I think this was the reason for Nolan to cast her instead a just-pretty girl.

  • @ChrisRedfield08 What are you talking about, Maggie is way prettier then Katie

  • @ChrisRedfield08 well i agree in all what you said except that Maggie is not pretty i think she is pretty

  • @ChrisRedfield08 First off, Maggie is VERY pretty in my eyes. So is Katie Holmes. But I do think that Katie Holmes had that hard-edge vibe that an attorney has more than Maggie did. I think Katie was a much better Rachel Dawes.

  • @ChrisRedfield08 she doesn't have to be supermodel hot, but it's difficult to believe that bruce wayne would fall for her. but it's not just that, maggie always looked so bored as rachel. katie holmes may not be great but she had more life in the role. maggie didn't even look scared when the joker had his knife in her mouth!

  • @ChrisRedfield08 Although Maggie isnt stunning she is still pretty in some sense and yes i agree with you that he cast her for this role because she is a normal type of woman but i dont think nolan mainly choose her for this role because she is unattractive and he though it would suit the character but because he found her personallity intriguing and representative. Not everything in the world balances on who is good looking or not it is what you do, how you present yourself and who you are.

  • @TheCrazedLorry98 the both of you guys are wrong.. Katy was suppose to return, but she chose to be in "Mad Money" instead. Unfortunately, this world is very biased in terms on looks. If you disagree, that tells me you're insecure about your looks and in denial. Movies of all things are discriminatory in terms of looks. It all depends on that, your name and if you can act good enough. That's why Katy got the part. You're not going to change actresses because someone else can act better....

  • Tom Cruise was just pissed he wasn't Batman.

  • katie was definitely a better rachel

  • No, she got fired....but the "official" story to allow her to save face was that she made a choice not to participate. Nolan knew - as well as everyone else - that Holmes was the weak link in the first film, which is why she got canned. That said, much as Holmes sucks, I would have preferred to have some continuity. Gyllenhaal is a great actress, but I didn't link her to the character from the first movie, which sucks....

  • @BigMojoDevil Oh right so thats why she got fired? because she was shit as the character of rachel??

  • @BigMojoDevil I agree. I hate discontinuity in casting! It really gets under my skin. As much as I think Katie was miscast in the first film I would want her in the second for continuity. I'm not sure if she got fired though. Why would Nolan fire her? You think he'd rather fire her and have discontinuity in his own films?

  • @jazzmatik Katie asked to be let out of her contract in order to make another film which clashed in shooting with Dark Knight.

  • @jazzmatik I agree, discontinuity sucks. But sometimes it's inevitable. Like during the filming of Revolutions when Gloria Foster (the Oracle) died that really really sucked. She was incredible. But the Wachowski Bros. worked around the story-line to make sense of why she wasn't there. Some people see that as dis-respectful, Nothing wrong with the story being tweaked in order to make more sense. It wouldn't be dis-respectful to re-cast The Joker either. Heath would have wanted that. R.I.P.

  • why the hell did they use two different chicks to play rachel? its damn annoying! anyways i liked the rachel better in the dark knight.

  • Katie was the better Rachel

  • Both women did well in their own movie.

    Katie was Bruce's girl (most chemistry) and Maggie was a strong woman who kept Bruce at a distance and had a relation with someone else.

  • The Katie Maggie trade was very very bad. Katie's personality,acting,face and chemistry was right for the role and movie.

  • Katie was the inspired choice and had more chemistry with Christian Bale!

  • maggie is a butterface

  • Between her and Katie definitely Katie.

  • maggies better dude.

  • youve got a weird tast in women if she is even a women!

  • MG turned out to be a disappointment. Katie fit the character like a glove.Its easy to believe Bruce and Harvey love her and would fight for her. Holmes and Bale have equal footing and their chemistry is right.

  • Katie made me believe in Rachel Dawes also the relationship and tenderness with her and Bruce. Mags cant act and she was hard to look at.

  • in my opinion, maggie is attractive, but shes no rachel nichols obviously... the point of TDK isn't like James Bond where Bruce needs to get with some hot brod... now in TDK sequel I would LOVE to see Harley Quinn as the new villain, it just makes sense, lead off of the Joker with his "sidekick"/ lover. Seeing as Heath passed away i hope that they dont bring the joker back becuase that would ruin it all for me, instead have him murdered in arkham or something and then have Harley tell her story

  • Katie made a great Rachel! PLUS---SHE'S HOT and HAD REAL CHEMISTRY WITH BALE!!

  • step down from Katie

  • no way! Maggie's much better!

  • Im lol at the interviewer. How is Rachel in TDK a stronger woman? Because she's not scared of the joker? Look at how she's acts as a D.A., she's not a true friend to Bruce,I sense the fliratious tease on this Rachel clone, how is she strong when she plays and misleads with two men? she also acts so self-righteous.

  • Nolan is not good writing women and Im lol as a woman that Nolan and Maggie are proud of their ideas for Dawes. Rachel in Begins was not perfect but at least her history with Bruce,her integrity,her ideals for Gotham were strong. Also she's on par being a moral center. In TDK she's a disgrace. The ballet dancer was more smarter than Rachel and if she's a lady she will not kiss Bruce while being Harv's gf.

  • Lastly audience see the friendship and love between Holmes and Bale from BB. In BB Rachel confessed her love,loyalty and pride for Bruce. Maggie just acts cold and cruel all the time. Why does she strut sexily in the balcony or sashay her six and hips interrogating Lau? That's not Rachel Dawes.Her hero and bff is in a crisis & so is Gotham but she's always flirty,smiley and oh so smug.

  • I agree completely, I don't understand people who prefer Gyllenhaal's Rachel to Katie Holmes'. I'm not a huge fan of Katie Holmes myself but she definitely made a better Rachel Dawes than Maggie IMO

  • 1st- TPTB and Maggie's acting kept hammering that she is hot and sexy when she is not.

    2nd-the romance was butchered by Maggie by her dud acting,no chemistry and distracting face. Her version totally devoid of intelligence,morals,heart,pers­onality.

    3rd- continuity is gone.

    4th-emotional core butchered up.If Katie stayed tears are shed because of the audience connection. This is why many feel its ruined and its not just her ugly face.

  • Many polls and boards are onto Katie now and some of Katie's critics end up on her side because Maggie let them down.Holmes and Bale's chemistry was right. Katie has quality and likeability demeanor as Rachel. MG acted obnoxious while Katie's Rachel was sweet and virginlike.

  • OHH fantastic to shed some light...many people love Katie and even the media are obsess and fascinated by her. Women follow her style and haircut,her Broadway Arthur Miller was no.1(gave good economy to NY), her dancing gig in Fox was BIG ratings beating Obama's news conference.

  • why do people make an excuse for maggie? rachel dawes could've had one line and maggie still should have given her best. it doesnt matter if rachel was "underwritten". maggie has no fucking clue who rachel dawes is. she even changed the character for goodness sake! katie IS rachel dawes.

  • I don't understand what makes people think Maggie made the better Rachel. Katie WAS Rachel Dawes. Maggie did a good job but it's still two actresses and two different performances. She actually changed her to 'make it her own' and I don't feel like that's Rachel -who was an original char. in Nolan's movie so the only reference is the 1st actress who played her. I don't get how people can say MG did a better job.

  • -PART 2-

    It's just that in general people hate Katie I guess, so whoever actress replaces her is better.

  • Holmes shouldn't have ditched the project because she's meant for the role and meshes well with Bale's Batman and Bruce Wayne. Its easy to believe two men are in love with her.

  • Comment removed

  • I miss Katie in the bat sequel and no contest Katie fits the role and had chemistry with the actors most of all Bale.

    There I said it.

  • I totally agree! I know a lot of people think that Katie Holmes is a horrible actress but I think she did a good job playing Rachel.

    And she totally had chemistry with Bale! (Maggie as Rachel just seemed weird to me and she did not seem like the superhero love interest type :S)

  • I do think she wasn't that good in this movie.

  • She doesnt deserve this coz she looks old

  • mother fucker she is damn ugly...................hollywo­od producer shit try VERY VERY VERY hard to convince us that you can polish a TURD..................FUGLY cunt we didnt buy it MSSSS melting face did u notice..........FO hollywood try try again............ maggie u r very fuckin pukkie go away & melt!!!!!!! PS take the producing money & go !!!!!!! love ya !!!!!! not

  • Mm, why are you angry? In Hollywood actresses get replaced so what? Beside Katie Holmes did not wanted to reprise her role as Rachel - don't let your anger out Maggie. In fact Maggie is one of the few people in Hollywood that are truly interested in making movies that matter. To say someone "ugly", please maybe you should post a picture of yourself and have other judge you like you judge Maggie.

  • she screwed up the movie with her bunkness, i know the director was looking for the an awe inspiring event when batman saved harvey dent rather than her... but i actually felt relief when i did the math and realized she couldnt screw any future batman movies up.. anyone know who else was up for the role of rachel? im guessing they casted an ugly rachel so it wouldnt piss the audience off when she had to die.

  • "Dark Knight" center around the batman & joker character - Rachel is a supporting character. How can her being in the film, screw up the film?It's clear to say that you don't know much about any Batman Movie or movie making at all. Because the main attention in "Dark Knight" is Heath Ledger performance - before you judge a whole movie maybe educate yourself - but I assume your like what 10 year kid who has no life, sit on the computer all day?

  • you know shit about shit. the audience doesnt want to see a 10 get dusted. that was my only point. but since you decided to talk shit. heath ledger was over rated, anyone that acts crazy with crazy make up is going to get a little recognition. and much more if they die. you have the word "films" in your screen name and you tried to berate me for my ugly maggie comment. Film student? obviously not a critic or you would have known all this. And if you want to go some more hit me up so i can own u

  • Hi - Cruiseweight77 - I'm not a film student - I'm a producer - filmmaker, my screen - name "tmausfilms" is my production company.

    I'm just wondering if you don't like Maggie work, why do you watch her clips here you tube?Why do you post negative comments on her?

  • (A) shes ugly and IT FUCKS UP THE MOVIE (B) because its fun to haggle with douchebags like you on meaningless bullshit.... now go produce a movie no one will ever go see.

  • Well, cruieserweight77 - It's sad to hear that your only having fun by posting negative comments online. There's more to life than to judge people that you see in Movies.But I guess you don't have much of a life when you leave your computer or? That's kind of sad cause life is short and to waste it on judging people you don't even know - well what I can I say, if that's what makes you happy.

  • Maggie missed the strength,moral scope,grace and heart Katie had. You're sold with the friendship and romance with Holmes and Bale whereas Maggie hinders it. Her smiley and flirty acting was UnBatman and Ungothamlike.

  • I think the joker was lying to her when he said "well hello beautiful"

    I tried to make her out as pretty but she was just so unattractive to me in the movie.

  • ...and thats why ra killed him

  • I liked both Maggie and Katie. I liked Katie better though because of her spunk and showed a lot more facial expression than Maggie did.

    What's sad is that I'll probably get thumbs down for my opinion because I didn't make Maggie sound like she was just as good, if not better than Christian, Heath or Aaron.

  • The only drawback in The Dark knight was Maggie and the consensus when part 2 came out was that Rachel fit the role and sizzled with Christian Bale.

  • Katie didnt my eyes in IMAX and Blu-Ray plus she's a perfect gf for Bale's Batman. Her Rachel brought an emotional moral anchor for Batman. Maggie was more like a bouncy,slutty,happy D.A. out of place in Gotham City.

  • Katie made a natural Rachel Dawes. The role was afterall written by Goyer and Nolan with Katie in mind.

    Her chemistry with Bale was real no matter Cruise was a bit threatened.

  • Maggie was great in the Dark Knight. Katie was also good. In humanity, there needs always be some kind of competition entitled to everyones opinions! Both actresses were great. Maggie Gyllenhall is pretty good, look at all the great movies she's done! Like, Donnie Darko for example, where she not only played the role of Elizabeth Darko, his sister, but she really is Jake Gyllenhall's sister! And you know what? Both actresses are great, but every single person is always so demanding and stubborn.

  • I agree both actresses a great, however suited for different roles. Maggie's Rachel was not my favorite, I think she took away something from the character by trying to make totally her own as she clearly admitted and unfortunately it did not work so well.

  • damn this bitch ruined an otherwise perfect movie. damn you bitch i hate you

  • I disagree. I believe Maggie took the role of Rachel to exactly where she needed to be. Katie Holmes was too passive as Rachel. Maggie had the right level of intensity and aggressiveness.

  • Maggie's a good actress but somehow, she didn't seem the part of Rachel Dawes. I would've much preferred to see Amy Adams or Rachel Weisz in this role.

  • hot

  • Holmes has sweetness and element of class

  • Bad substitute for Katie

  • Katie brought class/grace to the character and you're sold Bruce and Harv loves her not in the case w/ Mags!

  • I feel that Maggie Gyllenhaal was better for the role of Rachel Dawes... Katie Holms was kinda distant and awkward in the first movie, but maybe that has something to with the script, I dunno.

  • Make mine Katie Holmes<3

  • The common complaint was Maggie and she acted like the Secretary and Sherrybaby which was degrading. Where was the inner and outer beauty by Katie?

    The moral compass was gone.

  • trash

  • I LOVE Maggie SOOOO much more then Katie Holmes. When Katie played Rachel I had no respect for the character at all.  I thought of her a whiney, pretty little idiot Batman had a thing for. Really, I wanted her out of his life. But when Rachel played the part I fell in love with her character, I cried when she died.

    And ok no, she's not as gorgeous as Katie, but is that really the point? Are any of the people making these comments actors themselves, how do you know what good acting is?

  • I'm personally fine with either actress having played Rachel Dawes, but they should have used the same person for both movies. Changing an actor or voice actor is always incredibly disappointing, at least for me, it takes away from the character.

  • yes she is.

  • Errrm no offence or anything but i dont understand how she was cast for the role of Rachel. She isnt amazingly ugly but shes not exactly 'beautiful' as the Joker would put it :L She looks way too old for any of the guys in the film and her part sucked anyway. I was so happy when she got blown up haha

  • why not use katie holms in the dark knight, when they used her in batman begins?? ive always wonderd

  • Katie was the right Batman lady. People cheered when Maggie exploded especially a bad actress like her. Her ugly face matches her ugly personality and what a witch to think America deserves Sept.11

  • that is not what she said

  • she failed in the role; Katie was Rachel Dawes and ignited well with Bale.

  • she did a great job, she made the character really wise and down-to-earth... I really love her! but...what is she wearing here? it looks like a curtain :D she's way to beautiful for this

  • What did she do to her hair D:

    She looked better with longer hair. am i right?

  • she is the main downfall of the dark knight...the only other downfall is the scene which batman jumps out the window to catch rachel, but leaves the joker up at the penthouse.....continuity?? why does the joker even leave?

  • Why the hell did they pick such an ugly actress for "Dark Knight"? She's a better actor than Katie Holmes, but those droopy eyes belong on a bassett hound. Nolan could have picked so many hotter A-list honeys - Scarlett Johanson, Jessica Alba, Reese Witherspoon. Was he fucking her on the side? Sorry, but I cant believe this woman is lusted after by Gotham's two most eligible bachelors. "Dark Knight" could have been one of the best movies of all time, but her looks knocked it down a notch.

  • I was really dissappointed when I realized Katie had been replaced with Maggie. Ruined the film a bit. Whenever she comes up I just immediately think "nope, she ain't good enough for Bruce" :( which I think is sad, because she film is a masterpiece.
