I must be the only Brother around who doesn't think Dawson is good looking (assuming that's part of your interest in her in the role). Aside from that, though, she has the acting chops to pull off being Bruce Wayne's best friend/love interest. I'd also love to see Charisma Carpenter get a stab at the role. I think she could play off Bale well.
Frankly, though, in terms of a leading lady for the next flick, I'm less interested in her romantic chemistry with Bale than her acting ability . One of the reasons I love "Batman Begins" is that it didn't have a standard love story. Holmes' character was obviously a romantic interest for Bruce, but it was done to add to the story, and we didn't have to suffer through a bunch of dating, etc., scenes. (The way "Batman" went overboard with Kim Bassinger as the love interest). So I'm looking at actresses with more of an eye to whether they can play a tough DA than whether they can swoon into Bats' arms prettily. -------------- Original message -------------- From: The Yokozuna Of Soul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I vote for Rosario Dawson. Because a scene with Christian Bale, Rosario Dawson and Morgan Freeman is worth my 9 dollars. Good to see that Katie has accepted her role as Kate Capshaw 2.0 and will leave the acting to professionals. I'm so mad that Tracey made a reference to TomKat.
