Nolan had a good idea for a female character and Katie was brilliant casting, but she married badly.
Instead of creating a new female lead, which would have been the easier thing to do, Nolan insisted (Too strong? It's not like he says "no" to himself.) on keeping Rachel played by the equally lovely Maggie Gyllenhaal making sure to sign the gal into a two picture deal. Maggs is locked.

Michelle Pfieffer & Halle Berry's characters both died before they were able to become Catwomen.

I always thought Pfieffer wasn't really "dead", but merely very badly injured. The movie never made it clear...
Amen! I'm still disappointed that Warner Bros.' potential The Flash movie with Reynolds and David S. Goyer fell through. Reynolds would have been perfect as Wally West.Agreed. And he isn't playing the one character he should: The Flash.
It's going to be pretty hard for Rachel Dawes to be Catwoman now that she's dead.

As much as I hate to say it, I just rewatched The Dark Knight the other day and noticed that the explosion that killed Rachel came from her right. We saw it blow her hair around, and then the scene cuts to the exterior of the building blowing up. We never see her in the explosion. We only see her next to the explosion. So there is a chance (an itty bitty one, mind you) that Rachel might be alive somewhere.
I don't really want her to be alive, but if they wanted to go in that direction, I think they could find a way to make it work.

What, she would be Rachel Two-Face?
If she was alive, I think that would certainly cut all sort of credibility from the franchise. It's a soap opera/comic book gimmick. Yes, I know it's a comic book movie, but Nolan has gone to great lengths to make this a credible world.
She's dead. The building that she was in exploded and burned.
Besides, where's the proof that Maggie was signed to two movies?
What's your opinions on the new wave of comic book movies
I'd like to see a slew of films copying Avatar instead. Like that John Carter of Mars film in works. Less superheroics, more planetary romance, please!Do they just need to stop?
There's also this...Well, not really, but he is playing both Deadpool and the Green Lantern.
it's not true. their still writing the Deadpool movie and GL is in production.
