Maggie Gyllenhaal has a message for fans: I’m no Katie Holmes.

The critically acclaimed actress — who is taking over Holmes’ role in the Batman series — has startled some in Hollywood by distancing herself from Tom Cruise’s wife, who received lukewarm reviews for “Batman Begins.”

“I’m not walking into Katie Holmes’ performance,” Gyllenhaal said, reports WENN. “I’m thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who’s alive and smart. Chris (Nolan the director) asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress.”

Gyllenhaal, who usually sticks to indie films, will play the role of Rachel Dawes in the next installment of the Batman series, “The Dark Knight.”


I'm not a fan of Holmes, but Maggie ain't no great shakes either. And this role isn't all that deep to begin with. She's the disposable love interest. The end.


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
