Katie Holmes and Christian Bale in Batman Begins
Great movie, but unconvincing chemistry between Christian Bale as Batman and Katie Holmes as his love interest, prosecutor Rachel Dawes.
In the final scene when Rachel comes to tell Bruce Wayne she can’t be with him as he’s sifting through the burned out rubble of Wayne manor, the spark is all but non-existent. Neither of them seem heartbroken at all over breaking up, which is weird considering he just saved her life twice and revealed his secret identity to her.
Bale’s chemistry with the next actress who played Rachel, Maggie Gyllenhaal, in 2008’s The Dark Knight was a lot more believable, as was his chemistry with Marion Cotillard as Talia al Ghul and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
