Rachel Dawes

Rachel Dawes is the childhood friend/love interest of Bruce Wayne. She is introduced in Batman Begins, directed by Christopher Nolan, and is played by Katie Holmes. She is a lawyer and Bruce's last connection to humanity. She learns that he is Batman and doesn't want the responsibility of keeping him grounded.

In the second installment of the Nolan trilogy, The Dark Knight, Rachel is played by Maggie Gyllenhaal. She's still one of the best lawyers in Gotham and is helping Harvey Dent aka Two-Face bring major crime bosses to justice. She still isn't interested in being Bruce Wayne's crutch (even though Bruce somehow think she'll wait for him...how and why???) But, like all good things, Rachel must come to an end.

It's unclear where, or if, we will see Rachel next, Maybe or maybe not Gotham (TV). But don't let that stop all of you from having a good week!
