This was posted today at BOF One of our recent Chicago scoopers (who will go unnamed) was able to confirm that Katie Holmes' character is "Rachel Dawes," not Dobson ============================== Thanks to Alan, sb, everyone who mentioned these Katie signings on the mb: From BOF I went to downtown Chicago last night to check out the Batman filming. My dad works a couple of blocks away and saw all the trailers during the week. I heard they were filming, so I decided to check it out. They filmed on the corner of Wacker and Franklin. It looked like an action sequence because there were a lot of GPD and SWAT cars and people. It looked as though they were protecting a girl. I am assuming it was Katie Holmes and confirmed it later when I saw her walking down the street. The production assistants don't let you get that close (we started a block away), but you can still see a lot. We took a turn down a nearby street and saw some cars that were covered in a tarp. We got closer and peeked under before a PA could yell at us. It was the Batmobile. Pretty small if you ask me, but very cool. We decide we wanted a close look at the action so we cut through a building to the other side and somehow nobody noticed (they have tons of cops and PA's guarding the area). We got nearer and we saw Katie Holmes in long trenchcoat. The SWAT guys seemed to be guarding her as she ran over a bridge. They did the scene over and over and over again for 3hrs. Chris Klein was also there watching. It was a pretty cool experience. I would encourage anyone else to go. I think they are filming tonite also. I heard a helicopter was supposed to be in the scene. ------------------- From SHH: I was an extra last night Sunday August 8th for Batman Begins. And everything everyone was saying about us is true so no need to retype but, Katie Holmes was there, her stand in was there more but she shot some dialogue while we running towards and over the bridge. WE were not escorting her though only the swat had control as reports of the bat were scaring gotham-ites. The bat is in the asylum which is located over the franklin bridge. Lots of running and exhaustion, for about 2 scenes but was damn worth it. ------------------- Another post from the SHH forum Taken Sunday 8/8 with a very cheap phone cam (as if that isn't self evident!) . Not only is she a total hottie, she is as down to earth as it comes. No fan fare, mingled with everyone like she was an everyday nobody. Maddeningly, the pic that was posted on that thread did not show up. Think they were just trying to drive us crazy ==================== AICN posted a pretty interesting interview with David Goyer (BB co-screenwriter) Click link below to access interview: David Goyer - AICN Thanks to katiejowitter for letting us know that IMDB is currently saluting "Hollywood Brunettes" and they included Katie: IMDb - Hollywood Brunettes
