In the Dark Knight, Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. In her interview with Metro.co.uk, she talks about her role defending her character as a damsel in distress.

She said there are moments of that in the film but the director, Chris Nolan, would push her in other ways to make her character powerful. Gyllenhaal plays a lawyer who has real relationship with the people that she’s interacting with in the movie. She speaks of her character as a real rounded and smart person. She says further that since she is the girl in Batman, she’s definitely going to be a damsel in distress at some point; however, she has really great character (referring to her role).
