Maggie Gyllenhaal mentions Rachel Dawes

Christmas has been and gone, and, after getting our little trailer, gift wrapped in a preceding viral marketing campaign, we have all sat back and relaxed (whilst getting fat on chocolate). The Dark Knight news has since been sparse, not a lick of viral madness since Santa came around. Though you can guarantee that it will all kick off again as soon as we get a whiff of that next marketing scheme.
In the meantime, Maggie Gyllenhaal has been speaking with the British publication Metro about her role in the Batman flick (and also sexy underwear it seems):
Is your Batman character a damsel in distress?
There are moments of that. Chris Nolan, the director, would joke about how I had to resign myself to being a little bit of a damsel in distress but he pushed me in other ways to make her a powerful character. I play a lawyer and have real relationships with the people I’m interacting with in the movie. She’s very smart and a real rounded person. Of course, if you’re the girl in Batman, you’re going to be a damsel in distress to some extent but she’s a really great character. So many people I play are a mess; Rachel’s really clear about what’s important to her and unwilling to compromise her morals, which made a nice change.
