It's not that I mind the love interest aspect... at least when it works and has an importance to plot or character. I think it works well in the Spider-Man movies. I think it's pivotal to Superman. I'm just tired of all of them filling the exact same role. Being essentially helpless for so long just gets irritating to watch after a while. And I have to say that in Batman Begins, Rachel just didn't seem too terribly important. I think Katie Holmes did well, and there were a few good moments she had, but if the movie could be edited to cut out all of her scenes, I doubt you'd really miss her all that much.
