Katie Holmes has turned down a $2 million deal to star in the sequel to 'Batman Begins'.
The actress was expected to reprise her role as Rachel Dawes alongside caped crusader Christian Bale for 'Batman: The Dark Knight' but has pulled out because of "scheduling conflicts".
Rumors have already circulated that Katie has been replaced by 'Wedding Crashers' actress Rachel McAdams for the comic-book adventure, also starring Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Katie has instead signed up to star alongside Queen Latifah in the comedy 'Mad Money'.
The movie - to be directed by Callie Khouri - follows three female janitors working at the Federal Reserve who plot a major heist.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' actress' move into comedy is believed to be part of her plan to re-launch herself, following her career break to marry Tom Cruise and have their daughter, Suri.
However, film insiders have suggested she has been struggling to find work because of her controversial conversion to her husband's Scientology faith.
A source said: "Studios may be gun-shy if her new status as a tabloid fixture. And her expectations may be raised as the new Mrs Cruise. Stars of much bigger stature, including Meg Ryan and Demi Moore, have found it tough to regain their momentum after taking time off."

She dropped out of Batman II because she was the only thing that drug down the first one, as nearly every reviewer noted.
I doubt that future work will be hard to come by, but she should really stick to TV melodrama and romantic comedies -- places where actual acting is not required.
katie. im sorry sweetie that you are so young naive and bad guidance. batman was the movie that would have helped people remember your name 10 years from now as opposed to the former wife of tom cruise.
~Just prooves to show money doesn't necessarily = intelligence.
she sucks. batman will thrive without her.
Gee, we might all melt!
Hollywierd...!

I think Katie Holmes has no problen in finding a right role as an actress, her husband Tom Cruise, has a production and an owner of the movie company. She is big time. I know most of the article I read for the actresses are very untrue.
