Maggie in Gotham City

Have to admit, I was surprised at the Batman director's decision to select Maggie Gyllenhaal to reprise Katie Holmes' role of "Rachel" in the Batman series. While I'm definitely a fan of the offbeat, indie film star, I certainly did not expect this blockbuster breakout. With all the press surrounding this long awaited final performance of Heath Ledger, the older Gyllenhaal is basking in the spotlight this month. In the August issue of Marie Claire, Maggie dishes about life, motherhood, and life after Ledger.
