Maggie Gyllenhaal took a few pointed shots at Katie Holmes recently when asked about taking over as the lead female role in the next “Batman” movie.

“I’m not walking into Katie Holmes’ performance,” Gyllenhaal said, according to WENN. “I’m thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who’s alive and smart. Chris (Nolan) asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress,” Gyllenhaal added.

Gyllenhaal, who normally acts in smaller independent films, blatantly criticized Holmes’ “Batman Begins” performance, which many critics found underwhelming and wooden. Gyllenhaal will take over the Rachel Dawes role in “The Dark Knight,” with Christian Bale again playing the masked hero.
