That part in Batman Begins always makes me froth at the mouth.
You have Katie Holmes' character giving Bruce Wayne a bunch of self-righteous bullshit, driving him to the ghetto, slapping her friend when he bares his emotions to her, and telling him that his dead father (you know, the one that was gunned down before his very eyes and considers his fault) would be ashamed of him.
Let's ignore the fact that she can't really have any decent perspective on where Bruce is psychologically, what with his parents being shot to death in front of him. She didn't have to live through that. Instead of being a friend and seeing just how fucked in the head Bruce is, she takes the moral high road and ends up sounding like a complete douche.
Add to this the fact that his friend and confidant is attempting to get his parents' murderer released so she can put a mob boss on trial. She could have used any other means at her disposal to get to Falcone, but instead she uses the one thing that would totally screw with Bruce's head. I'd be super-pissed if my oldest friend attempted to use my psychological baggage to further her career.
