Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From IMDB:
Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes won't reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Bros is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie. A source tells Pagesix.Com, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Adding of Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom."

They would've changed the actress anyway, according to Raq's Law of Fungible Actresses. You just can't have the same female love interest in two movies.
Back on Seabiscuit, one more quick rant that ties into the earlier discussion of recognizing where movie scenes were filmed: When the train is at the Albuquerque station, they got the station building right (my dad worked for the AT&SF in the Depression, so we've plenty of photos of that building) more or less. But the giant palm trees in the background? NSM.

I've found it to be a real grower -- one of those films that you look upon more fondly as time goes on.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You're right. There's no reason to believe they would have kept her, Cruise or no Cruise. That rumor sounds pretty much blown out of proportion. And what the fuck is Pagesix.Com-- that just resolves to the Post's Page Six.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What do you mean? It's just Page Six. Online.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I loved it from the start. My big reaction was, "I know people like that!"

Heh. I really liked the credits sequence, at least. That was cool and clever.
And I...don't know people like that, really. It seemed to be about bored people trying to be excited and failing miserably.

Someone needs to break that law and replace Callista Flockhart with Karen Allen in the new Indiana Jones movie, stat
