I loathed her. She was endlessly belittling of Bruce, she condescended to him at all times, she was never a "friend" or good to him.
Frankly, I just don't understand why he chose to have her in his life. She definitely didn't appear to be some lifelong childhood friend or even a possible love interest.
Why did he always want to hang out with someone who acts as if they loathe Bruce and that everything about him and everything he does is beneath her?

She was like a two scene character that became the main love interest for two films.
I can't imagine why they had to write her that, as being cold and unsympathetic.
He looked at her as the life he could've had if not for his life as Batman, but as you said she was never a lifelong friend or possible love interest, it looked like he was afraid of finding love elsewhere, also looked like his ability to move on from his childhood sweetheart is gone by the trauma of his parents' murder.
Wonder if Nolan & Co have any regrets about the characterization of Rachel Dawes. -

yes, he should have lived forever to be in sequels and make them much better!
