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?

I like the look of Two Face and hate it they kill him off in the B.Man movies.

Dent should have lived and just made Rachel uglier before she died in the explosion.

She got uglier in the sequel but thankfully the Joker killed her off before she got even uglier.

Vicki Vale in Batman 89 and Chase Meridian in Batman Forever are more effective love interests than Rachel Dawes.

Sometimes she was like a 2 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.
Bruce really 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. I wonder if Nolan & Co have any regrets about the characterization of Rachel Dawes.

She was like a two scene character who they made into the female lead for two films.

I didn't care for her either. She was just too bland of a character, imo.
