or Harvey had had her role or very similar in BB
Perhaps they could have taken the Rachel Dawes character and split her up into three different characters; Harvey Dent, the ally in the DA's office, Selina Kyle, the love interest, and Dr. Leslie Thompkins, the friend from the past who's disappointed in Bruce Wayne's lifestyle until she learns the truth. Harvey Dent wouldn't need to have a role in Batman Begins as big as his Dark Knight role. Just establish him as an idealistic district attorney who wants to take down the mob, so instead of having to establish Dent's goals or motivation in the Dark Knight, more time could be used to show a darker more trouble side to Dent to make the transition to Two-Face more believable.
I'm not real fond of TDKR's Selina and don't see how she would have benefited from or developed a better relationship with Bruce by being introduced earlier.
Truth be told, there's a lot about the Dark Knight Rises I'm not fond of, but if we're being honest, the movie had to fill a hole left by the death of Heath Ledger, so they overcompensated and crammed a bunch of elements into the movie that didn't really work well together. The first two movies were crime sagas as much as they were superhero movies with a large focus on organize crime, but Selina Kyle was established in the Dark Knight Rises, which used the "Harvey Dent Act" to abandoned the organized crime angle and was sort of just a pure superhero movie. If she had been introduced in the crime world that was in Begins or Dark Knight, she could be developed much differently that how she was introduced in the Dark Knight Rises. In Year One and the Long Halloween, she is seen robbing Carmine Falcone repeatedly, and in When in Rome, she is investigating the possibility that Falcone is her biological father. Even if Heath still died and the movie still ended up a huge mess, Catwoman could have been an entirely different character had she been introduced earlier.

I'm not sure how Selina would have gotten to know Bruce or why they would be attracted to each other, a love interest aside from a friend from the past doesn't seem to fit with how driven Bruce was in BB.
A part of the appeal of Two-Face is that as Harvey he worked closely with Gordon and Batman so the role probably should be somewhat substantial but yeah, it would be better if a second film was able to go more into his dark side rather than trying to establish all aspects of his character.

If she had become Catwoman in the second film (appearing in the first film or not) that could have been a fine addition to the idea of escalation and unintended consequences (although I have issues with Catwoman suddenly taking on the costume and being an effective criminal and fighter aside from a supernatural aspect like in BR although I guess she could have had years of offscreen training and just suddenly take on the costume). It could be a good dilemma for Batman if she was primarily stealing from and hurting the mob.

Could've had Bruce met her at a party or have her as a little girl/street theft seeing the Wayne murders like in Gotham.
