You should be able to eliminate the need for creating a batch
file if you create a Windows shortcut to 'rxvt'. Once you have
created the shortcut, you can edit its properties and change
the Target field to use what you have above, that is:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-11" -e /bin/bash --login -i
Of course, this shortcut may then be "dragged" to your Windows
taskbar or desktop so that you can start rxvt with a mouse-click.

Here are some fonts that I have been able to use in Windows:
~/.Xdefaults:
------------
rxvt*font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-18-96-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1
rxvt*font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-20-96-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1
rxvt*font: -raster-Fixedsys-normal-r-normal-normal-18-108-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1
Of course, these fonts are mutually exclusive (that is, try each
one and decide which one you like). These can be resized with
the Shift-Keypad +/- keys.
I have also found that under some circumstances, the backspace
key does not work properly. The following setting fixed that
problem:
rxvt*ttyModes: erase ^?
Finally, the default size and location can be set in ~/.Xdefaults:
rxvt*geometry: 80x35+150+5
