Hmmm... I guess Neeson will be alright. Still would've preferred Rickman, though.

[Guest El Satanico]

Neeson may not be what you consider ideal casting, but the important part is that Neeson is a good actor.

Hmm, was Lucius Fox a comic character, or was he created specifically for TAS?

 

Glad that they're taking a cue for Spider-Man, and getting ACTORS for the villain roles as well.

Jesus that rocks the planet... Neeson is one of my favorite actors and Freeman is just fanfuckingtastic... when this project was first announced, I was skeptical, but the more I read and hear about it, the more excited I get

I feel exactly the same way. Too bad they haven't figured this out for Superman yet. I'd so mark out for a "World's Finest" if it was done right...

I've never been high on superman, but if the right cast was chosen, I'm sure I would definitely be excited... and it looks like that is NOT going to happen

LIAM NEESON!

SUPERMAN:

Director McG of Charlies Angels (:-D)

Beyonce Knowles the POP SINGER

Rumored: ASHTON KUTCHER as Superman.

[Guest El Satanico]

There's been all kind of rumors for superman...they should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

Besides the Ashton Kutcher rumors are extremely old and he hasn't been mentioned anytime recently.

well the Beyonce rumors are legit and the last time I heard her name mentioned a few days ago, Ashton Kutcher was mentioned as well... he may not end up with the part, but he's still favored if you use Entertainment Tonight as a source

Nesson isn't Ra's after all.

 

From Superherohype.com

 

In a bit of a blunder, Variety reported yesterday that Liam Neeson was playing the villain, Ra's Al Ghul, in Christopher Nolan's Batman.

 

The trade has now issued a correction, saying that Neeson instead is playing Henri Ducard, mentor to Bruce Wayne in the Warner Bros. film.

 

This brings us back to square one with the villains. All we know is that Cillian Murphy is a villain in the film, but the studio has not disclosed who.

[Guest El Satanico]

Cillian Murphy better be "Scarecrow"

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Here's the article:

 

For those who weren't aware, Christopher Nolan (Memento) will be directing the new Batman movie.

Christian Bale stars as the Caped Crusader in the project which will start shooting March 16 in London. Also cast are Michael Caine (as butler Alfred), Cillian Murphy and Katie Holmes.

 

Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson are confirmed to have joined the cast of Warner Bros.' new Batman film, reports Variety.

 

Freeman will play Lucius Fox, a respected businessman and the CEO of billionaire Bruce Wayne's mega-conglom, based in Gotham City. Liam Neeson plays the villain, Ra's al Ghul, a wealthy international terrorist.

Are any mainstream comic villians in this one?

 

I'm not dogging it, I'm actually just curious. It sounds like an awesome project but I'm wondering who the villian is in terms of name dropped BATMAN comic foe.

 

Is it Scarecrow?

Clayface?

 

Who is it?

Hmm, was Lucius Fox a comic character, or was he created specifically for TAS?

 

Glad that they're taking a cue for Spider-Man, and getting ACTORS for the villain roles as well.

He's a real character- he ran Wayne Enterprises while Bruce was in Gotham after Cataclysm and during No Man's Land.

The guy who becomes Scarecrow is in it, but I don't believe Scarecrow appears in this movie.

 

Ra's Al Ghul is the only main villian as far as we know at this time.

[Sass 0]

Based on the reports I've read, these are the Bat villains who appear to be in the running for the movie.

 

Possible villains:

 

Main: Ra's Al Ghul

 

Lower-tier villains (possible henchman to main): Scarecrow and/or Reaper spin-off.

I'm not really sure who Ra is. Can someone fill me in on what the story is with him?

It sounds like Ken Watanabe could be cast as Ras.

 

Anyone else think he looks exactly like The Rock?

[Guest El Satanico]

No...it's just his eyebrows
