You guys know what? I think it’s a great idea to have Neeson back as Ra’s Al Ghul. He might end up being the main villain again. You know, they have this other guy (I forgot his name) as a young Ra’s. Maybe that’s the part where they explain why or rather how Ra’s managed to come back into the story.

As for Bane, Selina Kyle and ‘a mad scientist’, they might be another gang of villain in the movie.

I have a little imagination of myself though. How about Johnny Depp as The Joker in a short scene? I am sure with those make up on, he might look a little similar to Heath Ledger’s ‘Joker’. No, I don’t mean to disrespect Ledger for his legendary play as The Joker but.. in one way, we all miss The Joker right? If we say ‘no’ to Johnny Depp as The Joker, how about CGI? Well.. I don’t think Nolan will opt the latter.

Wasn’t there a picture of the set showing what was possibly the Lazarus pit?

They can keep the realistic tone and still have the Lazarus pit. Say the Lazarus pit is just the fountain of youth from mythology only it turns out that it actually exists. It’s no more far fetched then 1 guy taking on gangs of dudes and not getting his ass kicked, and taking down crime lords in a bat suit with gadgets.

I knew it . I knew it. I knew it. There’s no way to finish out this trilogy without Liam Neeson coming back and play Ra’s Al Ghul again.

In reply to Carlos. Totally agree! I love that Neeson is coming back because he was so much awesomness in the first film. LOVE IT!!

This is a welcome surprise. I’d be more upset if Neeson lied about being in the film then wasn’t.

I actually wish more actors/directors would lie to us like that. Gone is day when you’re actually surprised by anything in a movie before you see it. It’s sad.

Dude, hello: “The DEMON’S head?” You’re lucky all he did was lie to you!

Seriously though, I’m not bothered — like you said he was no doubt on a serious gag / lie through your teeth order.

I’m just curious if we’re seeing him in flashbacks, or if Nolan’s throwing ‘reality’ to the wind and bringing him back via Lazarus Pits. Maybe a combo of the two: He was found barely alive in the train wreckage and has been nursed back to health all this time using ancient herbs that have an almost “Lazarus effect.”

Either way, I’m glad to see him back!
