Liam Neeson Officially Confirmed For The Dark Knight Rises

CBM says

Hey, look at that, Wrath of the Titans, will actually yield something interesting, too bad that it comes from their production notes. Looking at those we now have official confirmation that Ra's Al Ghul is back. (Cinema, Liam Neeson, The Dark Knight Rises)

I'm fairly certain we all knew this but I really can't see him having a role any bigger than being the subject of a few flashbacks.

two words - lazarus pit

I'd say there's no way Nolan goes the Lazarus Pit route. That's just too fantastical for him.

actually if he found a scientific way to fit it in then he could well- would explain why in the trailer Bane wants gotham to burn; if Bane were working for Ras Al Ghul. I think Talia Al Ghul is in it isn't she being played by marion cotilliard or something?
JL  +   420d ago
But the point is, there's no realistic scientific way to incorporate the Lazarus Pit - a 'device' which can bring people back from the dead.

Yes, Talia is in this movie and Cotillard is playing her. However, that doesn't really mean that Ra's will be in it. And considering Neeson has said he was only on set for a couple of hours, it's very unlikely he plays a major role like that. That's barely enough time to shoot like one scene/sequence (depending on various factors).

i agree that it'd be difficult for Nolan to implement... but it's Nolan we're talking about! the safer route would be to use Neeson for flashbacks... but i think use of the Lazarus Pit would be better since it's pretty important in the Batman Series.

In the comics, bruce has a kid with ras al guls daughter. I dont know if they are married dont think so. But anyways, they have a kid who is the 3rd? Robin. Soo im sure you can surmise the rest. Sorry dont like typing from my cell. These websites could use a mobile site.

Well, Ra's Al Ghul has a daughter called Talia, who may or may not be in this movie (I honestly don't know).

In the movie Taken, Liam Neeson's characters daughter was Taken when she was in France and he went on an ass-kicking tour of France to get her back.

Therefore I hope Batman takes Talia so Ra's can go on an ass kicking tour of Gotham.

God I love Liam Neeson.

After seeing Taken, he should be the next James Bond.
DarkBlood  +   420d ago
he turned that role down years ago
John Kratos  +   420d ago
Awesome, just watched Batman Begins again today, he was so awesome in that one.
gaden_malak  +   420d ago
And he looks cool in a suit and a mischievous goatee.
JL  +   420d ago
It's always cool to see Liam Neeson, but yeah, I don't expect this to be anything more than a flashback. He even said before that he was only on set for a couple of hours. That's not enough time for him to have a prominent role.

Side note: I just got griped at for posting this on Twitter. They complained that "Liam Neeson is in The Dark Knight Rises" was a MAJOR spoiler lol Bet that person must have lost their shit when it was revealed that Catwoman was one of the villains and there was no way to avoid that news on the internet.
