Awesome, Watanabe pulls him off well.

Now where da Scarecrow at?

 

[ManaByte]

Ducard:

Ra's

Even though Ducard has more of a Ra's beard than Ra's himself.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

SEEEEEXY

 

[Deleted member 1235]

looks cool, can anyone point me to a page that I can read up on who Ducard and Ra's are? My knowledge of batman pretty much stops after the first to movies and a couple of comics (which featured neither of these 2).

 

[Willco]

I'm not sure if Ducard is in the comic books. In the movie he's just a decoy for Ra's Al Ghul and his second-hand man who mentors Bruce.

Ra's Al Ghul is, of course, criminal mastermind and reportedly genius terrorist who travels the world dispensing terror as he sees fit.

 

[karasu]

He looks like a monk. Cool though. I still think Liam looks like Chun from Remo Williams haha.

 

[DrForester]

Has it ever been confirmed that scarecrow is going to be in this at all? I don't seemuch of the news, but I see all the other characters mentioned when i do look arround, and never him.


Watanabe looks good, I still think that young batman vs. Ra's isn't going to last very long.

Yep, Crane/Scarecrow are confirmed.

Yes, and he's played by that guy from 28 Days Later. And I would think having him at the Comic Con panel and talking about Scarecrow is pretty solid confirmation.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Watanabe is Ra's?!?

After I see this movie, I can die a happy man.

 

[nomoment]

This rocks.

 

[Guzim]

Best superhero movie.

 

[Triumph]

Any idea who has been cast as Scarecrow?

 

[explodet]

Cillian Murphy is going to play the Scarecrow.

 

[Trevelyon]

Cillian Murphy is playing Jonathan Crane so depending on how they do Scarecrow I'd say he'll play him also, though it'll probably a double or something to play the actual role.

No, he is Scarecrow also. That was confirmed at Comic Con. It's him in the mask.

 

[Trevelyon]

Oh, that's cool.

:thumbsup

 

[Jim Bowie]

Plus Cillian Murphey? I'm literally giddy over this movie.

Christian Bale .... Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine .... Alfred Pennyworth
Liam Neeson .... Ducard
Morgan Freeman .... Lucius Fox
Gary Oldman .... Sargeant James Gordon
Ken Watanabe .... Ra's Al Ghul
Katie Holmes .... Rachel Dodson
Cillian Murphy .... Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow
Tom Wilkinson .... Carmine Falcone
Rutger Hauer .... Richard Earle

Best comic book movie cast EVER.

 

[AniHawk]

The resemblance is UNCANNY.

 

[Brian Fellows]

This movie is too far away stop getting me excited!

 

[Rlan]

I've only known Raz through the cartoon, and making him bald makes look look a little too old, especially for an immortal.

Aren't they going to have him speaking non-English throughout the movie? Will that work? He had some an awesome voice in TAS

Woah Woah! I had no idea Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Tom Wilkinson were in the film! This is one impressive list.

 

[Shinobi]

The cast is simply sick...

 

[Trevelyon]

Indeed.

I think WB has had a guilty conscience ever since the Schumacher travesties. So they're pulling out all the stops to get this franchise back on track.

 

[Hitman]

Who is Ra's Al Ghul and who is Scarecrow.. Someone teach teh Batman newbies.

 

[Trevelyon]

Jonathan Crane is a psychologist who specializes in the study in human fear, he eventually becomes the Scarecrow after he loses his job and continues his research on normal people & commits various crime.

Sorry if it's a little sketchy haven't seen the animated series for a while.

 

[cybamerc]

Ra's Al Ghul has hair. This movie is going to suck.

 

[Fresh Prince]

The anticipation is so high, it seems inevitable that I'm going to be a bit disappointed when I walk out of the cinema ala Spiderman 1.

 

[Trevelyon]

Ra's Al Ghul has hair. This movie is going to suck.

Alright! we get it.

DIS MOVI IZ GONA SU><0r

Shut the fuck up already.

 

[ManaByte]

He'd love it if it were on GameCube.

 

[open_mouth_]

Halfway through the movie, Liam should pull out a lightsaber and slice Batman in half, then look straight into the camera and say, "Go watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, or I'll slice you too. Tell 'em Lucas sent yah!"

 

[FoneBone]

Ra's Al Ghul has hair. This movie is going to suck.

Are you a joke character? You've been trolling the movie at every opportunity, for no logical reason.

 

[Littleberu]

You're the one creating anticipation.

 

[mattx5]

Having read the script makes this thread alot more enjoyable

Do we have any pics of the Scarecrow mask yet?

 

[cybamerc]

Are you a joke character? You've been trolling the movie at every opportunity, for no logical reason.

No logical reason? The script sounds horrible, the art direction is a joke and the teaser sucked. And most importantly it's a WB production. There's no way this movie is going to be good.

 

[Dan]

I've only known Raz through the cartoon, and making him bald makes look look a little too old, especially for an immortal.

Well he's certainly not an immortal in this new universe...

 

[jett]

Ra's Al Ghul has hair. This movie is going to suck.

I concur with Trevelyon. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

 

[Alucard]

This movie has VERY high "THIS MOVIE ROCKS!" potential.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Decoy my ass! Ducard's gonna end up being the real Ra just by looking at him.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

for those that dont know, here's a little info on ducard or his full name "Henry ducard"
this is straight from my mind from what i've read in the batman comic books. *ahem*

when young bruce wayne was travelling around the world learning all about crime solving, fighting techniques and the like, he trained under a world class sharpshooter named henry ducard.
ducard though wayne everything there is to learn about sniper techniques and sharpshooting. but ducard felt wayne had failed because he refused to kill, so they parted ways.
bruce wayne hates guns but he doesn fear them, that's why he's trained with all kinds of guns; to learn how they work.
that's about it, it looks like they are gonna change the character in the movie though but it's no big deal i guess....
but long time bat fans appreciate having the name there at least.

 

[Shinobi]

Cool info evil...that's an obvious part of Batman's makeup, learning how things work so he can figure out the weaknesses if confronted with one (unless he's like two feet away, then he's shit outta luck).

Alright! we get it.

DIS MOVI IZ GONA SU><0r

Shut the fuck up already.

 

[AniHawk]

Decoy my ass! Ducard's gonna end up being the real Ra just by looking at him.

Well that certainly would make sense.

 

[davis]

the script must be great alot of those actors wouldn't even bother if it sucked even for the millions.
