Next Batman film casting news/speculation thread

[Mr. Monday Morning]

K

I just felt like making a thread for this since I'm pretty psyched for what Nolan could possibly achieve with this.

Anyway

Christian Bale is Batman (confirmed)
Michael Caine is Alfred (confirmed)
Katie Holmes is Rachel - Bruce Wayne love interest (heavily rumoured - she's got a screentest scheduled apparently)
Cillian Murphy is Scarecrow (I *think* I saw this confirmed but just take it as speculation for now)

So at the moment that still leaves Ra'as Al Ghul uncast, and potentially Talia as well (ELIZA DUSHKU DAMMIT [/predictable] )

Most heavily speculated for Ra'as:

John Malkovich
Alan Rickman
Christopher Ecclestone

Soooooooooo...thoughts?
