IGN Movies, we now have some pretty definitive proof that Ra's al Ghul will not feature in the third movie, despite speculation that his daughter Talia would have a role. Despite his comic book history of being pretty much immortal, it was hard to believe that director Christopher Nolan would ever introduce something as fantastical as Lazarus Pits! Here's an excerpt from their report:
His response was that he "definitely" won't be in the next film and hasn't even been approached about it, but he'd maybe kick around the idea of returning as Ra's down the line sometime. We definitely got the vibe that Batman Begins was just a gig and didn't mean all that much to him. In fact, he picked Superman as his favorite superhero when asked -- he said Batman was too gloomy.
Oh, and he'll be filming Clash of the Titans 2 when Dark Knight Rises shoots anyway.
