Once again, with a huge Spoiler Warning placed in the following, read only if you're into spoilers. Hit Fix is reporting that Liam Neeson - who played Ra's al Ghul in 2005's Batman Begins - has been spotted on the set of The Dark Knight Rises (despite his claims that he won't be back as Ghul unless he was asked). Below is what they have to say...

According to sources, none other than Liam Neeson was on the set of The Dark Knight Rises on Monday, shooting a scene as Ra's al Ghul. Right now, I can't confirm if the scene was meant to be a flashback or if it takes place in the current timeline of the films, but Neeson was there, and he was in front of the cameras. By Tuesday night, he was already in New York where he showed up for the premiere of the revamped Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. I have no idea if he's going to return to London for more The Dark Knight Rises shooting or not, but at the very least, we know he's stepped in front of the camera.


Elmayimbe over at LatinoReview seems to back up the claim that Neeson will appear in The Dark Knight Rises



What do you think? Is Ra's al Ghul returning or not? Anyway, The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th, 2012!

Not surprised if its not a flash back of some sort then I guess that means Nolans going to do some thing supernatural or out there in his Batman movie. I remember Hiddlestone flat out denying that he was going to be in the Avengers in the end he was so wouldn't be surprised if this is true and Neeson is in it. He was pretty good as Ra's.

@Ariminies I don't see how that theory works with this rumour which if its true the crazy fanboys out there already know who he's playing.

Although unlikely I dont want it to be a flashback! Ra's Al Ghul is my number 1 Bat-villain. And although I know Nolan's take wouldnt include a Lazarus pit but..why not? One can dream, right?

And Neeson is always welcomed!

Let's be real, spoiler warning or not, that gave it away. It's not like they were bringing back Rachel Dawes or Two-Face.

@pitchblack: It just as easily could've been Cillian Murphy - in fact, that's who I was hoping (and expecting) it was. This came as much more of a shock - and a pleasant one.

This is fantastic news. Neeson was great as Ra's in Batman Begins and I'm looking forward to seeing him return to the role.

Okay, here's the thing. There's a young guy playing Ra's and Neeson playing Ra's. Lets say Ra's does not return. Why all the flashbacks? Extensive flashbacks, too. With a younger version that Batman never encountered. Maybe Bane encountered him and these are the reasons for all the flashbacks, but I really hope all those rumours aren't true.
Please keep Bane's origin as it should be, with him being born in prison, etc.

I would be nice to hear those famous words from Ras to Bats..."Hello Detective or We meet again Detective :)"

Awesome!:)

tea@ MIND[frick]! In the end of the film Marion Cotillard´s character who turns out to be Talia takes of her mask and turns out to be non other than Ra´s Al Ghul. ;)

Nolan´s gotta end this movie with a big bang and what is better way to do that than bring Batman´s master back with a new apprentice Bane!

Are you sure about that teabag? This is marvel72's reaction to the first Dark Knight teaser with Batman, Alfred talking and the Joker laughing:

"the dark knight teaser was shit,just hearing talking is not what i want to be seeing."

Then when the Avengers teaser with just Sam Jackson's voice over was released, he nutted himself and said:

"avengers assemble,i can't wait to see what they're gonna put in the thor & captain america movies to hype us even more before the avengers movie comes out."

When your reasoning is that inconsistent, there is obviously bias. Or just no reasoning ability at all.

Its either a flashback scene with his daughter

or

A scene in the present with him somehow related to the Lazarus Pitts

if he's coming back then i say Bane finds Ra's Al Ghul's body and he dumps him in the lazerus pit to make him immortal!
chaosman92
chaosman92 - 6/15/2011, 3:59 PM
My guess is that they are going to use the Lazerous pit to either bring him back from the dead OR have someone find his burned up body clinging to life and bring him to the pit.
Or on an easier note, have a flashback of him finding/braking Bane out of prison and training him.
But then again, how do you explain the younger Ra's???

awesome news and great find!!

pitchblack - 6/15/2011, 4:02 PM
Yeah but that's not his reasoning behind it. He said he doesn't like teasers that have just voices and nothing visual from the movie. If it applies to one thing, but not the other, then there is an inconsistency and basically telling "I tried to give a reason for the sake of trying to show there is something wrong with it, but in reality I didn't like it just because I never wanted another Batman movie."

@pitchblack dude those must've been from articles months old if not years, do you have a saved archive of conversations hahaha

Hopefully, it's just him training and/or mentoring Bane as he did with Wayne. Bane will be the League of Shadows member who is "willing to do what's necessary" unline Wayne. He will then not only attempt to destroy Gotham (finish Ra's work) but also to get revenge on the man who killed his mentor. Thoughts?
