We've heard plenty of rumors indicating that the actor will return as the villainous Ra's Al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises, but little was revealed in regards to that when the actor sat down to chat with MTV News recently. In fact, it was if the character he played in Batman Begins slipped his mind entirely for a second! "You're throwing me for a loop there. That's right. I was in 'Batman.' I trained him," he laughed.
On a slightly more serious note, the actor then went on to look back at the past two movies and his excitement to see the third instalment. "Chris Nolan's made wonderful films, very rich, dark and complex, especially ['The Dark Knight']. Of course, it was cloaked in tragedy," he added in reference to the death of Heath Ledger. As for The Dark Knight Rises: "I'm eager to see this one. I haven't a [frick]ing clue what it's about!"
