Another Christopher Headed to Gotham City?

“The film's primary bad guy will remain R'as al Ghul, the immortal whose vision of a world without chaos reaches through centuries of time. But the idea is to introduce the Scarecrow early in the film to show audiences that this Batman movie is different than its predecessors; namely, that it's darker and scarier, and that the rogues that Batman face in Nolan's vision of Gotham City are far more dangerous than the ones seen in Joel Schumacher's Batman movies.”

I like the idea it will be darker and I'm not sure about the whole going to London bit.

It's sounds like we are finally going to have another good Batman movie after those two messes that we got from Schumacher. The article also goes on to say that Christopher Eccleston is the front runner to play Scarecrow, who I think would be an excellent choice. I just wonder who's going to be cast as R'as al Ghul, who without a doubt my favourite villain behind the Joker.

Sounds good but I think these recent versions of popular comics fail to see the seriousness of the comic. Batman is a a lot like Daredevil and I'd like to see the drama behind these characters rather than some pointless storyline nd nice CG effects

Isn't this batman suppose to be a noir? So then black & white scenes can be expected?

Christian Bale has been cast to play the Dark Knight. Filming is set to start in early 2004.
