Christian Bale .... Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine .... Alfred Pennyworth
Morgan Freeman .... Lucius Fox
Katie Holmes .... Rachel
Cillian Murphy .... Dr. Jonathan Crane
Liam Neeson .... Henri Ducard
Gary Oldman .... Lt. James Gordon
Ken Watanabe .... Ra's Al Ghul
There were complaints about the nationalities of actors - that is NOT what this post is about. Suffice that so long as the characters portrayed are accurate, so be it. Christian Bale & Gary Oldman are British, but you will never be able to tell in their films if they don't want you to know.
The reason for this post is the character of Ras 'al Ghul portrayed by Ken Watanabe (of The Last Samurai film).
If his character remains Middle Eastern, I'll be happy, but I believe the producers wish to change the ethnicity to something more decidely asian.
We all know why this PC move is being made (Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network), the question is if this is true, is it the right move to down play the arab world for the asain world? Please note Muslims inhabit both, so I don't see the difference if they wish not to offend anyone.
Your thoughts?
