as for him suppose to look younger, he doesn't go through that phase where he's trying to make himself younger until later, after bats gets his career started and all. yeah, he didn't look asian. from what i remember in the animated series from the late 90's on cartoon network. check out the article and other images of ken as ra's al ghul in my batman begins (news and updates) thread for further details on this!
For those disappointed with Ra's not looking like he does in the comics, you have nothing to worry about. You'll understand why I say this come June 17th, or if you read the following spoiler.
Don't read this unless you don't mind knowing a pivotal moment in the movie.
Again, major major spoilers:
Spoiler:
Ra's in the movie does have hair, and he is not Asian. Ken Watanabe does not play the real Ra's al Ghul. The real Ra's is none other than Ducard, played by Liam Neeson. If you examine the picture of Ducard on the official website, you will notice there are several similarities between him and the comic book Ra's.
