Here are some sites that provide images and information about the character you requested, Ra Al's Ghul. These are mostly from the animated series that used to aire on Cartoon Network (during the '90s):
(Sunday/July 11, 2004) Though it is a bit early to put much into this, Moviehole chatted with actor Lachy Hulme who says his name is being tossed around for a young Joker in the Batman Begins sequel.
Lachy ["The Matrix Revolutions"] would love to play the role, but stresses that he hasn't been made an offer yet. "I got the heads up from my LA manager that WB have been kicking my pitiful name around for the Joker role in the Begins sequel. It is a role that I would desperately love, but it's way too early for internet rumours to be flying", he says.
Meanwhile, the official UK website has opened, but it's the same material as the US one. Also, 'Frank sent in this report from the Chicago casting call, along with pictures...
As soon as we got there we were handed a form to fill out with the following questions;
Are you a great driver? Are you able to work for 3 nights in a row? If you are using your car can you work for 19 nights in a row? Age, height, shoe size, shirt size, special skills, hobbies. Nationality and occupation were also questions. Under special skills I just put whatever I thought would get me in to get my ass kicked by batman like martial arts and skilled at falling down stairs.
The shifts are 12 hours a day according to the casting crew I talked to. But they told me specifically because I was worried my work hours would interfere that they'll call and ask if you can work on the days and if you can't several in a row it probably won't be that big a deal.
Included are some pictures...some may be blurry, but just so everyone can see as I was surprised there were no expensive detailed batman logos up or anything really indicating what the movie was about probably to keep comic book geeks like me who would get distracted by the set if we were actually to be hired. The pictures are of the application, the warehouse, the line we stood in, some crew and the exit sign leading us out. They mentioned a fee of what I heard as 55 dollars a day and overtime for over 8 hours.

Friday, July 23
12:30-2:00 Warner Bros.: Batman Begins and Constantine—Warner Bros. presents looks at two of the most eagerly awaited comic adaptations of all time! First up: Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents’ murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high-tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city. Participating in the panel are actor Cillian Murphy (Dr. Jonathan Crane) and screenwriter David Goyer. They will also sign autographs in the DC Comics booth after the event. Second on today’s WB bill is Constantine, based on the DC Comics/VERTIGO black'> Hellblazer graphic novels and written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello. The supernatural thriller tells the story of John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a man who has literally been to hell and back. When he teams up with skeptical policewoman Katelin Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldy events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost. Appearing at this event are actors Keanu Reeves and Djimon Hounsou and director Francis Lawrence. Hall H

Countdown to 2005's release of Batman Begins: 332 Days
I dont know where the mix up came from...but Wantanabe is not RAS. The pictures show RAS is Neeson. Im betting Wantanabe will be none other than...UBU!!
The image code does not state that he's Ras Al Ghul nor confirm it. I trust the information provided at SuperHeroHype.com. Here are some links that I hope will provide enough proof for you to believe that Liam Neeson is playing Batman's mentor, Henri Ducard and not Ras Al Ghul:
I'm having trouble placing it at the moment, but there's something very wrong with the ears.

I like Keaton's Batman suit better, Kilmer and Cloonly look like dorks in that Bat suit, but evey time I see Keaton in that Bat suit, he looks cool (I want to say something but not sure if I can a Bad.... You should get the point.)
As for this suit, lets hope the acting saves it. Maybe we need a back ground I dont know? It does not look great. But the ears need improvement, I still giving it a shot to be great though.

I think that is... the sweetest movie Batman costume I've ever seen! Bale looks so Bad( as in Bada$$) in that costume. Can't wait to see this movie.
P.S. I happen to think the Batmobile/Bat-Tank looks pretty sweet too.
