Loosely based on Frank Miller's excellent "Year One" series, with a young Bruce Wayne inventing the batman persona while a young James Gordon moves into a corrupt Gotham police force. main villian: Ra's Al Ghul. A risky choice since non-fans have no clue who that is (everyone's heard of the Joker, but who's this guy?) but a good sign that this one will be darker and may require a brain to watch.
The stars are impressing me.
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 Ken Watanabe: Ra's Al Ghul
and they just announced that Gary Oldman will be James Gordon.
Please, please do this right...

Is there any chance that "Batman vs. Superman" will be based on Miller's _The Dark Night Returns_?

The Superman vs Batman got dropped, partly to do this one, partly because they couldn't find a good Superman, and partly because the director they wanted decided to shoot "Troy."

(swoops out of the creeping shadows to bring scottneb down with a well-placed, snake-bite fast kick to the spleen before retrieving the stolen money and thinking of something humorous to do with the perp before the police show up)
