Variety dropped the news and we picked it up as Michael Caine has been confirmed as Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler on the upcoming Bat-flick.
Pic is already set for a 2005 release and will be helmed by Christopher Nolan.
On the other Bat-front there is a rumor floating around that the primary villian role of R’as al Ghul may be played by none other than semi-retired Daniel Day-Lewis.
In a short news post on Batman On Film! the site states, “I recently came across a nice article in BROKEN FRONTIER that provides a nice rundown to of the history of BATMAN 5. Check it out–I think you’ll find it a nice read….One name I’ve heard more than once associated with Ra’s is Daniel Day-Lewis; but please take this as strictly rumor right now. But yep, I’ve heard his name from more than one source…“
