News on the Bat front today of both the confirmed and unconfirmed nature with two Oscar-winning veterans of the UK acting industry poised for roles when shooting begins early next year in England.

First up the confirmed and today's The Hollywood Reporter reports that whilst details are still being finalised, Michael Caine has agreed to play the role of Bruce Wayne's (Christian Bale) dryly humoured but loving and trusted butler Alfred Pennyworth in the Christopher Nolan directed new entry in the "Batman" film franchise. The role was previously played by Michael Gough in the four live-action films.

On the more speculative front, Batman on Film has a report today about who might be up to play the film's main villian Ra's Al-Ghul - none other than the semi-retired Daniel Day-Lewis: "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".

Thanks to 'JHBlade' & 'Rick'.
