The story line has also been kept locked up in the Batcave but Pence’s casting throws more than a few crumbs to follow. Ra’s Al Ghul was played by Liam Neeson inBatman Begins, thus paving the way for a possible return of the supposedly dead character. Also, while the studio never confirmed Cotillard’s character, it has been rumored to be that of Talia Al Ghul, the daughter of Batman’s mentor-turned-enemy.

Sources say Pence will appear in scenes that take place 30 years prior to the present story.

Pence, repped by Innovative Artists and Industry Entertainment, recently wrappedBattleship, Universal’s big-budget action movie based on the board game, and indie political thrillerThe Algerian.
