The Dark Knight Rises Alon Aboutboul as...........

[Mako]

Is the bolded part speculation on their part?

Anyway, I look forward to this being confirmed or debunked. If he is, in fact, a main villain, then that has "Hugo Strange" written all over it.

Hopefully we can get one of these soon.

 

[Boom]

The "main villain" part intrigues me the most. But I can't read the Israeli website, so I don't know if MovieWeb got that information from there, or if they're just speculating.

So I guess we'll be getting Bane, Catwoman, Rejuvenated Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, The League of Shadows, and Hugo Strange. But Nololololan will make it work .

Damn ! this film would be packed.

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Interesting. Very, very interesting.

 

[Boom]

Yeah, I could see him bald and with an Amish beard.

 

[NongEyeGong]

Ha, the perfect picture to brew up some interesting Hugo Strange manips!

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Does anyone have a link to his wife's twitter? Can't find it anywhere, supposedly she confirmed it on there.

 

[The Demon's Head]

I don't know. I live in Israel, and I've never been impressed by Aboutboul.

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

If this guy really is Hugo Strange, it changes the game completely. Like wow, I can't even believe it. Bane, Catwoman, and possibly Hugo Strange? Amazing. We will see what comes of this.

 

[BigEggo]

really hope hes not dr strange.the movies got enough major villains,it hardly needs a rubbish one on top of bane,catwoman,ra's and possibly talia/LOS (though hopefully not).

im hoping for the nutter that invents venom or perhaps a subordinate of bane (zombie turned into a scientist perhaps)

 

[Banana-Hotdog]

Jeez. 4th image to pop up in the Google search was of him completely naked. Wasn't expecting that.

But anyway, this is exciting news. Of all the people to be rumored to play Hugo Strange, he is the only one who actually looks like the character. I hope it's true, but I don't see him being a main villain here. A villain role about the size of Mr. Earle in "Batman Begins" maybe.

Good God. Poor Robin Williams... I'm intrigued by this man though. I just hope it's not a shameless "publicity stunt". But I don't think so..

 

[obin_gam]

Couldnt it be that he is confirmed as the voice for Strange in Arkham City? And the wife confused that game with DKR I mean.

Corey Burton is Strange in AC.

 

[Nevincer]

Yay! t: Looks like what I posted in the Info Hunters thread had some substance after all. If he does actually turn out being a main villain/Strange, I'll be Can't wait to learn more.

 

[Roose Bolton]

hmmm I dont buy the "main villain" stuff. I dont think Nolan would have a character as big as Strange in his film and not come out and announce it. He's most likely the scientist that experiments on Bane whilst he's in prison.

Plus, there's no way in hell the main villain would be portrayed by that actor. The character may play a pivotal part in the movie (just like Tiny Tim's character in TDK), but "main villain"? Nope.

We have our winner.

Harvey is that you?.....

[Unmasked]

Considering Ra's background/ethnicity, that dude is most likely to be a chemist/scientist who will appear in the flashbacks

 

[RustyCage]

His wife confirmed ? That's def. interesting.

Is she a reliable source or something?

 

[Rory's Last Nut]

Hey, all.. as soon as I saw that we could potentially be getting Hugo Strange for TDKR, I immediately had to dig up some video of this Aron Aboutboul in action, and found a few clips of his work opposite Leo DiCaprio in Body of Lies, plus a few others.. not quite sure how to embed video that is not on YouTube, but here's the vimeo link if anyone feels like checking it out.

Whether he's actually playing Dr. Strange or just some mad scientist on LOS payroll, I have to say he's definitely an interesting choice!
