No more white washing Ras. That includes Viggo. And yeah he declined the role. So did Gary Oldman.
 
Supposedly Ra's al Ghul was pitched to Daniel Day-Lewis, Viggo Mortensen, Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce. Though with Pearce, I think Nolan decided to go older with the role. More father/son dynamic.
 
Viggo will never do a comic book movie, sadly. They tried to get him for either Zod or Jor-El in Man of Steel.
 
One of my favorite films is the director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven, Ghassan Massoud was wonderful as Saladin. I think he’d be a perfect choice as The Demon’s Head. :up:

Keep an open mind about this, but there is a tremendous 80’s-90’s actor who I think would make a perfect Ra’s due to his subtleness that he approaches roles as well as demeanor and intensity. It also doesn’t hurt that he hasn’t aged well, which means he looks like I guy who has been around the block for centuries. I think Michael Biehn is perfect for the role:

Don't see Michael Biehn as Ra's Al Ghul, and not only because he's white (though it doesn't help).
 
Lol. I get it and I have problems with white washing as well. Especially since Ras is supposed to be from the Middle East. But as someone who openly supports Michael B Jordan as Superman and is enamored with the fact that Zoe Kravitz will be Selina and Jeffrey Wright is going to play Jim Gordon, I threw Biehn out there just because I wanted to propose who I felt were the best for the role. But I completely get that it could be inappropriate.
 
I really like Reda Kateb for this. Great actor, and he has a very interesting face. French Algerian background.
