Josh Pence, who played the body of one of the Winklevoss twins (having Armie Hammer’s face superimposed over his) has been cast as the young Ra’s Al Ghul in a flashback sequence in The Dark Knight Rises, the Hollywood Reporter has learned.

This lends quite a bit of credence to the idea that this film will feature Talia Al Ghul and possibly the return fo Ra’s Al Ghul. No word about whether or not Liam Neeson will be back reprising his role, but I would bet on it. The guy can keep a secret, news of his appearance as Qui-Gon Jinn on The Clone Wars didn’t come until the week before his episode aired.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

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

Pence is also in the “much-anticipated” Battleship (the boardgame) adaptation.
