THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Josh Pence, is mostly known for being the body behind the character of Tyler Winklevoss--before Armie Hammer's head replaced his own--in David Fincher's The Social Network. Now Pence has reportedly been cast as a young Ra's Al Ghul in the completing chapter of Christopher Nolan's Batman saga.

As we all should know, Liam Neeson played Ghul in Batman Begins, where he **SPOILER ALERT** was incinerated inside a fallen train car. In comic lore, Ghul has lived for more than 600 years due to his submersion in the Lazarus Pits: a green liquid substance that prolongs life and heals wounds. It remains to be seen if Neeson will return at all, but the interesting thing about Pence's casting is the fact that he will play a younger Ghul in a flashback sequence, some thirty years in the past.

The Dark Knight Rises arrives in theatres July 20, 2012.
