Last month, at Comic-Con, Arrow fans went nuts when it was revealed that Ra's al Ghul would be coming to Season 3. Then came the the part where the internet listed off who they'd love to see play Ra's on TV. And everyone from Jason Isaacs to Oded Fehr was been mentioned. But what if we could get the guy who played Ra's in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins? That's right - Liam Neeson!

Not that anything is currently in the works, but Neeson, in a recent video interview with MTV, said he'd be willing to reprise the role. If he were asked to, that is.

"No, I haven’t [been asked], I haven’t at all. I would [do it], in a heartbeat, if it came my way, yeah. Very much so."

When asked of he had any advice for the actor who does wind up playing Ra's, Neeson offered up the following...

"They have to believe in their philosophy. Ra’s al Ghul absolutely believed what he was doing was ultimately saving civilization, and it was quite a good argument he comes up with. Throughout the ages this fraternity, that brought the plague to wipe out a section of mankind because it needed to be regenerated again. Very dangerous, but you have to believe it."

Damn Arrow. They've used both of my favorite villains of all time (Deathstroke and Ra's Al Ghul) as major villains, this show is awesome. I just hope people don't start thinking Ra's is an Arrow villain like they did with Deathstroke. That's just ignorant. Neither of them are Arrow villains.


Anyway, as much as I love Liam Neeson, and his Ra's Al Ghul in BB was amazing for that universe, this is a more comic book Ra's, so it'd be hard to see him playing this one too.

I'd dig Neeson playing Ra's Al Ghul again. I honestly can't picture anyone else doing it and I think it'd be interesting to see how he'd reimagine the character he played from Batman Begins. I honestly don't think it'll be all that different, really.
