Casting A Golden Age Batman Picture... (10 person items)

" Why I'd cast him as Ra's Al Ghul: In 'swashbuckler' adventure pictures with Errol Flynn, Rathbone was a perfect villain, often playing an accomplished swordsman with an always smug, self-satisfied demeanor. As he demonstrated in the 1936 "Anna Karenina", he was also brilliant at delivering eloquent, condescending, and arrogant speeches to justify his destructive actions. A role like Ra's Al Ghul is tailor-made for the unique talents of Mr. Rathbone."

" Trademarked as "Sherlock Holmes" even if he made some great impact in other movies too. Brilliant and professional in both adventure, horror, drama and comedies even if the quality sometimes was weak."
