As Batman Begins is looking better and better, this will certinally be one to keep an eye on.

Actually I think that the unknown is the only way to go. It worked with the original movies. It also worked with X-men, I mean how many people had heard of Hugh Jackman before X-men? Seriously other than Patrick Stewart, Ian McCellum (sp?) and Anna Paquin, who weren't exactly who you thought of when you thought blockbuster movie (save Stewart with specifically Star Trek), how many of the major actors in the original X-men were unknowns or relative unknowns? Most of them. It allows for the viewer to believe that that dude IS Wolverine, or Cyclops, or Sabretooth. Instead of "Lets see if Clooney can to Batman...", or "Why is Iceman from Top Gun playing Batman?"
