The latest casting rumour regarding the anticipated 'Batman Begins' sequel is that British heartthrob Jude Law is being considered by producers for a role in the next blockbuster.

Interestingly, the 'Closer' star was considered for the lead role as the caped crusader for 'Batman Begins' but lost out to 'American Psycho' actor Christian Bale.

Rumour has it that Law is being touted for the role of D.A Harvey Dent in the sequel which, should it prove true, would also see him reprising this role in a second sequel as he would have to complete the transformation into Dent's evil alter ego, Two Face.
