(HR) Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson and Rutger Hauer have joined the cast of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Batman Begins." Christopher Nolan is directing the latest incarnation of Warners' Caped Crusader franchise, which is being produced by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Larry Franco.

Wilkinson plays Falcone, one of the leading crime figures in Gotham City, while Hauer portrays Earle, a business contemporary of Bruce Wayne's murdered father who has designs on the Wayne corporate empire.

The actors join Christian Bale as Wayne/Batman; Michael Caine as Wayne's trusted butler, Alfred; Katie Holmes as a childhood friend of Wayne's; Liam Neeson as Wayne's mentor, Henri Ducard; Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, a former board member and sidelined employee of Wayne Enterprises; Gary Oldman as Lt. James Gordon; and Ken Watanabe as the villainous Ra's Al Ghul.

Wilkinson, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in "In the Bedroom," appears in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." The actor, who is repped by Gersh and Lou Coulson in London, received an Emmy nomination last year for his work in HBO's "Normal." Hauer recently appeared in the TV series "Alias" and "Smallville" and in the film "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind." He next appears in TNT's "Salem's Lot" opposite Rob Lowe and James Cromwell. He is repped by Innovative Artists, Joan Hyler, and Steve Kenis and Co. in London.
