Trivia
- In The Lego Movie, Liam Neeson portrays Bad Cop, who fights the Lego Batman.
- Matt Nable was cast as Ra's al Ghul for season 3 of Arrow. His casting was met with notable controversy from fans. In light of Liam Neeson suggesting he would be happy to reprise the role (and the follow-up reveal that Neeson was indeed offered the role but had to turn it down due to scheduling with other projects being given little attention), many criticized the actions of the casting department when Stephen Amell announced it. Despite this, Nable was heavily praised by fans and critics alike, with many suggesting he held up to Neeson's portrayal of the character.
