Ken Watanabe

The Lovely and Talented Ken Watanabe has finally started to foray into English-language movies, first with The Last Samurai, in which, alas, he played a Good Guy, and in Batman Begins as the Villainous Ra's Al Ghul. Or something. I think. It's a little confusing, actually. Anyway, Mr. Watanabe spends much of his screen time (too little actually, but isn't that always the way with Our Favorite Villains) prowling around the Ninja Training Institute^TM and watching his minions beating up on Fellow Hot Bad Guy Christian Bale. An amusing pastime for any villain, to be sure.

Alas, Mr. Watanabe meets a crushing end after hardly any time at all. Was he the Real Ra's Al Ghul? Was it all just a ruse? Did someone go out looking for a good-looking villain with a questionable mustache? Perhaps we will never know, but all the fangirls in the audience were left in no doubt that Ken Watanabe was one Damn Hot Bad Guy. We look forward to his future Villainous Turns with bated breath.
