From the library, I have returned with The Maltese Falcon and Monsoon Wedding.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I have fond memories of him in MacGyver, of course, but also loved him as FBI Agent Polk in The Sting.
Also as Colonel Lard in Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.
Ra's Al Ghul is the one man to ever figure out that Bruce Wayne was Batman.
Bane? Does Knightfall not count as canon? I'm kind of out of the loop.
Also, Tim? For some reason I thought he figured it out, too, though that may be merely hearsay.
Steph! Steph! Paging Steph to the BatCourtesy phone!
Also, Tim? For some reason I thought he figured it out, too, though that may be merely hearsay.
He figured it out in Tim Drake: Boy Stalker.
I'm not sure what the hell is going on in there, but it looks kinda cool.

Timmy definitely did, freaky little stalker that he is. I don't know if Tim figuring out that Bruce = the Bat happened before Ra's did.
And Knightfall is canon, you betcha.
::so not wanting to spoil anything::
Roger Ebert gave Batman Begins four stars in a very spoiler-filled review that I won't post a link to (I'm highly disappointed about his lack of spoiler warning, especially since I knew nothing about the storyline before reading it). He ended it thus:
I said this is the Batman movie I've been waiting for; more correctly, this is the movie I did not realize I was waiting for, because I didn't realize that more emphasis on story and character and less emphasis on high-tech action was just what was needed. The movie works dramatically in addition to being an entertainment. There's something to it.
