Now according to Israeli site Xnet, Aboutboul has been cast in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. This new is confirmed from the actor's wife via Twitter. While his character's identity is unknown at this point, Aboutboul is said that he will be playing a "particularly evil mad scientist". Could that be Hugo Strange, or someone else entirely?
