This is the latest info I've found. The Christopher Nolan interview page is taking forever to load, so I'm not sure whether he had anything to say about Cillian's return. At least it gives us a bit more info on the direction of the movie. I found this on Amazon. Somewhat spoilery:
The Dark Knight
News on the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight, is starting to speed up as January's pre-production date grows closer. In addition to actor Ryan Philipe possibly being cast as the next Two-Face villain, in an interview with the website Better Than Fudge, director Christopher Nolan revealed that the sequel will be in part based on the amazing Alan Moore/Brian Bolland graphic novel Batman:The Killing Joke. In the book, the Joker's origin is partially explained, Commissioner Gordon's daughter is shot, and the relationship between Batman and the Joker is explored in detail. Very dark and smart, typical of Moore's writing. Even though Moore hates The Killing Joke book, something he discusses in an upcoming Amazon Wire interview, this book is one of his best. Check out the Nolan interview here. http://www.betterthanfudge.com%2F%3Fp%3D925&token=B197A24F2CBDE247A6BFB46E8E44F943FB1F09FE
