    "The Bat Man!" was a great delivery.
    Murphy is an A-Class actor and he made Crane his own. Indeed if not for how Murphy pulled it off, then I don't know we would have gotten Arkhamverse Scarecrow how we did.

    Nolan got his casting for Batman pretty much spot on throughout - obviously Bale, Cillian, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman & then the later films obviously the late but truly great Heath Ledger seemed an odd choice to many as the Joker at the time but boy oh boy was it the right call & even Aaron Eckhart - often overshadowed by Ledger’s genius but his turn as two face was phenomenal

      I actually would agree with most of this, especially about Eckhart's performance being overshadowed but really great......but I think Oldman was totally wasted on Gordon. Anyone could have done that Gordon really, but Gary Oldman could have played literally anything and nailed it.

    I hope he's given a more comedic role in the future. If anything, his Scarecrow character definitely had some funny quirks and his delivery is kind of effortlessly humorous in that role. It's something I hope he taps into as time goes on. RDJ certainly sunk his teeth into more comedic roles but is also a helluva dramatic actor. Maybe both of them in another film in the future would be great too--i bet they both learned a lot from each other working together in Opp.

    Despite being a great actor and having the physicality for the role, Cillian Murphy knew that he wasn't the right fit for Batman. He felt that the role required a certain level of intensity and gravitas that he didn't possess. Instead, he was cast as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, a role that he felt suited him better. Murphy's portrayal of the Scarecrow was widely praised and he became a memorable part of the franchise.
