    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 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.

    the TDK trilogy is massively overrated, only the 2nd movie is an actual masterpiece & even then it’s debatable tbh, but Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker is what made that movie phenomenal, while I will always prefer the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy ovet TDK Trilogy, both proved how popular Superhero movies can be.
