The Batman

The separateDC Universewhere the story ofThe Batmanare being told has already been populated with some of the Dark Knight ’s great villain , butthere is one who was theorized then debunked that I really want to see appear . Withthe hereafter ofThe Batman ’s universebeing filled with potential spinoffs and sequels after the excellentThe Penguin , there now seem to be many opportunity to expound this universe . Whether in a follow - up to that show , inThe Batman Part II , or somewhere else entirely , one villain would be a gross tantrum for this world .

Ever sinceThe Batmanwas free , there has been guess about the iconicvillains that will appear inThe Batman Part II . Every enemy from Batman ’s history , from Hush toPoison Ivy to Mr. Freeze , has been rumored to be the primary antagonist in the next film . Considering the ground take on the character and his villains , it appear thatthere will have to be some change made aside from the fantastical to meet some of these characters in the population . One , however , has just enough affright and just enough realism to gibe perfectly as he is .

Scarecrow Would Be Genuinely Perfect For The World Of The Batman

Jonathan Crane Would Be Both Terrifying And Terrific

Scarecrow is an incredible villain in the Batman mythos , and would be an excellent opposition to take on the Robert Pattinson iteration of the champion . Dr. Jonathan Crane work as a psychiatrist , and uses fear toxin and drugs to provoke hallucinations in his patients . After seeing the drug trade in Gotham with the habit ofBliss duringThe Penguin , and after pick up Batman ’s weaponizing fright against law-breaking in Gotham , Scarecrow , and his liaison to Arkham and corruption in Gotham , would be a everlasting foil to take on the Dark Knight during his next story .

The Matt Reeves version of Gotham , even if grounded , is clearly different from Christopher Nolan ’s , and a fresh , fearful take on the villain could easily stand out .

The only downside to this is that a anchor take onScarecrow was already done inBatman Begins . Fortunately , the Matt Reeves version of Gotham , even if base , is clearly different from Christopher Nolan ’s , and a fresh , horrid take on the baddie could well stand out . He could be more fearful , and the visual modality from his hallucination could be made into something truly unique and unsettling . It would fit within the globe and could feel fresh , original , and compelling .

The Batman’s Easiest Way To Introduce Its Version Of Scarecrow Has Already Been Officially Debunked

Julian Rush Was Rumored To Be The Scarecrow

When he was introduced inThe Penguin , many trust thatJulian Rush was The Scarecrow . This mostly halt from a scene where Sofia came to his berth , and some items were left out on his desk . These include what look to be Scarecrow ’s burlap sack masque , and a pair of glove with knives for fingers . This seemed to be a exculpated setup that Rush would finally become Scarecrow in the world , and many glommed on to the theory . However , this was eventually debunked .

Showrunner Lauren LeFranc weighed in on theJulian Rush Scarecrow theory , and dismissed it as off-key . On the Golden Globes Red Carpet , LeFranc made this very clean when asked about Rush , saying:“Well , I can say he ’s not the Scarecrow . “This makes the items in Rush ’s office seem unusual , and has left many suppose about their grandness . I wonder if perhaps Rush was conjecture to peradventure become the Scarecrow , but the programme was abandon after in output .

I Still Think Scarecrow Could & Should Appear In The Batman’s Universe At Some Point

Julian Rush’s Scarecrow Or A New Jonathan Crane Would Be Great In This Universe

Scarecrow should still toy a part in the universe of The Batman , and this could work in many different way . Showrunners and directors have advisedly misdirected the press in the past tense , and it is possible that Julian Rush could still become Scarecrow at some distributor point in the future . However , whether done with Rush , or by introduce a new Jonathan Crane to the universe , The Scarecrow would be a thoroughgoing villain to look in this universe in a grounded and terrifying take .

Therole of Scarecrowcould be played by many different performers , and he would fit out dead into the world that Matt Reeves has create . While there is a great mountain of naive realism in the new series , there are also heightened moment and features . Using that world and its characters to distinguish stories about putridness and terror in Gotham would fit in well with the subsist installments in the franchise . Even as a small featured character in a future Batman continuation , Scarecrow would be memorable .

2024 ’s update to the world of The Batman may have also get with it perhaps the easy elbow room for his licking to number about in the universe .

I love the entire Batman gallery of rogues , and I ’d care to see every one of them appear in live - action at some point in the future tense . What is most substantial about Scarecrow , however , is that he would be a everlasting burst for the the universe ofThe Batman . Using him to inject a niggling more horror and a little more brat into next installments ofThe Batmanand its overall story would be incredibly effective , and I trust to see that come to fruition at some decimal point before long .
