scarecrow in sequel?
At the end of Batman Begins Gordon says that they hadn't picked up Scarecrow yet. So I was wondering if they would include him in the upcoming sequel. I know it couldn't be a big part, maybe just an opening action shot of Batman taking him in. What would be cool is if there was an opening where Scarecrow killed Rachel and then Harvey Dent took over her place or something. Anyone agree?
Doubt it. They won't kill Rachel, if she by some chance is even in the film whatsoever. There's a chance that Crane will return for a cameo, but I don't think he will. I dont' think they'll pay Murphy to come back for one or two scenes. They might just show someone locking up a cell and tossing the Scarecrow mask in a locker or something.
it's not uncommon to include a clause in a contract that obligates the actor/actress to return in a sequal even if it never happens
I wouldn't mind at all if he returns but then he has to be part of the story and not just a shot of him getting taken in, then they can just take a crook or something instead and save the money
they could include a bigger storyline for him or something

Exactly what I was saying. No doubt they put it in the contract to return just so that if they wanted to they could throw him in there, but he shouldn't be a huge character when they have others to choose from, so that would mean he would have a small cameo, which could be kind of pointless in the long run so they could just save the money and not put him in there - which chances are they'd do. However, I'd like to see him in a 5 minute opening action scene or something, cause that'd be cool. But don't make him the sidekick villain to the main plot again or something, you know?
Because we've already seen Scarecrow, we don't need to see him as a main villain again. Wouldn't you rather see someone else? I think at the most they should use him as a quick scene, but they won't waste their money, so the chances in it are slim. They shouldn't make him the main villain again, definitely, cause they've got Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, blah blah blah blah that they could do instead.
David Goyer has said that they do plan on making three, this coming one with the Joker and then that would lead into Two Face. A producer has also said that Cillian Murphy agreed in his contract that he would return as Scarecrow if Nolan were to ask for it, just as yerssot said. The producer also said that Christian Bale, Micheal Caine, Morgan Freeman, have signed for the next two and that Katie Holmes is signed for the next one. So hey, I could be right about Scarecrow returning to off Rachel and then be locked up.
Just one more thing to say, sorry. Chris Nolan and David Goyer have made it terribly obvious that they want to uphold this realism achieved in BB and part of that would be to not just have Rachel vanish as every other girl in the first four films did. They could just go half-@ssed and mention something about her changing cities, but it would stand much better to show a good amount of her departure
I would love to see her die... by a creek... next to a guy named Dawson 😊
I really don't see the use of having an actor return if it's just for some small scenes... with some use of angles and such, you could just use someone that looks like him and achieve the same things (if you don't go for close-ups) and save money on it all together, so if you are going to spend money then at least let it be worth it imo
Read my Bat- film ideas on the thread about which will be the next villain. I say Scarecrow is at the start of 3 to remind everyone and to have more of Dent going a bit nuts. This gets Harvey more obsessive. Then Joker sprays him with acid flkowers, Harvey goes mad, injures Joker, kills jury and judge then murders Rachel!!!! check my ideas out... they truly ROCK!!!
