SCARECROW BATMAN SERIES

Yet, Murphy losing out on a prospective career-making role could have been seen as a significant setback, but he carries a clear outlook on what he now realizes was a slim-at-best chance for landing that leading role against the now-iconic performances of Bale across the eventual trilogy. There’s a dynamic here that poetically mirrors another popular (Marvel) comic book film franchise, Thor, since villainous Loki actor Tom Hiddleston was initially in the running to play the titular hero. This made him a rather creative candidate for the Batman role before it went to Bale. So, I think back very, very fondly on that time, but I never, ever, ever considered myself Bruce Wayne material.” Contextually, Murphy was still relatively early into his career during this 2003 phase, but had turned heads with roles in films such as 2002 outbreak horror film 28 Days Later and 2003 period drama Cold Mountain. It turned into that character, Scarecrow, and it turned into a working relationship with Chris. So, for me, it was just an experience, and then it turned into something else. “The only actor who was right for that part at that time, in my estimation, was Christian Bale, and he absolutely smashed it. “I don’t believe I was close to landing that role,” Murphy confessed. While he’s currently promoting a prominent part in John Krasinski’s impending horror sequel, A Quiet Place II, the topic of Murphy’s tenure in Nolan’s trilogy-launcher was raised in an interview with THR, in which he reminisced on being a finalist for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman before he went the antagonist route.

Murphy has fielded a successful career in film and television-notably starring on crime series Peaky Blinders-following his performance as Crane/Scarecrow in Batman Begins, which also included memorably madcap cameo reprisals in 2008’s The Dark Knight and 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Interestingly, Murphy was close to donning the cape and cowl himself, a process he now looks back upon. Of course, the film proved to be a solid foundation for a franchise thanks to the dualistic performance of lead Christian Bale and-no less significantly-the villainous performance of Cillian Murphy as Dr. After all, it arrived in the ignominious aftermath of 1997’s Batman & Robin, making it a reboot few fans were asking for. Batman Begins was a curiosity before it became known as the launcher of director Christopher Nolan’s genre-transformative trilogy.
