Cillian Murphy’s Scarecrow Back On Dark Knight Duty

After auditioning for the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in BATMAN BEGINS and unable to oust favourite Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy impressed Christopher Nolan enough for the director to cast him in the key role of The Scarecrow. Murphy’s character then reappeared for a minor cameo in THE DARK KNIGHT.

It now has be confirmed that Cillian Murphy will indeed be seen once again in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The news comes after the actor was spotted by fans, filming a scene for the third outing for the rebooted Batman franchise.

It is unknown how big the role will be this time out, but it is great that Nolan sees the need to include quality actors in characters that may not be heavily featured to link his three features together.
