9 Characters That Shouldn’t Appear In Matt Reeves’ The Batman

Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow)

Much like Ra’s al Ghul, we’ve seen quite a bit of the Scarecrow in The Dark Knight trilogy. However, he’s also a quintessential villain that demands his own storyline – not just a cameo in between other bad guys.

Pulling off the Scarecrow in the DCEU might prove difficult if the direction is going to be lighter from now on, since the character is incredibly dark and feeds off the gloomier and fear-driven storylines. We’re not sure about you, but we’d rather see an R-rated film featuring Jonathan Crane than an all-ages affair where he comes off looking like a loser with a bag over his head.

It’s a tough choice here; however, we think the Scarecrow wouldn’t fit into this universe at the moment. He’s a complex character and needs the right platform to make an impact. Anything less would be an injustice to him.
