Dunno how to feel about them, their rather messy therefore you can't really make out where each thing is.. I don't really like the assault on Arkham one 😔

At a grade school in Gotham, there's a teacher who has an assignment for their students write the rogues in Arkham Asylum a letter. It's something they do every year, and the kiddos get to ask the rogues fun questions. Most write to the joker, but a lot of them will send letters to Scarecrow, Riddler, Catwoman, etc.

Questions include

"How many people have you killed?" "Have you ever eaten fear toxin, Scarecrow?" "Do you like batman? What about Nightwing?" "How many riddles do you know Mr. Riddler?"

And other child like inquires. Sometimes they even write back to the kids. One year they even took a field trip to Arkham and got to ask questions in person.

Can we please have something where scarecrow is the MAIN villain. For once. Like without working under somebody else. Or getting overshadowed by the joker or another character maybe. Please. Maybe even give him interesting dialogue that explores his obsession with fear whilst still letting him talk about other things. Dare I request he even gets actual character exploration and doesn’t just show up to gas Batman. Yknow let him be an actual character and not a plot device that could be replaced with a leaking fear toxin canister.

No? Okay.

An Honest Opinion on Cillian Murphy and his role as Jonathan Crane

This is gonna be long, so buckle up hroo hraas

Cillian Muprhy was the actor who played Jonathan Crane in the Nolanverse Trilogy. For many fans, if it wasn't btas, it was Nolanverse that introduced them to Scarecrow. Unfortunately, it's a pretty poor introduction.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good actor, but is is NO Jonathan Crane. He actually wanted to be Batman but those in charge saw his pretty blue eyes, became obsessed and basically threw away any previous idea of who their Scarecrow should be so Cillian could act in the movie.

The director goes on to host multiple interviews in which he fawns over Cillian's eyes. This is literally the only thing he has to say about Scarecrow. This is also one of the reasons you see them focused o so much in certain clips, Cillian was actually instructed to take off his glasses as much as possible.

Now, whats the problem? Well, Cillian is first and foremost way too traditionally handsome to be playing such a character, a character that was literally bullied for his looks in ever comic released prior. (and I do realize that handsome men can be bullied for their looks, but the comics only ever describe Crane as gangly and nerdy. Unlikable. Queer Fellow. Etc. And I honestly don't expect that kind of nuance when he was hired for his PRETTY EYES ) I don't even think the movie comments on his looks. Anyhow.

His roles in the movies, for me, are largely forgettable. The only iconic comment is "Would you like to see my mask" That's literally all anyone remembers. Oh and maybe the flaming horse, but that's never talked about by fans. So, it wasn't impactful

I doubt Cillian has even touched a comic book tbh. If he did, he's at least TRY to be scary. His costume---which largely isn't his choice--was uninspired and uncreative. A suit and a burlap mask with some maggots for some reason??? Boring. (Note: even the gotham actor read the comics. It's not hard to do some research into who you'll be acting as)

Compare that to comics out at the time, Year One, Batman Adventures, Batman Annual 19, even Long Halloween predated this movie! They had PLENTY to reference.

And what's worse? the fandom. Oh god the fandom. While I'm grateful many current fans got their start with the Nolan trilogy, they all largely have moved on to bigger and better canons. They're not who I have beef with. It's the Cillian Murphy fangirls. Not Jonathan Crane. Cillian. The tag is largely infested with them, and they often tag any and every photo of the man as Jonathan Crane. This does nothing for me, except annoy. I've blocked dozens of blogs for this. It's petty, sure, but I can guarantee you that tagging your Cillian pictures as every character he's acted as ever, does not mean you'll get more interaction. You'll get the opposite actually.

Do note, fanart and illustrated portrayals of Cillian are the one exception. Artists have taken his very boring interpretation and turned it into something awesome. Y'all keep doing you. You rock.

Cillian is not a bad actor, but he's a bad Crane.

Have you heard the Blackout Shades Album by Maiden Names? There's a track based on Year One Jonathan Crane, called Your Suffering.

Yes, it's so iconic and amazing that this comic actually got a song made for i!! I love that it's a thing!
