### Type of Ensemble Dark Horse

Symbolic Antagonist

**Dr. Jonathan Crane**, also known as **Scarecrow**, is a major antagonist of *The Dark Knight* trilogy.

In the films and *Batman Begins* video game adaptation, he was portrayed and voiced by Cillian Murphy. In *Batman: Gotham Knight*, he was voiced by Corey Burton.

## What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?

* He's liked by fans for being the only antagonist of the trilogy to appear in every installment, even if he is given less screen time in each subsequent film. In fact, he's the only Batman villains to appear in three films in a row.
	+ His appearances in *Batman: Gotham Knight*, *The Dark Knight* and *The Dark Knight Rises* add a sense of continuity throughout each installment.
* His performance by Cillian Murphy may not be as acclaimed as Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, but it's still got it's own solid fanbase. Murphy can go from normal looking to psychopathic in an instant.
* He represents one of the trilogy's core themes, fear.
* His appearance in the short *In Darkness Dwells*, in the *Batman: Gotham Knight* anthology series is entertaining as expands on his experiments on people, namely turning Waylon Jones into Killer Croc.
* He's got a lot of charisma, dealing with Rachel Dawes, Carmine Falcone and distributing the fear toxins all under the guise of a professional psychologist.
* His appearance as The Judge in *The Dark Knight Returns* is entertaining with his "Death or Exile" and "Death by Exile" lines.
* Cillian Murphy states that Scarecrow might even have gotten away with his crimes after *The Dark Knight Rises*, making him on of the few villains in the trilogy to potentially escape punishment.
