AmericanDragon Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 There's also a drawing based off of an unreleased picture of the movie. Cillian looks like Bateman there.
Black Lushus Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 so does this NOT follow the canon of the other movies? I'm just asking because I thought the bat signal wasn't introduced until the end of the first movie...
AmericanDragon Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Posted March 4, 2005 It has nothing to do with the other movies.
Guest El Satanico Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 That's the best picture of the suit released. I like the whole art deco look on his chest and abs.
2GOLD Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Other than Scarecrow looking incredibly stupid, I love all I see here. Guess if the acting turns out to be positive then it'll be ok. But he looks silly.
Nighthawk Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Kinda looks like an action figure. Not bad, though.
AmericanDragon Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Posted March 5, 2005 This is probably what he is going to look like to the victims of fear gas minus the gun.
AmericanDragon Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Posted March 5, 2005 This is an old image but it's a pretty good shot of the suit.
Guest El Satanico Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Scarecrow looks fine. You need to keep in mind that this is early in his life as a villian. He's not going to be worried about a costume. Besides, his gas is what makes people fear him.
Use Your Illusion Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 So what is Scarecrow's deal anyway? Why is he the way he is? I'm good with just about all of Batman's enemies except him, I have no clue about his backstory. Is it the usual 'X happend and now I'm a raging psychopath'?
AmericanDragon Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Posted March 5, 2005 So what is Scarecrow's deal anyway? Why is he the way he is? I'm good with just about all of Batman's enemies except him, I have no clue about his backstory. Is it the usual 'X happend and now I'm a raging psychopath'? They're not following the comic version of his story. In the movie, he works at Arkham Asylum and he experiments on his patients there with fear gas. The only reason he made the mask is to enhance the hallucinations that his patients have when they are under the fear gas. That's why it looks thrown together or home made and that's also why he's still wearing a suit.
Big McLargeHuge Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Man, that Scarecrow 'costume' is pretty bad. Bat's mask looks weird. Different from the Burton/Schumacher films I guess. I was kinda hoping they wouldn't go with the rubber bat suit right out of the gate, but it looks good. I don't get why they leave off the yellow bat symbol, only to keep the the Utility belt the same color.

That's not his costume if you're referring to him being on the horse and it would be a spoiler to explain that picture. For most of the movie he'll be wearing the suit that his Dr. Crane character wears. And there aren't going to be any "costumes" in this movie besides Batman's. I already explained that Crane only uses that mask to scare people under the influence of fear gas at Arkham Asylum. He also uses it to hide his identity since he's a criminal involved with smuggling certain items into Gotham. It's not like he was bitten by cats and then had some sudden urge to create a costume for himself.

They're not following the comic version of his story. What is it in the comics. All the bios I've read are pretty close to the movie, with the movie's biggest difference being he works in Arkham instead of Gotham U.
AmericanDragon Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Posted March 5, 2005 Copy and paste from http://www.dccomics.com/secret_files/dc_ch...mCode=scarecrow Jonathan Crane often found himself the target of bullies who dubbed him "Scarecrow" with his gangling legs and gawkish features, Washington Irving's fictional Ichabod Crane made real. Fear of his oppressors defined the young Crane, who vowed to conquer his weaknesses by knowing the nature of all phobias, and in doing so, avenge himself upon all who taunted him. Later, Crane studied psychology and biochemistry, parlaying his advanced knowledge of fear and the human mind into a Gotham University professorship. Crane's unorthodox and unsafe teaching methods would ultimately be his undoing, forcing his dismissal. As revenge, Crane adopted the rags and tatters of the Scarecrow, literally frightening several of the University's regents to death with a specialized fear gas which made each man's personal demons all too real. The Batman ended Crane's reign of terror, and subsequent criminal endeavors, but gained a bizarre new addition to his rogue's gallery in Arkham Asylum--a psychopath whose only fear is of the Dark Knight himself. The script for Batman Begins didn't go into his motivations but they might add that in with the other rewrites. In the movie, he's not going to "become" the Scarecrow like other villains are made in other comic book movies. There's not going to be some transformation scene or anything. Nolan is trying to make the villains appear more realistic. He is simply dragged into the conflict because of who he's working with in the smuggling.

Besides, his gas is what makes people fear him. Agreed. The fact that his mask looks so cheap really adds to the realism.
Sass Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 I like how the Scarecrow's movie debut is going to follow how his BTAS debut episode went. Of course, his origin was explained in the middle of the episode. But I like the pacing.
Special K Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Scarecrow looks fuckin' sinister. I hope this movie kicks ass.
AmericanDragon Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Posted March 6, 2005 The shot of Scarecrow in the superbowl teaser is much better in my opinion.
AmericanDragon Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Posted March 6, 2005 The guy who originally released these pictures says he has a total of 44 images and that he's releasing more on Monday. High resolution Scarecrow.
AmericanDragon Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Posted March 8, 2005 This was made back when Catwoman was being released.
Boner Kawanger Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Actually, it was made in 1997. They called it Batman and Robin.
Damaramu Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Is he riding a horse in that picture? If so that's pretty cool.
Boner Kawanger Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Yes. Reminds me of The Long Halloween.
