I loved Dr. Crane and his sexy glasses and eyes. Plus, I just love Cillian Murphy, haha. Is his character back in the Dark Knight, I heard he was...but I was wondering if anybody could confirm it?
Just in the beginning in the movie for about 3 minutes when his parking garage drug deal is interrupted by a bunch of Batman wannabe's wearing hoaky Batman costumes and using guns. The real Batman arrives and Scarecrow takes off.
The Joker was hired by the various crime organizations to kill the Batman. He used his criminal genius to concoct an elaborate plan to force Batman to reveal his identity. This would destroy Batman's advantage of anonymity, making it easier to kill him. As it turned out, The Joker didn't want money, he wanted to run Gotham City's criminal underground, Batman and Harvey Dent were in the way. In the Batman comics, the Joker is Batman's arch enemy. Homicidal, and brilliant, he's always looking for a way to kill Batman. Even if it means killing innocents or destroying Gotham City in the process. For all those confused about Joker robbing banks: He only robbed the banks that the criminals had their money in. By doing this, he was sure to get their attention. When Gordon and his crew cracked down on 'the mobs'' assets, Joker was there to lend assistance by eliminating all those that were causing the problems. Mainly Harvey Dent, and Batman, but also the Commissioner, and the judge allowing Dent to prosecute them. Always a couple of steps ahead of most, he knew by asking for half of 'the mob's' money, they'd be weak enough to overtake. The reason Batman completes Joker is because Batman is the only person smart enough to see through his plans. Therefore, it's always a challenge to defeat Batman, but not necessarily kill him.
Yes for a short time in the beggining of the movie for like 5 minutes.
Dr.Crane/Scarecrow is in the beginning of the movie and he gets his but kicked by Batman and gets arrested. It's not a big deal in the movie its just 10 minutes of action that makes people happy.
