Robert Downey Jr. has recalled sitting down with Christopher Nolan to discuss the role of Scarecrow in Batman Begins – and how he realized pretty quickly that he was never going to be cast as the DC villain...
During a recent American Cinematheque event, in which Downey Jr. delighted Oppenheimer fans by doing a surprise Q&A before a screening of the film in Los Angeles, the actor revealed he was once in talks to star in the first outing in Nolan's acclaimed The Dark Knight Trilogy. As we all know, though, Scarecrow, AKA Dr. Jonathan Crane, wound up being brought to life by Downey Jr's Oppenheimer co-star Cillian Murphy.
