Yes! Here we are, all together. Is everyone listening? 'Cause this is the moment you've been waiting for, a very special piece of paper, so let's have a big, paranoid, malignant round of applause... for United Northfield Culcitate Internal Research Memorandum #229! June 19th, 1991. "Conclusion: The unanticipated marketing growth for Culcitate by small farms in colder climates demands IMMEDIATE cost-benefit analysis." Hah. Would you like a little bit of legal advice? NEVER let a scientist use the words "unanticipated" and "immediate" in the same sentence. Okay? Okay. "In-house field studies have indicated small, short-season farms dependent on well water for human consumption are at risk for toxic, particulate concentrations at levels significant enough to cause serious human tissue damage." Well, this is a long way of saying that you don't even have to leave your house to be killed by our product, we'll pipe it into your kitchen sink. "Culcitate's great market advantage that it is tasteless, colorless, and does not precipitate, has the potential to mask and intensify these potentially lethal exposures." Now, I love this. Not only is this a great product, it is a superb cancer delivery system. "Chemical modifications of Culcitate product, or the addition of a detector molecule such as an odorant or a colorant, would require a top-down redesign of the Culcitate-manufacturing process. These costs, while assumed to be significant, were not summarized here." Which, loosely translated, means "it's going to cost a fortune to go back on this, and I'm just an asshole in a lab, so could someone else PLEASE make the decision?" "CLEARLY, the release of these internal research documents would compromise the effective marketing of Culcitate, and MUST be kept within the protective confines of United Northfield's trade secret language." You don't need me... to tell you what that means. Goodbye!

What's so Great about this ending is that all the villains lose, and all the heroes win. Ra's Al Ghul: His attempt to destroy Gotham fails both in Begins when Gotham is not destroyed by fear, fear which Scarecrow represented in it's fullest as well as in Rises when Talia, his daughter, fails to destroy the city with the bomb. However, his training of Bruce allows him to have created a true legend that would become the image of true justice. Bruce's faith in good prevails over Ra's and Talia's cynical viewing of Gotham. Bane: Though he manages to break Bruce's body, he fails to destroy his spirit which rises to victory from the pit. Bruce manages to find the strength to embrace the fear of death, and in doing so he finds self worth which allows him to climb out of the hole that he has been trapped in his entire life. Bruce is then able to have something worth fighting for, and this allows him to finally "stop" Bane. Joker: The Joker had managed to tarnish the idea of Batman by making it represent something to fear and hate. Through his implementation of chaos, he destroyed Bruce's life by killing Rachel and made Batman have to fall, leaving Bruce in defeat when Batman finally had to break his morality, and his one rule, in order to kill Harvey Dent to save Gordon's son. However, even when his chaos finally became realized through Bane's rule and even as Gotham "burned" with anarchy, the hope for Batman to return and enduring faith in justice ultimately prevailed and thus his destructive legacy was finally defeated and replaced with honorable justice, the noble idea of Batman, restored to Gotham. Selina: Selina represents an "adaptable" survivor in Gotham. She manages to move in and out of the moral gray as "Catwoman" in order to survive, though she doesn't want to pursue this forever. Even as the promises of Bane were given to the people, she realized that it was an excuse to forsake the ideals of good since deep down she wanted to start a new clean life. She realized that "the fire" that would erupt would be the flames of chaos and that running would be "letting the world burn", This helped her learn to care for something outside of herself. This finally gave her the strength to be reborn, and thus pursue "a clean state" with Bruce and leave her past without scars. Alfred: Bruce's struggle to discover the strength to move past his parent's murder and ultimately find a life for himself, was Alfred's struggle. Since he was the only family Bruce had, he made himself promise that he would raise Bruce as his own son. Alfred helps Bruce attempt to remain his identity as "Bruce Wayne" and not just Batman. When Rachel, the only connection Bruce had to his previous identity before his parents' murder was destroyed both symbolically and physically, Alfred had to finally make his "son" face reality by leaving him, forcing him to find a life outside the cave. This devastated him, but he finally realized that he made the right decision when he finds Bruce with Selina, far from the past of Gotham City. Now that Bruce has moved on, Alfred feels closure knowing that his duty is fulfilled. Lucius: Bruce may have discovered the will to become Batman from Ra's Al Ghul, but Lucius was the one who ensured that he truly was something more by making him the strongest and best equipped hero he could be. By helping Bruce become what he needs to be, not only does he find a purpose for himself as Wayne Enterprises tries to "keep him out of trouble." He is one of the first to help Bruce return to being Batman due to his strong friendship, and he manages to learn his valuable role in Batman's life when he discovers that his technology was useful, he also feels a sense of closure. Gordon: Gordon represents Gotham's heart itself. On the surface, he appears to be controlling the city with order, however it becomes apparent that deep corruption has taken hold of the city and therefore impedes Gotham's ability to enact true justice. That is why he is so connected to Batman, because he comes to learn that Gotham needs help against the corrupt mob. However, in his blindness he refuses to believe that the corruption affects him, which leads to the ultimate destruction of Harvey Dent, the white knight. He finally pays for his mistakes when Bane's revolution threatens to destroy Gotham, and only with Batman can he save the city he protects. When justice is restored, Gotham finally has a symbol it can believe in since it saved Gotham without being corrupted, and this brings peace to Gordon. Blake: The ideal cop, Blake also represents a mixture between Gordon and Batman in terms of justice. Blake is a cop, and he believes in both the principles and "the structures" of justice, but he also knows what it's like to be an orphan and he manages to prioritize the ideals of justice over the "structures." Even when he resigns from the Police Force, realizing that the "structures have become shackles" which impose on the rightful legacy of Bruce Wayne, he retains faith in justice. Therefore, if crime ever did return to Gotham City, he would have to strength to rise into the symbol of Batman should the need arise. Bruce: Bruce goes through a quest to rediscover humanity as he takes on the persona of Batman. In order to find the means to fight injustice, he goes on a journey that pushes everything to the limit. His will is tested by Ra's, his morality is tested by the Joker, and Bane tests his spirit. As he struggles to protect his city, which he loves, he allows himself to be tested by all these individuals. He finally triumphs though and he manages to make Batman a symbol to believe in, all the while finally managing to find the strength to leave his past behind and embrace a new life. I know this is a lot to read, and I doubt anyone is actually reading this, but if you are, I thank you. I just wanted to explain how amazing this trilogy is by going into detail about how all the characters interact in the story. Peace.

Makes sense since psychopaths make themselves look attractive and charming to throw people off the edge of the fact they're murderers and rapists and whatnot same as Cillian Murphy as the scarecrow being this charming handsome and sexy guy who at the same time is one of the most twisted and disturbing batman villains

This was one of the best villain introductions of the entire Nolan-Batman franchise. I remember wondering just who this guy was right up to this point. When the mask came out and the hallucinogen gas came out, it all of a sudden hits you. That’s the Scarecrow, hiding in plain sight.

I love how when Falcone starts listing off things that Crane has done you can subtly see the anger and annoyance in his face until he finally decides enough is enough and gasses him. This version of Scarecrow is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character and I love it.

[@azurelionheart]

I always love his “Would you like to see my mask?” line. Sure, everyone remembers “You wanna know how I got these scars?” more, but it’s sort of expected that the Joker has some complicated past, and in The Dark Knight it’s more of his way to make people feel tense. Murphy’s Crane feels a lot more jarring when he’s been set up as more docile, more “normal”, this harmless-looking pretty boy who’s helping the investigations, and just brings up a mask out of nowhere. The fact that the mobster doesn’t even get a proper word in edgewise after he changed the topic, coupled with the rising music, really underscores how he takes complete control of the situation.

[@mafiabrett]

My biggest complaint about this movie wasn't enough Scarecrow. Especially during the Arkham breakout, could of been amazing to have extra scenes of him going around terrorizing citizen, officers, and inmates.. Then end with a fight with Batman but is able to escape due to Batman being forced to go after Raz instead.

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Absolutely. He definitely should be the false main antagonist while in the film it’s still sort of that way as he is the placeholder villain before the Ras reveal at the end but he absolutely deserves more scenes like you said.

[@xmanthelegendarysomething1567]

That would have been way better than what we got

[@MichaelTuohy]

No, I think the ball was dropped in TDK. This movie set him up so well but then he was just reduced to a two bit drug pusher that batman dealt with in five minutes. Such a shame.

[@dragonknightleader1]

The theme of this movie is fear, so it makes sense that Scarecrow is the main villain. But no, it's got to be Liam Neeson. I completely forgot this scene existed BTW.

When I first watched this movie I was first getting into batman and didnt know who Scarecrow or Dr. Crane was. I never knew that character even existed. This scene completely caught me off gaurd. Ive been obsessed with scare crow ever since. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. What an awesome way to introduce a villain. I really like how he was used in this movie, despite him barely being involved in the third act. He was the first major threat to Batman and almost killed him by setting him on fire.
