The ending of The Batman shows Bruce Wayne realizing that he's been consumed by vengeance, but that Gotham needs a symbol of hope instead. The Batman even suggests how important it is for Robert Pattinson's Batman not to learn the truth, as he seems to accept the fact that he doesn't need to know to be Gotham's protector. Batman still defeats The Riddler and steps up to help Gotham without discovering more about his parents' deaths. And it just so happened that it was a huge one.While it's unusual that Thomas and Martha Wayne's killer wasn't revealed, especially after so much focus was put on Batman's parents, it wasn't necessary for the killer's identity to be revealed. “But deep down, secretly, I was desperate to play a lead for him…It felt like the right time to take on a bigger responsibility. I don’t really care about the size of the part,” Murphy recently told the Associated Press. “I have always said publicly and privately, to Chris, that if I’m available and you want me to be in a movie, I’m there. Murphy reprised the role of Scarecrow in Nolan’s two “Batman Begins” sequels, “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” and he continued to work with the filmmaker on films such as “Inception” and “Dunkirk.” The upcoming “Oppenheimer” marks Nolan and Murphy’s sixth project together, although it’s the first Nolan movie that Murphy has headlined in the leading role. Those tests were high production values.” But I remember the buzz of trying on the suit and being directed by you. “It felt to me that it was correct and right that it should be Christian Bale for that part. “It was clear to me from the beginning that I wasn’t Batman material,” Murphy added.

So that’s how you got to play Scarecrow.” That was a big leap for them and it really was purely on the basis of that test. All the previous Batman villains had been played by huge movie stars: Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey, that kind of thing. “Everybody was so excited by watching you perform that when I then said to them, ‘Okay, Christian Bale is Batman, but what about Cillian to play Scarecrow?’ There was no dissent. “We did two scenes - there was a Bruce Wayne scene and a Batman scene - and I made sure that executives came down and watched what you were doing on set,” Nolan said. Although Nolan did not intend to cast Murphy as Batman, he set up a screen test for the role with the intention of getting studio executives on board with the idea of casting Murphy in the villain role of the Scarecrow.
