A Surprise Character on the Dark Knight Set!

Scooper 'typeorocks' filed this report from The Dark Knight set in Chicago, with photos, video and a spoiler on one of the characters we'll see in the film:

Here is my set report from last night (Wed) in Chicago. Lots of snipers were there early... only to see a few scenes being filmed 1 level under the rooftop set in the parking garage. The scenes were gunfire and gang members running for cover.

Also... not being filmed was a stunt double jumping from the rooftop into the level below. He had on a Batman outfit... but no cowl.


After about 2 hours or so everyone went on break... most of the people standing around snapping pictures left. But we stayed. I hung out below and heard that Cillian [Murphy] was spotted! I tried to find him but didn't. However I did find Chris Nolan. Got his autograph on my BB DVD and a picture with him.

Around 2:30-3ish they returned to the set and started filming 2 gangs fighting with each other. Then I spotted Cillian and they filmed him yelling at the gang. The sound of gunfire blasted and everyone ran for cover. They repeated this over and over again. Here are a few pics of the gangs talking to each other. The people on the right are the Scarecrow gang. The gang on the left... I have no idea? They were all dressed nice so maybe part of the mob?

So after a few takes of that... they moved to the side of the van. I saw a Batman... It had to be a stunt double. And him and Scarecrow had a struggle and ended with the crow gassing Batman. Batman fell to the ground holding his face screaming.

They were still doing takes of that when I left...about 4am.

I also uploaded a video in addition to my set report.


The Dark Knight opens in theaters on July 18, 2008.

But why is Scarecrow called Scarecrow? Nothing I've looked at so far gives me an answer and I thought you'd know. If you can tell me it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.

Well, I think he is called the Scarecrow because of his mask, plus the effect of the gas.
