Played by Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy, and later Charlie Tahan and David W. Thompson in the “Gotham” television series, DC villain Dr. Jonathan Crane (aka Scarecrow) is headed back to the small screen in the upcoming third season of HBO Max’s “Titans,” with actor Vincent Kartheiser taking over the iconic role this time around.

Entertainment Weekly shares the first image of Kartheiser’s take on Dr. Jonathan Crane today, while also sharing insights into this version of the character from showrunner Greg Walker.

Entertainment Weekly notes that Crane, in the upcoming third season, “now moonlights for the Gotham City Police Department while incarcerated in Arkham Asylum.”

“Think Hannibal Lecter,” says Walker. “He’s been given the opportunity to opine on ways to stop villains, and a villain breaks out in Gotham and it draws [Dick Grayson] to work with him.”

The third season of “Titans” premieres on August 12. Head over to EW for more.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation

The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.

The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”

The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.

The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.

Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
