I know people were excited for Batman Returns cause it would be the first time classic villain Scarecrow would be seen on the big screen. But did you know that Scarecrow was in Batman & Robin? The character of Jonathan Crane, also known as Scarecrow, was seen in a single scene of B&R.
And he was played by Coolio.
Can you imagine if B&R had been a success and we got another Schumacher Batman movie in like, 1999, with Coolio as the main villain, Scarecrow? The best timeline.
Exhibit A: Coolio runs a space resort for weary space marines in Space: Above & Beyond (1996).
Exhibit B: Coolio teaches you about the birds and the bees in Dangerous Minds (1996).
