10 Unused DC Extended Universe Concepts Which Need To Be Used In Future Movies

10. Scarecrow Joins The Ranks Of Task Force X - Suicide Squad

This piece of concept art comes from early on in the development of Suicide Squad, and reveals that Scarecrow was once set to assemble alongside the rest of Task Force X. Considering the fact that David Ayer's 2016 movie mostly focused on Batman's villains, Jonathan Crane being considered isn't overly surprising, but it would have been fun seeing how the filmmaker planned to reinvent him.

This take on the villain from Ed Natividad is a grounded and appropriately sinister interpretation of the fear-inducing bad guy, and the rest of the team being freaked out by him was probably a given!

However, as Task Force X ended up battling mindless monsters, there's really not much someone with the power to instil fear in his foes with a toxic gas could do here to make much of a difference, even if he was wielding that undeniably badass scythe.

James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is light on Batman baddies, and with the roster having already been revealed, there's no chance of Scarecrow showing up. However, this take on the character is one that should definitely be used somewhere in the DCEU.
