For as long as THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has been in production, we have been hearing rumors of yet another Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow cameo.  And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have our confirmation.

A new press release for the film’s European premiere gives us a full list of all the cast members that will be attending that night.  The lucky guests of honor will include Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Liam Neeson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine.

Yeah, you read that right…

Rumors have been running wild that in Murphy’s scene, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard), and several of Gordon’s cops are forced at gunpoint into a courtroom filled with ex-con mobsters, Bane’s mercenaries, and thugs. The Judge is none other than the Scarecrow.
