The Penguin Showrunner Confirms Fan Theory About Scarecrow is False

Lauren LeFranc clarifies that Dr. Julian Rush is not secretly the iconic Batman villain, despite clues in the series finale.

Showrunner Lauren LeFranc has definitively stated that Dr. Julian Rush, portrayed by Theo Rossi, is not the Scarecrow in HBO's The Penguin.
Fans speculated about Rush's connection to the Batman villain due to props in his office that resembled Scarecrow's costume elements.
LeFranc's comments leave open the possibility of Scarecrow appearing in future Batman films or potential additional seasons of The Penguin.
The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, has been praised for its storytelling and character development, with no confirmation yet on a second season.
The series introduced several lesser-known Batman villains and explored Sofia Falcone's backstory, avoiding the inclusion of more prominent characters like Joker or Harley Quinn.
