Separated At Birth

Went to see Batman Begins last night and I highly recommend it, even if it isn't without flaws. The cast is wonderful. There were a couple of actors who I recognized immediately but couldn't place. I couldn't recognize Gary Oldman, who disappeared (in the best possible way) in his character. I was stunned when I saw who was playing the evil Dr. Crane, aka The Scarecrow. Was it Tom Welling, of Smallville fame?

Nope. It was Cillian Murphy, the Irish actor who was featured in Cold Mountain and Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Here's a photo of Tom. Compare and contrast:
