Batman. The Scarecrow (Dr. Jonathan Crane) is a fictional character, a supervillain, that appears in comic books published by DC Comics.

In this video i will show you all the versions of The Scarecrow, from his first appearance in the comics in 1941, all the way to his 2009 character in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

The Scarecrow uses a variety of toxins that cause his victims to hallucinate that their phobias have come to life. He wears his Scarecrow mask to enhance the effect of the hallucinogen (instilling fear in all who see him) as well as to avoid being poisoned by his own toxin. Although not physically intimidating, Scarecrow can resort to physical combat, using a style called "violent dancing", based partly on the crane style of kung fu and on drunken boxing.

The Scarecrow is an expert in psychology, with a focus on fear, and is a former certified professor on the subject. Due to prolonged exposure to his own gas, Scarecrow went from being frightened of bats to only being frightened of Batman. Scarecrow is both addicted to fear and incapable of fearing anything except Batman, whom he compulsively seeks in order to ease his addiction after the Caped Crusader's apparent death. Scarecrow is chosen as a bearer of the twin of Sinestro's yellow ring as a temporary Corpsman, giving him the powers of a member of the Sinestro Corps.

  • Scarecrow is a totally underrated villain in my opinion. I mean, what's not terrifying about seeing the very thing you fear the most?
