“Or do I have to MESS YOU UP”

Yes, that’s perfect writing for a young Jason Todd.

I would let Scarecrow caress me with his fear gauntlet.

The Fear Gauntlet

Arkham Asylum introduced one of the coolest weapons for Scarecrow to use and I will never stop singing it’s praises.

The Fear Gauntlet

First of all, its so unique. Never have I seen a weapon that injects people with toxin through needles attached the the fingers. It almost reminds me of Freddy Krueger’s glove, but with a twist!

The overall design is so sleek and streamlined.

Injecting someone with a needle full of toxin is a very intimate and terrifying experience, but this is on a whole new level! It’s disturbing and scary, I certainly wouldn’t want to be on the other side of it.

and arkham Knight took the simple design and evolved it.

Now it encases the hole arm, almost like a cast. (maybe that’s because of Croc?) and the syringes look even creepier. Innjectiosn can happen at the flick of a wrist. Truly spooky.

and to say that it wasn’t in inspiration for the comics would be a lie, several mainline and side comics have given Crane a modified fear gauntlet inspired by the Arkhamverse version. It’s pretty much canon at this point. Which, honestly…is awesome.

Arkhamverse Scarecrow

“But fear reveals the truth, erodes your self-control. Soon you will kill and become that which you hate the most. Soon, the Bat will be broken!”

In the latest issue of Batman/TMNT Adventures they finally explain the reason behind Scarecrow’s sinister costume change in The New Batman Adventures.

Jonathan has quite the talent for drawing and design. I really love that.

Plague doctor scarecrow! This was a request by my lovely moot from over on TikTok and i actually like it (yet again trying to figure this digital art thing out)

I just love this set of panels, it shows us Jonathan Crane at his most vulnerable. He’s looking up at Batman, but he doesn’t SEE Batman. He sees the bullies who tormented him in his youth. You can feel the pain in his voice.

Is he sorry? Not by a long shot.

But he IS afraid.

Reasons to love this page:

Scarecrow looks like a real ghoul, super creepy

Firefly enjoying the sunset’s warmth like a little kid

Mad Hatter tipping his hat with a sweet smile

Riddler in one of his more obsessive periods, taking up two panels

Jonathan Crane crying as he succumbs to The Scarecrow after a failed attempt to teach again? Yeah, that’s depressing.
