#BTNA Scarecrow

[headless-crow]

Trying to teach myself how to draw again, so lots of Rogues Gallery (mostly Jonathan) incoming as practice. If you have any advice (especially in proportions, angles, etc.) please dm, comment, or send an anonymous ask, it's very much appreciated 😭

Top five scarecrows please!!

Okay frankly all the Scarecrows blend into one character for me but I’ll do my best.

Batman: The New Adventures

Because just look at everything going on here

I don’t Even Remember Where This is From

Just look at this monster

Man Bat #5

Because, frankly, he’s a just petty asshole who wants to make a scene

I Also Don’t Know Where This is From

The glowing eyes, the fear toxin vials on his pecs, the torn up mouth, the gas breathers, the chopped up hood. I love it

Arkham Knight

The junk man vibes combined with the skull face is everything to me

A friend of mine and I did a Drawpile, and talked about our favorite Scarecrows in the middle of it, so here’s our fav spooky boys, drawn by each other :] Also a tiny version of his OC up there lol

And BaneCrane headcanon you can list?

I know I got another ask about this ship, too, but I'll answer that from another continuity. This one will be purely BTAS focus.

Bane and Scarecrow initially started strictly professional.

Because of his bizarre moral code, Bane has never seen Scarecrow's unmasked face before, and made sure he avert his sight for any photo that may link to Jonathan. Scarecrow felt very appreciated for the commodity.

Bane was the one who fell in love with the professor first.

He and Scarecrow have a 6 years age gap (Bane is around Batman's age, to be precise).

When Scarecrow heard his unconventional confession, he went through a lot of emotional reactions (Shock, Denial, Skeptical, Doubtful, etc.) before trying out the relationship.

It was until the one crime mission they successfully committed together did they both began to mutually fall into eachother (based on that sketch I made).

On the "Seven Days of Screams" experiment, they spent most of their time together on a boat where observation records are set, exchanging their personal knowledge to eachother, and having quality time in their "dates".

While Bane doesn't mind going to restaurants with his previous suitors, he never really enjoyed them as he felt there were untapped atmosphere and experience missing out.

Thankfully, Scarecrow seems to prefer homemade cooking as much as Bane does. This gave them plenty of opportunity in not only exchanging cuisine recipes, but also how their food was grown.

It really feels odd for Jonathan to talk to someone who is much closer to their countryside than himself.

Sometimes Bane would aloud translate the out of print books for Crane, thanks to his immersive polylingual knowledge.

...which Scarecrow feels a little jealous about.

It's not surprising that they would shortly joke around their respective sentences crude security.

Despite being together now, they both prefer to work in their careers separately. They might work together in certain phases, but it would usually end before either of them are caught together.

The relationship is one of the main factors that lead Bane to start "moving in". This includes becoming an employee to the Penguin (much to Oswald's delight).

Despite finding out Bane's "rich" status, Scarecrow hardly ever ask him for money, as he felt he wouldn't have enough to payback the value.

But being this is Bane, he can't help but do what he can to make his lover happy.

For the first time, with no physical advantages, Scarecrow has as much chance to be the dominant one.

Bane usually researched the building or request a room below the hotel floor level, as it one incident lead him feeling self conscious about his strength (which involves him and a one nighter breaking 5 floors during their private time).

After their first consummation without their masks, Scarecrow is baffled by how boyishly handsome looks. Bane is not even faze by the Scarecrow's true face (he would describe it as "cute").

A lot of their living expression reminisce of affection and touch starves.

Scarecrow is the one that helped refine Bane's vemon, which makes him the second person to carry the formula's knowledge.

Bane does plan on taking Jonathan to Santa Prisca to introduce him to his "relatives".

Whenever Scarecrow shows a sign of fatigue or illness, Bane will do what he can to make him feel better (or at least pampered).

When Bane found out Scarecrow was a victim of prison abuse from Lynold Bolton (Lock Up), he was extremely pissed off, and decided to teach him a thing or two about prison conditions, Pena Duro style (he is never seen in the BTNAS timeline again).

Yes, even when Scarecrow decided to redesign his costume to look more closely like the undead, Bane will still kiss him. Truly picked a keeper.

Jonathan is shocked to witness Bane being really well with kids, and expressed interest in adopting some when he retires. Scarecrow isn't too enthusiastic about it, but doesn't mind if it ones that are older, like teenagers.

The relationship last for good 15 years...until the 2009 Close Call Apocalypse happened, where Jonathan Crane had died in the fire. If you watched Batman Beyond, then you can guess it went all downhill for Bane.

I'll stop here, as that's all I have on top of my head for now. Thanks for the ask.
