As the Guardian of Gotham, Batman strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies—utilizing terror itself as a weapon in his crusade against the villains that plague his city. However, there is another denizen of Gotham that knows how to use fear to his advantage. One that turns Batman's own weapon against him and revels in terror and dread: the Scarecrow. As a young child, Jonathan Crane was subjected to sick and twisted experiments on fear conducted by his own father. Emotionally scarred and mentally unstable from the ordeal, Crane spent his childhood living in fear until he made an important realization—if he could control fear, it would never again control him. Over time, this interest in fear become an obsession.

A man of true intellect, Dr. Jonathan Crane fell from grace when he became absorbed by his own experiments that dwelled into fear and the incredible effects that it could have on a person's psychological condition. Abandoned by his parents to an abusively religious grandmother and bullied throughout his youth for his lanky appearance, Crane seemed to conquer his own fears and became a master at such a natural and primal feeling throughout his research. After he developed an incredible panicogenic that amplified a person's worst fears and brought it to life in a horrifying fashion in his or her mental state, Crane murdered his grandmother and went on to become a professor, and used his students, medical patients, and even the Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum Inmates in his inhumane experiments. After he perfected his fear toxin, Crane renounced his previous identity and guised himself into the terrifying image of The Scarecrow , a name that was once a favorite taunt of the man's former bullies and using his toxin to fulfill many of his personal desires, while he also developed immunity towards that same toxin. After Crane was ultimately exposed and captured by Batman and sent to the same institution that he used as a staging ground for his inhumane experiments, he realized that the hero had proved to be the only individual who was capable of inflicting fear on him. With his research the only motivating factor in his life, Scarecrow felt nothing but delight when he saw his countless victims' minds break into insanity and death from his weaponized fear toxin, and reveled in the sense of control that his experiments empowered him with. After he was recruited by the Joker for one of his more brutal plans, Crane used the opportunity to perfect an even more lethal dose of his signature fear gas. He hoped that not even Batman would be able to withstand its effects and planned to unleash it into Gotham City to break the soul of every citizen forever. Despite the enhanced toxin, Batman managed to overcome his fears once again and put an end to Crane's plans.
