History
Psychology professor Jonathan Crane was obsessed with the study of fears and phobias and when dismissed from his teaching position due to some somewhat bizarre classroom demonstrations, he took to crime, using his knowledge of fear to create chemicals which could induce terror in others. Physically weak and thin, he wears a costume that makes him look like a Scarecrow. Although he is one of Batman's most intelligent, and therefore dangerous foes, he is always defeated and sent to Arkham Asylum due to his ever more evident insanity.
