Description

The Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics . Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane , the character first appeared in World's Finest Comics #3 (September 1941). He has become one of the most enduring enemies of the superhero Batman and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery .
In his comic book appearances, the Scarecrow is depicted as a brilliant professor of psychology turned criminal mastermind. Abused and bullied in his youth, he develops an obsession with fear and uses a specially designed hallucinogenic drug –dubbed "fear toxin"–to exploit the phobias of the people of Gotham City and its protector, Batman. As the self-proclaimed "Master of Fear", the Scarecrow's crimes do not stem from a common desire for wealth or power, but from a cruel pleasure in terrorizing others to further his sadistic experiments on the manipulation of fear. An outfit symbolic of his namesake with a stitched mask and burlap hat serves as the Scarecrow's visual motif.-Wikipedia
