Scarecrow (Comics)The Scarecrow is one of the many supervillains of Gotham City, home of Batman in the DC Comics series. Jonathan Crane was a professor of psychology at Gotham University, specializing in the psychology of fear. As he grew up he was bullied due to his bookishness and his gangly figure. He took on the moniker of the Scarecrow (the main nickname the bullies used for him) to get even with the bullies at school. After his dismissal from Gotham University, for firing a bullet at a flowerpot to get his point across, he killed those people responsible for his dismissal. Now, using a variety of fear gases and his freakish costumes, the Scarecrow instills fear in all who see him. However, he does not rely entirely on inspiring fear; when forced to fight, he uses his own style called "violent dancing", which is based in part off the crane style of kung fu, and makes full use of his long arms and legs. In other media In the 1970s animated series Super Friends, the Scarecrow appeared as a member of Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom. In this series, he was voiced by Don Messick. In the 1990s , the Scarecrow was voiced by Henry Polic II and then by Jeffrey Combs. He will also appear in the upcoming live-action film Batman Begins, portrayed by Cillian Murphy.
