The Scarecrow’s Fearsome Face Off! (1976)Ĭomic Book Herald is reader-supported. An old story, but a classic none the less. Given this is his first meeting with Batman and Robin, the journey to foiling him involves some good old fashion detective work. The story introduces the character of Jonathan Crane, setting him up as a University professor, with his lifelong inferiority complex and bitterness towards others, as well as his fascination with fear toxin. It’s not the most ground-breaking of stories, but as an introduction issue, it sets the tone for the character. Scarecrow!Īppearing in World’s Finest #3 this is the very first Scarecrow story. While there still really isn’t a definitive Scarecrow story, each of these present the master of fear in a sinister and deadly light. But there are fundamental issues and story arcs that show just how impactful or impressive the character can be. When it comes to actual comic book stories, good Scarecrow stories are few and far between. Unlike Joker, Two-Face or even Riddler, Scarecrow gains a lot of his recognition from outside source material, such as his portrayals in cartoons such as Batman: The Animated Series, games like the Arkham Asylum series, and even block buster movies such as The Dark Knight Trilogy where he is portrayed by Cillian Murphy. It’s something that deeply fascinates him to the point of obsession. The entire reason Batman puts on his costume is to inspire fear in the hearts of evil doers, however with Scarecrow, fear is something he wants to inspire in everyone. Like many Batman villains, the Scarecrow is a dark reflection of Batman himself, in this case, through the use of fear and intimidation. While not as celebrated a villain as others in the Dark Knight’s rogue gallery, the Scarecrow is still one filled with potential.
