Insanity and Corruption
Crane first appears while testifying in court, stating that the criminal Victor Zsasz is, "As dangerous to himself, as he is to everyone else around him." Crane convinces the judge and jury that Zsasz is insane, so that Zsasz is sent to Arkham Asylum.

While leaving the courthouse he is confronted by Rachel Dawes, who notes that Zsasz was the third of Falcone's thugs that Crane had declared insane and had sent to Arkham. Crane tries to win the argument by saying that, "Perhaps butchering for the mob has an attraction to the insane." Crane continues walking when Dawes says, "Or they're corrupt." Crane stops, annoyed, as District Attorney Carl Finch walks towards Rachel. Crane tells him to remind her of all accusations she can make, "If any." Crane then walks away.

Meeting with Falcone
Later Crane has a meeting with the top mob boss in Gotham City, Carmine Falcone. Crane tells Falcone that it is becoming very risky to keep declaring his thugs insane, since Dawes is now on to him. Falcone mentions how he has been bringing in Crane's drugs for months now, and wants favors. Crane replies by saying that they are already paying him for that. Falcone just replies that sometimes he prefers favors over money. Crane tells Falcone that his boss wouldn't like to hear that Falcone is endangering their operation just so he can get some of his men out of jail time. He then tells Falcone about how a DA is sniffing around. Falcone suggest just buying her off, but Crane says that it won't work. "An idealist huh," Falcone says, "Well, there's an answer for that too." "I don't want to know," Crane replies. "Yes you do," Falcone then says.

My Mask
After he was captured by Batman, Falcone slit his wrists in normal prison, going for the insanity plea. Crane was called down to the prison just in case Falcone was indeed insane. Upon entering his cell, Falcone begins to complain about how he is having to pretend he is insane, joking, "A few more days of this food, and it will be true." When Crane asks what he wants, Falcone replies that he wants to know how Crane will keep him from talking about what he's doing. "You don't know anything," Crane replies. Falcone reveals that he knows that the cops would find something if they examined Crane's drugs closer, and about Crane's experiments on the inmates of Arkham saying, "I never get into business with a man without learning his dirty secrets." Falcone says that he knows Crane's boss is planning something big, and wants to know what it is. "I know what he'd say," Crane replies, "That we should kill you." Falcone shrugs this off saying that not even he could get him in Gotham. Crane then says, "Would you like to see my mask? I use it in my experiments." Crane pulls out his mask and tells Crane about how the crazies at Arkham are frightened by it. As Crane puts it on Falcone says, "When did the nut takeover the nuthouse?" Crane fires a gas from his briefcase at Falcone, making him panic. Crane then leaves the cell and tells a worker, "He's not faking. Not that one.  I'll have him moved to a secure wing at Arkham, I can't treat him here." He then walks away.
