Scarecrow is an ex-professor of psychology who uses a variety of experimental toxins to exploit the phobias of his victims. He is an enemy of Batman.
History
Crane was imprisoned in Arkham Asylum during Shredder's and Ra's al Ghul plot to take over Gotham City. He and other Arkham inmates were later freed by the Joker, who sprayed them with mutagen. Scarecrow was transformed into a mutant crow, and subsequently went to the boiler room to wait for Batman's arrival. He was encountered by Leonardo and Batman. A battle occurred during which Scarecrow managed to dose the Turtle with his fear gas, causing him to hallucinate that Crane was murdering his brothers and taunting him. Batman was able to reach through Leonardo's hallucinations which encouraged Leo to defeat Crane.
