Nowadays, he is a professor of psychology at the [[Gotham University]], but his methods are a bit rough and unnecessary. His colleagues often mocked him because he resembled a scarecrow due to his thin complexion and his old clothes. Crane used his earnings to buy more books, but after listening to his peers mocking him, he decided to deliver fear in exchange of money. In this way, Jonathan Crane becomes the Scarecrow and starts terrorizing the enemies of wealthy men for money. |

However, due to Crane's reckless activities as a professor, he is fired from the university, but he doesn't really care enough since he as a new way of making the money he needs to buy more books. When Bruce Wayne visits the president of the college, he learns that a professor known as Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane has been fired and Bruce thinks that he might have a connection with the new criminal. |

However, using his hunch as a lead, Batman disguises as an old man and goes to Crane's house, asking for a phone. After using the phone and getting out of Crane's home, he is sure that Crane is Scarecrow. Batman and Robin wait outside Crane's home to ambush him and when he comes out as Scarecrow, a fight between the three of them start. Scarecrow runs into a child's playground and the dynamic duo follow him. After a long struggle, Batman and Robin are finally able to stop the Scarecrow and the criminal is sent to jail. |

Synopsis for Batman: "The Riddle of the Human Scarecrow"
The Scarecrow
Jonathan Crane was a disturbed kid who liked to scare birds away. Nowadays, he is a professor of psychology at the Gotham University, but his methods are a bit rough and unnecessary. His colleagues often mocked him because he resembled a scarecrow due to his thin complexion and his old clothes. Crane used his earnings to buy more books, but after listening to his peers mocking him, he decided to deliver fear in exchange of money. In this way, Jonathan Crane becomes the Scarecrow and starts terrorizing the enemies of wealthy men for money.
During one of his terrorizing acts, the Scarecrow was spotted by Batman and Robin, who start chasing him but his thin complexion allows Scarecrow to escape.
Some weeks later the crimes of the Scarecrow become known to everyone in the city. However, due to Crane's reckless activities as a professor, he is fired from the university, but he doesn't really care enough since he as a new way of making the money he needs to buy more books. When Bruce Wayne visits the president of the college, he learns that a professor known as Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane has been fired and Bruce thinks that he might have a connection with the new criminal.
Later, the police spot Scarecrow again and the dynamic duo get going to stop him. Batman and Robin find the Scarecrow, but they're unable to stop him. However, using his hunch as a lead, Batman disguises as an old man and goes to Crane's house, asking for a phone. After using the phone and getting out of Crane's home, he is sure that Crane is Scarecrow. Batman and Robin wait outside Crane's home to ambush him and when he comes out as Scarecrow, a fight between the three of them start. Scarecrow runs into a child's playground and the dynamic duo follow him. After a long struggle, Batman and Robin are finally able to stop the Scarecrow and the criminal is sent to jail.
