5/15/2023 0 Comments Batman arkham asylum scarecrow![]() Bad Boss: Not as bad as the Arkham Knight, but it's there. ![]() Badass Bookworm: He's a psychologist, after all.And when the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruins and I turn my gaze to the world beyond, the legend of the Batman will be worth nothing at all. That's how little the safety you provided was worth. Emptied your city with a vial of toxin and a few threatening words. To the cowards quaking behind the police department's walls: you will not be spared. To the vandals who stayed behind to pick the still-warm flesh from Gotham's bones: have your fun. Scarecrow: Remnants of Gotham: I have messages for you all. It's even lampshaded by a doctor in Arkham Asylum. Despite Scarecrow's definite sadism, it's pretty clear that he isn't psychotic and just loves spreading fear and pain. Ax-Crazy: Surprisingly, he's not this at all.A Taste Of His Own Medicine: His ultimate defeat has him injected by an overdose of his very own fear toxin, breaking his mind and reducing him to a whimpering, perpetually-terrified mess.In Knight, sympathy for him is nonexistent when his mind is completely shattered by his fear toxin after exposing Batman's identity to the world. But then again, he was just about to poison Gotham's water supply with his fear toxin, so he doesn't exactly elicit sympathy from the player. Asshole Victim: In Asylum, Scarecrow gets mauled by Killer Croc, who had mistaken him for a guard.In Knight, he has become the Big Bad and Final Boss of the series. Ascended Extra: In Asylum, he appeared only three times albeit in the most terrifying sequences of the game.Arch-Enemy: Following the Joker's death, he becomes this to Batman, especially after all the destruction he caused the city and forcing Batman to reveal his identity.In this case, it's justified, since Killer Croc's attack on him in Asylum left him crippled and in a leg brace. Here, he's a Non-Action Big Bad who gets thrown around like a rag doll every time Batman gets close enough to attack or interrogate him. In the comics, Scarecrow was a skilled martial artist who used a style called "violent dancing", a combination of drunken boxing and Crane-style kung fu, along with being adept with a scythe or sickle. Adaptational Wimp: He gets a case of this as well.In Asylum, his psychiatrist's tapes reveal he doesn't even think Crane's crazy so much as he is just pure evil. Here, he can best be described as straight-up monstrous. Adaptational Jerkass: In the comics, Scarecrow has sympathetic qualities.This makes the Arkham Scarecrow more than likely the most terrifying and dangerous incarnation of the character yet. In Knight, he also accomplishes something that none of the Rogues has ever done: he exposes Batman's secret identity to the world, and at that moment destroys the mythos Bruce spent years building up. This Scarecrow on the other hand is a cunning Chessmaster who serves as one of the greatest foes Batman ever faced, on par with Joker and Bane, and is feared by most other members of the Rogues Gallery. While most incarnations of Scarecrow are legitimate threats in their own right, they have always been minor villains or part of a Big Bad Duumvirate, and they rely on their fear toxin. Adaptational Badass: Especially in Arkham Knight, where Joker's death left a power vacuum allowing Scarecrow the chance to step in as the new Big Bad of Batman's rogues gallery.If injected with enough of his fear toxin, it can overpower his immunity as Batman happily demonstrates. Acquired Poison Immunity: According to his bio in Knight, Scarecrow has been exposed to his toxin for so long that it has granted him partial immunity to it.Abusive Parents: His Grandma is implied to be abusive.
