>>93895208>>93897940>he's more predictable than Joker or RiddlerI worked with Professor Crane over the years, and I just can't agree with you. The Joker, you always know him to be dangerous. The Riddler, he can be zany or Saw-esque, but he never harms his henchmen.
Jonathan Crane... Whatever they are treating him with at Arkham, it doesn't work. Or maybe it works too well. He has too many of these personalities, all connected to the general idea of "fear".
I first met him after the earthquake, when Gotham got NoMansLand'ed. He was running "protection" over a small district around a church. Incredibly chill dude, intelligent and contemplative, him, me and the priest discussed the Bible and religion in general for days before I moved to Penguin's quarter. Then I hear, Scarecrow's gone mad and tried to do some creepy experiment in the church stopped by Huntress or the Bat, I don't recall.
Later on I'm on mission to break into Arkham, end up running into Crane. He's unmasked, looks like a sad, tired nerd, his eyes are pleading for pity. He grabs my chest, mumbles something about how much he's scared, I try to get the man to calm down, but no dice. The Joker pounces on us, I get the hell outta here, don't know what he did to Crane.
Next time is sometime after the zombie invasions. I'm broke, looking for any kind of job that pays, end up meeting Scarecrow by sheer coincidence. He's lost all sense of hygiene, wears that damn mask with a noose on his neck, acts angry and aloof. Still, he pretends like he remembers me and hires to watch security cameras around his lab. Turns out he's kidnapping some children, experimenting on them before giving the kids back to their families. I'm torn between standing by this guy I've considered somewhat of a friend and just calling the cops on him. But, then comes Batman. Shit goes wrong for everybody, Crane's hideout is about to blow up, Batman escapes. Crane STILL got the little girl out of the building before it exploded.
