I love how this shows Crane doesn't even need his gas and toxins to manipulate people's fears. He can get to you with simple words and a long conversation - that's the power of the Scarecrow.
In one comic, Crane convinced a therapist to commit suicide right in front of him just by talking to him. He had no costume or fear toxin, just his intelligence.
@@puffpuffpassmako I’m sorry that it’s been two years but I wanna know which Comic lol Wanna try and find it to read it myself because that sounds like a great read
"I believe he is quite sane. Just evil." Such a simple line, but I love it. That's what really makes Scarecrow so unique compared to the other Batman villains: he doesn't have a real psychological reason for hurting people. He just does it because he wants to, and that's what makes him terrifying.
The funny thing is that describes a lot of Batman's villains, while they aren't exactly "normal", most of them are fully aware of what they're doing and just don't care, even if maybe they can't care. Being a sociopath is not the same as being criminally insane.
It's a simple line, spoken by a simple man. "Evil", objectively, does not exist. It is always a matter of perspective and goals. Scarecrow wants revenge against those who wronged him - eventually, that desire for revenge widened to not only those who wronged him in the past, but everybody, everywhere. Is that evil? No, that is a man hurt so much that he has no concept of right and wrong anymore, a man completely broken. Calling it "evil" cheapens the struggle of such people and cheapens the study of psychology.
"I knew it! What was it like? What have you seen???" That, to me, sounds like the heart of a scientist. Despite his cruel practices, Scarecrow really does just want to know the secrets of fear.
Hugo and Scarecrow would probably have a mutual respect and admiration for each other. I think they'd get along fine, but they'd be secretly plotting against each other.
That would either result in an epic battle of wits or them teaming up in some form because of their mutual intellectual approach. Hugo is, however, more of an open mind, whereas Jonathan has a more single-minded obsession which somewhat hampers his intelligence (or rather, directs it towards one specific area).
I'd imagine it would be as DraculaCronqvist said: an epic battle of wits. Or, more specifically, a jerk-off session where the two of them trade insults in an attempt to feed their egos while breaking the other's.
I mean if I had a trained Martial Artist Detective who vists weakly I sure wouldn't mind working there btw the Arkham Secruity is possibly the worst Secruity team ever like did you see the joker he broke out so easily and the doctors can't fix anyone or cure anyone
MrScarechrome In the terms of the story, the voice change is due to Killer Croc tearing up his larynx. In reality, it was just an attempt to make him sound more intimidating. Which it did.
The way he gets to someone just by words and no fear gas is creepy. The only viable way to get to someone is by playing with their expectations and perceptions, once they’ve lost control of their ability to comprehend their rational thought, game over. Jonathan crane is an expert in the study of psychology and can easily break through to know what drives their deepest fears..
@go4moo For me, it'd go: Me: May I have a drink of water? Teacher: I'm afraid not. Me: Interesting choice of words, teach.... Tell me, WHAT are you afraid of? Teacher: *facepalm* you are not Scarecrow, now pay attention. Me: *mumbles* this is what I get for having a teacher that likes Batman...
Me: "Can I get a drink of water?" Teacher: "I'm afraid not." Me: "... Interesting choice of words.. Tell me, what are you afraid of?" Teacher: "Wut." Me: "nothing...."
I liked how Batman used Scarecrow's tactics of making people afraid against him at the end. I can just see Scarecrow's face being filled with fear as Batman told him that Dr. Kellerman fooled him. I don't care how powerful as a villain you can be; there's just certain times where your own tactics backfire in your face.
The only thing I would have done to make the interview more creepy would be, in Interview 3, to have Scarecrow refer to the doctor's children by name the way he referred to the doctor's wife by name.
Crane was known to be very lazy when it came to paperwork. It takes awhile to earn a patients trust. Years may go by. If the patient reveals what's wrong right away there's no need for all the unnecessary paperwork. He may have had the same idea you do now, but got the dosage wrong and killed someone. Thus his career was ruined.
@vgman94 Depends on what you look to be counted as 'Sane' and 'Insane.' We are all afraid of something. He just goes in-depth about all the everyday things we are afraid of and turns them against us in the worst of ways, but it's true. Deeply rooted in all of our choices is a fear; whether or not we like it, it's there.
@shadowrunt21 yes it was Batman, but not in the period of Arkham Asylum, Arkham Asylum takes place in December 23 and the last interview tape was on Februrary 14, maybe Batman had to go just to stop Crane at that time.
what i love about scarecrow is that if batman was not the good guy or everything were happening in real life (where the good guy dosen't always win), he would have defeated batman a long time ago.
Don Messick (Superfriends) set the standard for Scarecrow's voice Jeffery Combs (New Batman Adventures) was the first to perfect it Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins) revolutionized Scarecrow This scarecrow seems to be a mixture of those three
Oh. Thanks for informing me. I was kinda confused. Well, I still think that they could not fully suit up, as materials on the island were not villain suits. If Scarecrow had his materials, I think he would've looked like this.
Was I the only one who was utterly convinced of how similar Scare Crow was to the rest of us after watching this? Now this really makes me question if we're really just deluding ourselves with psychiatric practices. Anyone, it seems, could make someone look like a crazy person with technical jargons like Scare Crow did to his interviewers.
I love how this shows Crane doesn't even need his gas and toxins to manipulate people's fears. He can get to you with simple words and a long conversation - that's the power of the Scarecrow.
He also apparently had a form of his toxin in his cologne.
In one comic, Crane convinced a therapist to commit suicide right in front of him just by talking to him. He had no costume or fear toxin, just his intelligence.

Being a sociopath is not the same as being criminally insane.
Scarecrow is a terrorist in the sense that Batman uses fear to overtake criminals. Dr. Crane is a psychiatrist who uses emotions to manipulate people.
It's a simple line, spoken by a simple man. "Evil", objectively, does not exist. It is always a matter of perspective and goals. Scarecrow wants revenge against those who wronged him - eventually, that desire for revenge widened to not only those who wronged him in the past, but everybody, everywhere. Is that evil?

@@DraculaCronqvist that's so greatly explained. Amazing!! As a child who was constantly picked on and bullied I'm guessing I can relate to scarecrow
@@rougheredge6705 At least Victor Zsasz, and Mad Hatter are insane.
"I knew it! What was it like? What have you seen???" That, to me, sounds like the heart of a scientist. Despite his cruel practices, Scarecrow really does just want to know the secrets of fear.
DR. Murphy is a reference to Cillian Murphy who played Crane in Batman begins.
Robert Lythgoe Indeed
Dr Combs is a reference to Jeffrey Combs who played him in The New Batman Adventures.
I love that so much. Cillian was amazing in the role
*How does that make you feel? Threatened? Humiliated?...*
*Scared?*
I would've loved to see Scarecrow interact with Hugo.
Hugo and Scarecrow would probably have a mutual respect and admiration for each other. I think they'd get along fine, but they'd be secretly plotting against each other.
That would either result in an epic battle of wits or them teaming up in some form because of their mutual intellectual approach. Hugo is, however, more of an open mind, whereas Jonathan has a more single-minded obsession which somewhat hampers his intelligence (or rather, directs it towards one specific area).
I bet Hugo would win. He may be insane but he has. Better control of his emotions for the most part.
I'd imagine it would be as DraculaCronqvist said: an epic battle of wits. Or, more specifically, a jerk-off session where the two of them trade insults in an attempt to feed their egos while breaking the other's.
who in their right mind would want to work at Arkham Asylum? Like, seriously.
The only way I can rationalise it is that the job probably pays well.
Random FNAF what is bad is that i somewhat want to lol
Jeffrey Combs and Cilian Murphey apparently.
I mean if I had a trained Martial Artist Detective who vists weakly I sure wouldn't mind working there btw the Arkham Secruity is possibly the worst Secruity team ever like did you see the joker he broke out so easily and the doctors can't fix anyone or cure anyone
Hugo Strange,I think he enjoyed doing his job while he worked at Arkham.
Woah, his voice changes so dramatically between this game and Arkham Knight.
MrScarechrome In the terms of the story, the voice change is due to Killer Croc tearing up his larynx. In reality, it was just an attempt to make him sound more intimidating. Which it did.
Its almost like he hits puberty at the Last game
That’s what happens when you get mauled by a crocodile
OneSockOff 😂😂😂
@Miguel Messina bro that comment was 5 years ago why th are you responding to it for 😂
When Batman said scared like that, I got scared.
Ironic that the last tapes happen on Valentine's Day
If Scarecrow had a girlfriend he'd probably celebrate Valentine's Day by spraying her with his fear gas.
Xehanort10 Sounds kinky
Ash tray someone needs to make a dialogue about it.
The way he gets to someone just by words and no fear gas is creepy.
The only viable way to get to someone is by playing with their expectations and perceptions, once they’ve lost control of their ability to comprehend their rational thought, game over.
Jonathan crane is an expert in the study of psychology and can easily break through to know what drives their deepest fears..
looks like he's coming back with more bigger scary treats in his goodie bag for Arkham Knight! He could mix it up with the Titan formula.
Wow what affects would that be I hope it won't be a giant monster afraid of everything or a fear inescapable but we will find out soon
4:34 -4:45 that last bit is just amazing goes to show how much wil miss Kevin Conroy and his performance
Kinda creepy how much sense he was making
Just imagine these tapes with the new scarecrow voice
That would be both terrifying and awesome!
Nah, imagine 'em with the voice of Scarecrow in Netherrealm Studios' Injustice 2: the legendary *Robert Englund* !
Wouldn't really fit. Noble's voice fits a calm scarecrow while Dino's voice fits a more over the top version.
Scarecrow is my favorite villain.
Feels weird to hear Scarecrow say my name
hello stephen
He played them like a violin and cut their strings
This is why scarecrow is my favorite DC villain
@go4moo For me, it'd go:
Me: May I have a drink of water?
Teacher: I'm afraid not.
Me: Interesting choice of words, teach.... Tell me, WHAT are you afraid of?
Teacher: *facepalm* you are not Scarecrow, now pay attention.
Me: *mumbles* this is what I get for having a teacher that likes Batman...
Scarecrow is one of the best Arkham villains.
When you think of it, Scarecrow is actually right in his views, and makes perfect sense, that is why he is my favourite male villain :D
Is it weird that I'm totally in love with his voice ?
Me: "Can I get a drink of water?"
Teacher: "I'm afraid not."
Me: "... Interesting choice of words.. Tell me, what are you afraid of?"
Teacher: "Wut."
Me: "nothing...."
Professor Jonathan Crane is like the best Batman villian in the world as the scarecrow. I really liked him since I was like a kid
No wonder crane went crazy working at the asylum day in and day out.
You have to admit Scarecrow demanding a strong drink is pretty funny.
Kind of funny that the last tape is on Valentine's Day
Lol, fear is Scarecrow's one true love.
Scarecrow has always been my favorite comic book villain, but I love him more than ever before in this game!
He sounds like an Bosmer or Altmer in Oblivion.
His parts in the game were awesome as FUCK!!
Scared my socks off!
Scarcrow was personally my favorite villan in the game
You know what would be awesome? Having Dr. Crane and Dr. Lecter meet up. Can you imagine the sheer epicness of that? O.o
I liked how Batman used Scarecrow's tactics of making people afraid against him at the end. I can just see Scarecrow's face being filled with fear as Batman told him that Dr. Kellerman fooled him. I don't care how powerful as a villain you can be; there's just certain times where your own tactics backfire in your face.
Scarecrow was always someone i found, how should i call it? Facinating
Apparently my fear of hospitals out weighs my fear of death lol
I'm not the only one who thinks Crane sounds like a middle aged therapist woman?
not gonna lie that was pretty damn awesome
Damn, he is such a sociopath!
He's a sadist.
Is it weird that I think it would be fun to be crane's patient?
Scarecrow = LOVE
and the game says so too! Just look at the date on the last two tapes! :D
nothing is as twisted as the batman's rogue gallery
I l o v e it!
2:15. As messed up in the head scarecrow is, He speaks the truth
Who else thinks that Scarecrow is about to perform a serious karate move in this picture.
Scarecrows voice reminds me of Envy from FMA
lol I love the little role reversal they did forCrane's tapes lmao
That was epic with the Batman beating Scarecrow at his own game at the end
this guy is the best scarecrow ever!
@dontKILLmyCAT And there's a Dr. Combs. Jeffrey Combs played him in the animated series!
-CL
Fear Gas on other villians would make an amazing video
4:05 I already know what’s happening
awww jonathan cute
Nami ナミ sakamaki
HOW!?
The only thing I would have done to make the interview more creepy would be, in Interview 3, to have Scarecrow refer to the doctor's children by name the way he referred to the doctor's wife by name.
I don't know why but I laughed when Batman said "scared" at the end. Also did anyone else notice that guard had a troubled childhood?
I think someone had daddy issues.
Fast forward to Arkham Knight: "What's wrong? Scared?"
Oh Bats, you're good...
i would like it if at the end of the video you show the other stuff as the bio and such, cool tapes
I am listenin' this video right now 'cause I'm scared of gettin' all bored.
After 8 years i found this and understood the joke
can someone explain to me y does Crane sound like a woman
Maybe because he is wearing a mask?! And he won't take it off maybe?!
oh really kool thanks thought it was bc that how he sounded "normal"
kevin najera Since it's weird and creepy
It's roughly the actual voice of his actor, Dino Andrade. See here: th-cam.com/video/bG9U-jamGDw/w-d-xo.html.
They had Mr. Freeze, don't you remember the frozen cell in intensive treatment?
I almost couldn't tell who was the real psychiatrist. Crane's scary.
Crane was known to be very lazy when it came to paperwork. It takes awhile to earn a patients trust. Years may go by. If the patient reveals what's wrong right away there's no need for all the unnecessary paperwork. He may have had the same idea you do now, but got the dosage wrong and killed someone.

Scarecrow is my favourite Batman villain.
He actually sounds somewhat like Jeffrey Combs here.
If I was Crane, I would've exclaimed,"..GASP! THE BATMAN!!!!!!"

He just goes in-depth about all the everyday things we are afraid of and turns them against us in the worst of ways, but it's true.

am i the only one who is glad in arkham city it actulley shows what they realy look like in the game instead of the drawings of them?
dr murphy and dr combs, cillian murphy and jeffrey combs both played/voiced scarecrow
second tape is on my birthday haha oh jon, i do luv ya.
Special Appearance of Batman!
@dontKILLmyCAT Of course Cillian Murphy voiced Scarecrow in the movie. Here, Scarecrow is voiced by Dino Andrade.
Can you imagine him, Frasier and Niles at Cafe Nervosa, arguing methodology and bitching about subpar coffee?
I love scarecrow's voice. :o
what i love about scarecrow is that if batman was not the good guy or everything were happening in real life (where the good guy dosen't always win), he would have defeated batman a long time ago.
You mean when a giant arm got a crate of the titan stuff?
Doesn't the arm change depending on which ever boss you died the most?Because when I played It I saw scaley skin on the hand
Batman owned him at the end...
Don Messick (Superfriends) set the standard for Scarecrow's voice
Jeffery Combs (New Batman Adventures) was the first to perfect it
Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins) revolutionized Scarecrow
This scarecrow seems to be a mixture of those three
Oh. Thanks for informing me. I was kinda confused. Well, I still think that they could not fully suit up, as materials on the island were not villain suits. If Scarecrow had his materials, I think he would've looked like this.
I like the fact that Batman is on this tape 4:09
I love scarecrow long Mary he live
Was that Batman at the end of the last tape? o.O
I thought so :D He did a great job playing Scarecrow imo
@dontKILLmyCAT @triixstar
Cool that you guys caught those references.
Really wonder if Scarecrow will show up in Batman Arkham Origins. And when are they are going to start Batman Arkham World!!!!
intresting choice of words docter. tell me what are you afriad of? awesome quote
I wonder if that was really Batman in the last tape? I think its Scarecrows fear gas affecting himself!
Roland Deschain, if fear is life, that means I have no life... No fears... No life... What's the point of it all now? *gun shots* *deranged laugh*
Scarecrow is the best villian. What better way than to use fear to stop people?
Batman just owned him at the end.
Scarecrow got cologne and put fear toxin in it? And he’s not affected?
It depends on which villain you die most on i think- i personally saw bane's arm instead
Excuse the pun but you shouldn't be AFRAID of fear. Fear defines us, fear drives us. Fear gives us hope, fear takes hope away. FEAR IS LIFE!
In case some people didnt know, Scarecrow is more a psychological villain like the Madhatter I think. Just saying :)
on feb the 14th its st valintines day where you spend time with your loved ones and it is also my birthday :)

I think it would be... exiting. After all people go base jumping. It would be like, extreme therapy.
No it's not. Just find his voice actor on the internet. :D
