History
The son of chemist Gerald Crane, Jonathan Crane was born out of wedlock and was left to be raised under the abusive care of his maternal great-grandmother Mary Keeny, a religious fanatic who made him wear a scarecrow outfit to be attacked by crows. This not only gives Crane a fear of Mary Keeny, but also nightmares of animated scarecrow monsters creeping near him. Through both these fears and being bullied in his high school years, Crane became obsessed in phobias and decided to unlock the mysteries by attending Gotham University to study psychology and biochemistry. Though kicked out for conducting experiments on human subjects, Crane found an abundant amount of patients when he became a psychologist in Arkham Asylum while adopting the identity of the Scarecrow and became one of Batman's greatest enemies.

Death Battle Info
In a fight, Crane uses a mixed form of crane-style kung fu and drunken boxing that he refers to as his "Violent Dancing". But Crane prefers to use his intellectual prowess and vast knowledge of phobias to overwhelm an opponent. He is also an expert chemist since he learned to develop his fear toxin.

Gear

 * Mask: While a burlupt bag with a noose neck tie is not intimidating normally, it makes Scarecrow monstrous to those exposed to his Fear Toxins. Such appearances of Scarecrow's face from the perspectives of his afflicted victims involve him having a resemblance to Leatherface, a nightmarish vision of creepy crawlers flooding out from facial orifices, or the appearance of breathing fire.
 * Fear Toxin: A fear-inducing gas that can be deployed from his wrist gauntlets or in mass doses. The effects cause people to live out hallucinations of their greatest phobias with their surroundings becoming surreal and distorted.
 * Scythe
 * Pitchforks
 * Sickle
 * Firearms
 * Black Horse

Feats

 * Briefly a Yellow Lantern
 * Can even cause people like Batman to be insane with his fear toxin

Flaws

 * Dependent on his Fear Toxin. If his enemy can avoid this drug, Scarecrow would be no more dangerous than any other normal human.
 * Batman has gained resistance and sometimes immunity to the drug due to repeated exposure and his willpower/bravery.
