Two years later in Detective Comics #73, he escapes from jail and forms a gang of criminals to do his bidding. He is then sent to Gotham State Penitentiary. After Batman and Robin learn of the plan and question Dodge, Scarecrow attempts to kill him, but the Dynamic Duo capture him in the nick of time. In his second appearance, he approached a store owner named Dodge with the offer to rob other establishments, in order to increase his sales. Bruce Wayne, who happens to be a patron and trustee of the university, investigates the matter as Batman and discovers Crane's disturbing behavior and forced resignation, leading him to suspect the professor. When Herold refused to cooperate upon meeting and hearing his demands, the Scarecrow killed him and became a media sensation.
His first crime involved a businessman named Frank Kendrick being sued by a former partner, Paul Herold.
In terms of his costume, he merely wore a ragged black hat, trench coat, mask, and wielded a Tommy gun. His modus operandi is to use his Scarecrow persona and threaten his victims into doing whatever he wants. Ostracized by his fellow professors for his appearance and reclusiveness, he turned to crime to make himself part of the social elite. The only thing revealed about his early life is that, as a child, he had liked to frighten birds.

When the series was revamped and shown together with Superman: The Animated Series, the character was voiced by Jeffrey Combs. He was featured several times in the Emmy-winning 1990's cartoon Batman: The Animated Series, where he was first played by Henry Polic II. Batman writers of the 1960's revived him and he has since consistently appeared in Batman comic books. The Scarecrow made only two appearances in the 1940's. He does not commit his crimes for wealth, but rather as a form of "research" to further study the effects of fear on humans (later, he does it to satisfy his own psychopathic desires), making Gothamites his unwilling guinea pigs. The Scarecrow is an overly-obsessive and deranged ex-professor of psychology who uses a variety of drugs and psychological tactics to use the fears and phobias of his adversaries. His scarecrow costume, lanky appearance and surname were inspired by Ichabod Crane of the horror fable "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Created by Batman creators Bill Finger and Bob Kane, he first appeared in World's Finest Comics #3 (Fall 1941). Jonathan Crane, also known as the Scarecrow, is a Gotham City supervillain and a major enemy of Batman. For other uses, see Scarecrow (Disambiguation)ĭr.
