Sweet plan.

My kind of romantic scene would involve a couple running around in a city destroyed by giant T-Rex. With devilish horn.

“Here, only the mind can grant you power.” — Dr. Jonathan Crane, Batman Begins (2005)

I’m in love with the Batman universe since the dawn of Batman: The Animated Series.

When I’ve finally became a psychology student and learning a thing or two about the field, I found that Batman universe are full of psychological references: the dual-personality of Batman/Bruce Wayne, the mental asylum where Gotham locked up its most dangerous criminals, the complex relationship between Batman and his foes  (notably, The Joker) and the most obvious one: Dr. Jonathan Crane.

Once a psychology professor researching the nature of fear, Crane fall in love with the subject and choose to transform himself into something fearful. He don the mask of a scarecrow and begin to spread fear to Gotham citizen.

Funnily, I used to see this character as campy. In the Golden and Silver age era, Scarecrow looks like a joke. Bruce Timm’s TAS revived the character a bit, then later Jeph Loeb’s Hush and Geoff Johns’ Blackest Night also helped Scarecrow get back into the respected line of Batman villains, yet it’s the movie Batman Begins that represents the character best: an intellectual figure obsessed with human nature called fear.
