Jonathan Crane : About what? You don't know anything. Carmine Falcone : I know you don't want the police to take a closer look at the drugs they seized. And I know about your experiments with the inmates of your nuthouse. See, I don't go into business with a guy without finding out his dirty secrets. And those goons you used - I own the muscle in this town. Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months, so whatever he's planning, it's big, and I want in.
Jonathan Crane : Well, I already know what he'll say: that we should kill you. Carmine Falcone : [chuckling] No, even he can't get me in here. Not in my town. Jonathan Crane : [sighs, then matter-of-factly] Would you like to see my mask? I use it in my experiments. Jonathan Crane : Now, probably not very frightening to a guy like you, but these crazies, they can't stand it. Carmine Falcone : So when did the nut take over the nuthouse? The Scarecrow : They scream, and they cry.
Much as you're doing now. He is still screaming]. Jonathan Crane : Well, he's not faking, not that one.
I'll talk to the judge and see if I can get him moved to the secure wing at Arkham. I can't treat him here. Batman : Taste of your own medicine, doctor? Batman : What was your plan? Who are you working for? Jonathan Crane : [terrified] Ra's Al Ghul! Batman : Ra's Al Ghul is dead. Jonathan Crane : Dr. Crane isn't here right now, but if you'd like to make an appointment Jonathan Crane : [the lights have shut off] He's here.
Arkham Thug 1 : Who? Jonathan Crane : The Batman. Arkham Thug 1 : What do we do? Jonathan Crane : What anyone does when a prowler comes around Arkham Thug 1 : You want the cops here?
Jonathan Crane : At this point, they can't stop us. But in terms of narrative, Nolan might have had other reasons to bring Scarecrow back. Adrienne Tyler is a features writer for Screen Rant.

Once a doctor at Arkham Asylum, Crane's obsession with fear led him to conduct unethical experiments on inmates, creating his own chemicals and drugs to cause mass hallucinations and panics, all in the name of his research. It wasn't long before he ended up on the other side of the straitjacket, after he crafted himself a costume and alter ego and terrorized Gotham City at large as the Scarecrow.
The Scarecrow is one of Batman's most dangerous enemies. After all, how do you inspire terror in the heart of a man who has mastered fear itself? Jonathan Crane's father was a failed psychologist who was obsessed with fear.
A cruel and abusive man, broken by the loss of his wife, his father subjected Crane to countless psychological experiments, searching for a way to overcome and master the ability to feel fear. These experiments often involved locking poor young Jonathan alone in the dark in the basement of their house, despite Jonathan screaming and crying to be let out, and testing his psychoactive chemicals on his son.
At school, Jonathan was bullied and tormented by his fellow students for his gaunt appearance and social awkwardness, resulting in an overwhelming sense of isolation throughout his childhood. On one occasion when Jonathan was locked in the basement, his father had a heart attack and died, forcing Jonathan to breathe the fear gas his father had pumped in until the police finally arrived. Jonathan was rescued, but severely traumatized.
Jonathan grew up to become a professor of psychology at Gotham University, but was fired for his unorthodox methods, which involved abusing students with his own experiments in fear. Later, he attempted to become a practicing psychologist, but he flew into a rage when one of his patients refused to see the value of overcoming their fears; Jonathan murdered them.
From that point onward, he dedicated himself to using the most extreme methods imaginable—pursuing his obsessions as the Scarecrow. Though he is a human with no powers or abilities, Jonathan Crane has a remarkable intellect and an almost limitless supply of fear toxin, a hallucinogenic chemical of his own design that prompts panic in the human brain by exposing its subjects to their darkest nightmares.
Crane himself is largely immune to the drug's effects, though from time to time he has inadvertently exposed himself to it and suffered psychoactive consequences. In addition to his fear toxin, Crane's background in psychology makes him a master manipulator and criminal mastermind, though largely in service to his "research," rather than any material gain.
His lessons in the psychology of fear saw him firing a gun in the lecture hall, terrifying his students and resulting in his dismissal.
