Batman's plain and evil villain Scarecrow

Last September 15th was this year's Batman Day. This year's because the date is different every year. The anniversary started in 2014, the 75th anniversary of Batman birth (I think it would be better to have a fixed date for birthday celebrations), but this year there are campaigns such as distribution of free comics and sales of digital content. Looks like it was damaged. I want it to continue to grow in the future. In particular, next year will be the 80th anniversary of Batman birth.

Speaking of anniversaries, this year marks 10 years since the release of Christopher Nolan's `` The Dark Knight .'' Even now that a new Batman has already appeared in the movies, Nolan's realistic and profound ``The Dark Knight Trilogy'' still has a huge presence. Even though the series ended with 2012's The Dark Knight Rises , versions of the characters still appear in new action figures.

In Nolan's trilogy, the impact of the villain Joker played by Heath Ledger in `` The Dark Knight '' is too great, but it is consistent in all three films of `` Batman Begins '', ``The Dark Knight'', and ``The Dark Knight Rises''. I would like to introduce the villains that appeared. Scarecrow, an evil scarecrow man.

Scarecrow's real name is Jonathan Crane, and in the comics he was an insane psychology professor who experimented on his students to study phobias. He became a criminal out of resentment after being fired from his university, and, armed with a special gas that causes phobia, he disguises himself as the Scarecrow and confronts Batman(most of Batman's villains are like this). …).

In the movie ``Batman Begins,'' the character was changed to a psychiatrist who collaborated with the mafia, and Cillian Murphy played a mysterious role. Whenever a mafia official is accused of a crime, he uses psychiatric evaluations to protect them by putting them in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, where he works, while also creating hallucinogens using the hospital's patients as test subjects. It was a heinous and important role that played a part in the conspiracy, such as flushing it into the sewers of Gotham City. Although he continues to appear in the sequels ``The Dark Knight'' and ``Rising,'' his main appearance is in ``Begins.''

The character Scarecrow was actually inspired by a classic American Halloween ghost story. This is the so-called "Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The name Jonathan Crane comes from the main character, Ichabod Crane.
