Batman Variant

Scarecrow wears a black wizard hat. His head depicts a Glow-in-the-Dark face which shows a mask with red eyes and a mouth which has been sewn together. His torso is reddish brown with black hands and depicts raggedy clothing. Scarecrow's legs are also reddish brown.

The content may change as the release approaches and more information becomes available.

His 2013 redesign has his hat and legs recoloured dark brown, his hands dark grey, and his head dark tan. His face has small, red eyes with dark spots surrounding them for a sunken look and a mouth comparable to before, but now closed and smaller. His face is more detailed with printing added to portray the burlap mask he wears.His torso has rope above his waist and below his neck. Tan fabric hangs from the higher rope on his right side and rope dangles on his right.

This variant is based on some of his comic book appearances.

In the Video Games

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Scarecrow is identical to his appearances in 7786 The Batcopter: The Chase for Scarecrow and 7785 Arkham Asylum, but his hat flops when he moves and his head doesn't glow-in-the-dark.

He has a similar appearance in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, except his head seems more tan in colour and he has back printing which is very similar to the printing on his front.

Background

Professor Jonathan Crane was bullied as a child for his bookish nature and scrawny figure. He became obsessed with fear and began to study it, eventually becoming a psychology professor in that field. He taught at Gotham University, but was fired for unethical experimenting. Professor Jonathan Crane then made a career out of villainy and became known as Scarecrow. Not only is he well-versed in fear, but Scarecrow uses it in his specialized toxins to bring out victims' nightmares.

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, The Scarecrow is a a playable character and a boss in the DS game. On consoles, Scarecrow himself is not a boss, but he pilots his Bi-plane, which is.

Scarecrow is able to use mind-control on certain targets and has a limited use of fear gas, which he may use to freeze a single enemy briefly. When Scarecrow uses his bi-plane, he is immune to toxins in the air and may fire fear gas torpedoes at certain targets.

Role in LEGO Batman: The Videogame

In the video game's story, Scarecrow was a part of The Joker's group, which also consisted of Killer Moth, Mad Hatter, and Harley Quinn.

After a series of events which involved the capture of Commissioner Gordon, Batman and Robin arrived to rescue him. The dynamic duo managed to defeat Harley Quinn and rescue Gordon, but Joker managed to escape in his helicopter. He summoned Scarecrow and his bi-plane to help in his escape and to create a diversion which would allow them destroy the Batwing with Batman in it. This plan failed and the dynamic duo gave chase to Scarecrow over the city. They eventually cornered him and were able to defeat him by towing him with the Bat-copter's winch. Scarecrow lost control of his plane after too many hits and crashed into Joker's helicopter. After nodding, Batman left both villains for dead and flew away in the Batwing. However, Joker and Scarecrow managed to escape using giant balloons which slowly lowered them to the ground.

However, the balloons eventually popped and the two fell through the skylight at the Gotham Art Gallery. They eluded the many Police Officers, Police Marksmen, S.W.A.T. Agents, and Security Guards. In the back of the gallery, they discovered an armoured van they planned to use for escape. However, they were ambushed by a group of police officers who grabbed Scarecrow with a crane and pinned Joker up against a wall. Joker managed to escape by contaminating the officers with his laughing gas, but left Scarecrow in his peril. Joker went to meet Killer Moth in a nearby alley and Scarecrow was returned to Arkham Asylum.

In LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes

In LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes, Scarecrow tries to escape after the Asylum Breakout. He is defeated by Batman and Robin during their investigation of The Joker's escape. He later can be found near Gotham Funland in a pumpkin shaped tent, and he can be purchased for 125,000 studs after being subdued. He no longer has mind control or fear gas abilities.

In the portable version, Scarecrow's minikit can be found in Arkham Asylum.

Notes

  • His original variant is one of the few minifigures to have a glow-in-the-dark head.
  • Unlike most of the minifigures in the original Batman theme (who were based on Batman: The Animated Series), Scarecrow was one of the few to be based on the comics. Others included Bane, The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman, and Killer Croc.
