| Synopsis | - As a boy, Jonathan Crane had been his father's guinea pig in his experiments with fear. While his father saw the relationship as one of mutual exploration, his lack of compassion and empathy with regard to the horrors and pain that he put Jonathan through left the boy jaded with an implacable desire to please his abuser.
Now, Jonathan Crane is the Scarecrow, and he has captured, finally, the Batman. The Batman will become his guinea pig for explorations in fear. He readily admits that his kidnapping of Commissioner Gordon was merely bait for getting the bat to come to him. With his prey already dosed heavily with fear toxin, Scarecrow holds up a mirror, urging the Batman to recollect his past, despite the fact that the past is familiar territory. He promises that this experiment will be more than a simple retread. In any case, he doesn't care what Batman sees; only how it makes him feel.
Bruce remembers his childhood, and the moment when he was terrified by a swarm of bats after falling into a disused well on the family estate. His mother had comforted him, reminding him that fear is just a part of being human. Bruce's father held a less sympathetic position. Hoping to please his father, Bruce had tried to explain that he wasn't really as scared as he seemed. At the time, Thomas Wayne had been too busy to listen, as he and Martha were going to the opera - leaving Bruce at home by himself again. He had learned, eventually, to take the pain of that loneliness and swallow it whole; make it his own.
The next week, Bruce and his parents had gone to the Monarch Theatre for a showing of The Mark of Zorro. The film's violence had been more than Bruce could handle, and he turned to his mother and admitted he was frightened. Sternly, his father had taken his hand and led them out of the theatre before crouching down before his son, and explaining that he would have to learn not to be afraid of everything. Young Bruce could only say he was sorry. Not long afterwards, it was Bruce crouching over the corpses of his parents, after they had been murdered in the alleys of Park Row.
Stretching his willpower, Batman begins questioning Scarecrow about his past. Crane claims that he has put his past to rest in the same way that Batman has. He recalls internally having tried to escape his father's home, and then being frightened by a murder of crows. He developed a stutter which made him a target for mockery. He felt so alone, but, like Bruce, he had taken what he was given, and swallowed it whole - until it was his. He became a professor of psychology, and when he spotted an opportunity to do further experiments in fear, his methods were misunderstood. He was fired, and set up a private practice, hoping that a one-on-one situation might suit his methods better. However, it had only led him to exercise murderous tendencies.
He gave up, returning to his father's home, and embraced the role of the scarecrow; his true self. Still practice made perfect, and practice he did. After all this, Scarecrow believes that he understands Batman. The vigilante fears nothing but fear itself, but while the Scarecrow has mastered fear, Batman still runs from it.
While conducting research, Scarecrow is troubled by questions from the young girl he kidnapped recently. When she hears his stutter, she comments that she once had one herself, but learned that it was just something that made her special. Angrily, he snaps that she should keep her observations to herself, lest he make her regret them.
Scarecrow returns to torturing Batman, conjuring images of home and family, loved ones, the city he loves. Batman notices that each of these things looks entirely normal to him. Scarecrow explains that that is exactly his point. Even with its great protector gone, the city goes on. Nobody will be waiting to welcome him back. All of the distance that he put between himself and the things that he loves has resulted in those things being relatively unmoved by his absence. This, Scarecrow muses, is what Batman wants: not to exist - which means not to feel loss, pain, or fear.
Bruce recalls having returned to the Manor after his parents' murder. With his mother's words of comfort resonating in his mind, Bruce ran back to the hole he had fallen into, and leapt down into it. Standing there, the bats swarmed around him, but Bruce did not fear them. His mother had said "It's part of being human," but what if Bruce didn't want to be human anymore?

| quotation | - You see, that's why I understand you, Batman. You fear nothing. Except fear itself. That's why you're driven to prove yourself over and over. Just like me. Except you can't. Because I've mastered fear... and you still run from it.

| abstract | - Recordando como su padre solía decirle que para llevar su mismo nombre debía merecérselo, Jonathan Crane se prepara para rendirle honor a la memoria de su padre realizando sus experimentos contra el miedo en Batman. thumb|left|328pxHabiendo usado al Comisionado Gordon como cebo, Crane le administra más toxinas del miedo a Batman y se coloca un espejo sobre su cara para hacerlo revivir los miedos de su pasado. Bruce rememora los peores momentos de su vida, pero aun así Crane no sabe que es lo que está viendo aunque eso no le importa ya que lo hizo para saber qué es lo que sentía el héroe. A causa de sus miedos, cuando era pequeño sus padres no solían llevarlo a muchos lugares, por lo que Bruce solía pasar tiempo solo en la mansión. Por eso no pudo evitar el sentimiento de culpa al recordar que fue su miedo lo que los hizo salir del teatro la fatídica noche que sus padres fueron asesinados. A pesar de estar siendo torturado psicológicamente, Batman logra gritarle al villano que él no fue el único con un pasado complicado. Haciendo caso de sus palabras, Crane también recuerda su niñez atormentada por los experimentos que solía su padre práctica en él. Creciendo solo, se refugió en el estudio como escapatoria de su soledad, pero una vez que obtuvo su título como profesor en psicología fue echado al considerarse que experimentos para curar el miedo de sus alumnos eran poco ortodoxos. Pensando que sus habilidades serian mejor consideras en la práctica privada, decidió comenzar a atender a pacientes de forma personal, pero al encontrar que eso no era para él, comenzó a matar a sus pacientes. Al encontrarse con un espantapájaros, por primera vez se atrevió a convertirse en su verdadero yo. Pero a pesar de tener pasados similares, aun hay una gran diferencia entre ellos: el espantapájaros logro amaestrar el miedo, en cambio Batman huye constantemente de él. Al descubrir que el olor del sudor de personas aterrorizadas causa a otros entrar en estado de híper alerta, formulo la hipótesis de que al sintetizar el sudor para convertirlo en una nueva arma para ayudar en la guerra, optando a una posible financiación estatal. Por eso decidió comenzar a secuestrar niños ya que el pánico se induce con mayor prontitud en los sujetos más jóvenes. Es por eso que eligió a Batman para probar su nueva arma, y rociándolo con el nuevo gas hace que Bruce comience a tener miedo de perder a sus seres queridos actuales. Pero a pesar de que sus miedos no son reales, ninguno de sus seres queridos nota su ausencia. Y estar ausente es apenas existir; y no existir significa no sentir la perdida, no sentir el dolor, no sentir el miedo. Bruce recuerdo la mañana después del entierro de sus padres, cuando regreso a la cueva oscura donde días atrás había caído, preguntándose entre los murciélagos si era posible no ser un humano.
