He’s an alien.
You see him drop to earth in the titles.
Actually, he’s an ‘angel’ that has fallen (or returned to Earth because ‘God’ got so tired of dealing with him) from heaven. That’s why they play church choir music during the intro scene.
Fun fact. The choir sing “Ecce homo qui est faba”.
Behold the man who is bean.
And during the end-credits, they sing “Vale homo qui est faba”.
Farewell, the man who is a bean.
My family always took it to mean he was abducted by aliens and promptly spat back because he was so weird.
“It’s Beanin’ time.”
I want a Scarecrow movie.
Psychology professor that is a mastermind of manipulation and fear, with a fear toxin. One of Batman’s most brutal and hardest adversaries compared to Joker events.
Literal mind fuck fear-inducing vilain that does—well, he’d say he doesn’t—some really, really horrifying things.
So done with Jokers
That sounds great. They used Scarecrow in the last season of Titans and that was… disappointing. I’d love to see something like Heath Ledger’s take on the Joker applied to Scarecrow.
Managing to disappoint people in a series with rock bottom expectations is impressive.
Joker 2 could have actually been great, if the last 20 minutes wasn’t what it is.
They set up everything to be what one should expect, and then, instead of continuing, destroyed everything they built.
However, I want to see your Scarecrow movie.
Can we just not make movies where villains are the protagonists?
I think it was already made, it is called The Black Adder.
The best part of Blackadder was the Christmas special, where the lead character starts off as a great guy and then the ghosts visit him and convince him to become a right bastard, culminating in a hilarious scene where he kicks Tiny Tim’s crutch out from under him. Just amazing that nobody else ever thought to do a reverse take on the Christmas Carol cliche like that.
Lead paint.
A real human bean.
I want a Batman movie, where The Joker is Mr. Bean instead.
