    Why I think this is only 2 stars

    Firstly, I love love origin stories especially batman enemy related ones.

    What I didn't enjoy about the comic was its constant story dragging.

    In the story Jonathan Crane was an unwanted baby and went to go live with his wealthy grandmother or something, his grandmother then makes potions and gets crows to attack the boy. He later learns that she does this and tries it himself and then he becomes the scarecrow and kills people.

    Meanwhile Batman and Robin don't have a clue of what they are looking for and he shows a real lack of "Detective Skills".

    also Scarecrow leaves clues at his murders that are hardly actually used, in the end batman uses his own version of fear gas on Crane which doesn't work on anyone else (WTF?) and Crane runs off the end of a big drop.

    The Story is incredibly confusing and hardly shows the Scarecrow to be something that people should be scared off.

    It does however have its moments such as a part where Scarecrow has used his gas on his bug phobia filled father and Scarecrow just watches him suffer which is why it is being rewarded at least 2 stars but, the story combined with the awful blocky art deems it a bad comic.

      There's a serial killer running lose in Gotham! And he wears a Scarecrow costume!This issue constantly flashes backward and forward. We're seeing Cran get his revenge on his mentor, while we continually flash back to Batman and Robin as they try to solve the case, as well as Crane's childhood.Looks like Crane grew up in the Oven. I wonder what state Gotham's in. Wherever it is, Bats had to take a jet to get there. (Not a Batplane, this is really a Batjet.) During the investigation, we learn much...
