Why So Serious?

You know him from the movie The Dark Knight and from video games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City and now Batman: Arkham Origins.   The green hair the crazy smile and the maniacal crackle you know exactly who he is and he will do anything to put a smile on your face.  The Joker stands as the most recognizable villain in the entire comic universe.

He is the complete opposite of the Dark Knight.  Unpredictable, violent and incredibly dangerous.  He creates destruction and chaos by destroying lives and all he does is believe that life is one big joke.  He has killed a Robin and crippled Batgirl he does this all for a laugh.  “Why so serious? Lets put a smile on that face HAHAHAHA.” 

There is Nothing to Fear Except Fear Its Self

Batman strikes fear in to the hearts of his enemies by utilizing terror itself as a weapon.  As the words from Ra’s Al Ghul “Men fear most what they cannot see.”  Although Batman knows how to use fear, as a weapon there is one other, Jonathan Crane, or better known as: The Scarecrow.  As a child Jonathan was used for experiments that make your fears seem more realistic his father conducted these experiments on Jonathan.

               Then one day Jonathan realized if he could control fear it would never control him. Crane graduated from college with a doctorate in psychology and specialty in phobias.  He then started conducting tests of his own using a hallucinogenic fear toxin that he developed himself.  Crane is constantly improving his formula creating more potent and deadlier versions but the Dark Knight is always one step ahead of Crane.
