A Reward for a Sentencing"DEATH! By exile."

Jonathan Crane smiled as the newest people were led away to their doom on the fragile ice of Gotham Bay. The commissioner himself was in this lot.

Standing, he rapped his gavel against the makeshift podium once more.

"I believe we are done for the day, gentlemen."

His smile grew slightly while the men around him parted as he stepped down to the floor. Casually, he brushed a fleck of dirt off his ripped suit jacket and continued on to his private rooms without a backward glance.

One didn't need to glance backward when one was under the protection of Bane.

He walked for a bit, one hand trailing along the marred brick-wo

Houston, We Have a ProblemEdward Nygma was bored.

And if there was one thing that he simply would not tolerate, it was boredom.

Luckily, his brilliant mind had a solution.

Smiling smugly to himself, Eddie stood at the entrance of the hallway, just a few feet from the freshly waxed floor of the hallway.

He wriggled his toes in his soft socks, reaching up to adjust his bright green goggles and slick back his hair before crouching slightly.

"Eddie to ground control…Eddie to ground control…" he muttered to himself. "We are ready for lift off!"

Taking a step forward, he ran at the hallway, arms pumping.

"YaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA-OOF!"

Before his feet could hit t

StayingJonathan Crane gently rocked the Riddler back and forth, shushing him softly as he began to cry again. Edward Nygma hadn't had a good night's sleep in days, constantly waking up from nightmare after nightmare.

Usually they were about his father, but this time it had been worse.

This time, Eddie had dreamt that Jonathan was going to leave him.

"Shhh…it's alright…"

Eddie shook, pressing his face even harder into the Scarecrow's shirt. "P-please,Jon,don'tleavemedon'tpleasepleasepleaseI'msorryIwon'tcryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'm…"

Jonathan shook his head, holding him tightly against his chest. "Eddie. Listen to me…I won't

The Diner"Clean cup, clean cup, move down…" Jervis Tetch murmured to himself as he changed lanes, driving a bit slower through the falling snow.

Jonathan Crane sighed, looking out the window in the backseat. He watched the swirling whiteness, grateful to be inside the car where it was warm, one hand softly carding through Edward Nygma's hair.

The Riddler lay, half curled on the seat beside him, head in Jonathan's lap- fast asleep.

Jervis ceased muttering to himself about tea and clean cups and turned slightly, whispering. "Shall we get some food, Marchie?"

Jonathan looked away from the window, glad that their driver had sense enough to whispe

Scarecrow (Burtonized)by ~otusasio451

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Traditional / Other

UPDATE: Got 3rd place in the contest, after losing to Joker Little's Nolanized Penguin and Eric Kenney's Burtonized Riddler, both of which rightfully were placed over my submission, which I honestly didn't expect to be one of the finalists at ALL, so, yeah. I am very happy about this, and congrats to Joker Little for winning! Now, I must work on redesigning Daredevil. Here is the link for the contest, in case you're curious.

My submission for the Superhero of the Month redesign contest. The goal is to render either Penguin, Scarecrow, or Riddler in a way that one of the Batman movie directors would interpret them, provided they have not already done so. So, Penguin as interpreted by Joel Schumacher or Christopher Nolan, Riddler as interpreted by Tim Burton or Christopher Nolan, and/or Scarecrow as interepreted bu Tim Burton or Joel Schumacher. I did Burtonized versions of Riddler and Scarecrow. Below if the description of a possible origin I think Burton would have given Jonathan Crane, AKA Scarecrow.

Jonathan Crane was put under the care of his somewhat crazed grandmother, who was somewhat of a bird fanatic, and had a large broken-down aviary on her property. Although he was warned not to go into the aviary, young Jonathan ventured inside. There, he was viciously attacked by a murder of crows, and his right hand was damaged so badly that amputation was required. Due to this, he developed a crippling fear of crows all through his adolescence, and was mocked and bullied in high school, both for his amputation and for his somewhat lanky stature, earning the mocking nickname 'Scarecrow.' One night, when walking home, he was ambushed by some of his tormentors and strung up in a field, like a scarecrow. This was the last straw, and Jonathan sought revenge on his tormentors. He replaced his prosthetic hand with a sickle, and dressed up as a Scarecrow. At a school dance, Crane cornered the leader of his tormentors outside of the school. Frightened by the Scarecrow, the bully ran into the busy street, and was subsequently struck by a car, killing him. Crane, shocked by this unexpected result, ran away and left the town permanently. Eventually, he gained his doctoral degree in psychology at Gotham University and became a professor of parapsychology, having become fascinated with the power of fear. But when he was fired by the university for inappropriate conduct, both in class and his research, he sought revenge once again...

I got to say ...The sickle hand is awesome !!

But it's got to be hard to manipulate chemicals with that .

Interesting design, indeed . I don't feel the Burton Touch that much (well, except for the white and black stripes ), it's still pretty cool !

~otusasio451 Aug 23, 2012 Hobbyist Filmographer

A rare fan of the sickle hand! And, yeah, the Burtonness of it is heavily concentrated in the stripes.

~jihef03 Sep 7, 2012

Since I'm a fan of amputed fictionnal characters .

(Captain Hook for the win !)
The sickle hand is effective from a visual point of view, but not very useful for him, I admit , since he's doing a lot of chemicals stuff .

~Zumbotron Aug 22, 2012

This is great

I could somewhat imagine this as the Burton style Scarecrow

Nice Job, would love to see more of these

~otusasio451 Aug 23, 2012 Hobbyist Filmographer

I've been thinking of doing other Burtonnized movie villains, like Poison Ivy or Bane. Might do it. Haven't decided yet, though.

~Zumbotron Aug 24, 2012

What about Burtonised Ra's Al Ghul?

that's a pretty awesome concept, no ones attempted it other than Nolan would love to see your (or should I say Burton's) twist on the character

~otusasio451 Aug 24, 2012 Hobbyist Filmographer

Hmmmm....knowing Burton, though, he'd probably just make him a zomb...suddenly I have a newfound interest in this idea. Good suggestion!

~Zumbotron Aug 24, 2012

Thanks, for some reason if Burton ever had Ra's Al Ghul in his movies I imagined he could cast someone like Christopher Lambert as him (or Henri Ducard but that's just me)

~Yami-Tomoshibi Aug 13, 2012

Wow! Outstanding job, buddy! I love this design...But I can't say I care for the hook hand. Either way, you did great, and I think this deserved to be in at least second place!

~otusasio451 Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Filmographer

Thanks, man! Yeah, not a lot of people are fans of the hook hand, understandably. Kind of a last minute decision on my part, honestly. Still, thanks for the compliment!
