PLEASEE hear me out...Tangent incoming..

I think Scarecrow should have henchmen. Not in the typical way, not as copies of his own design or men in cheap, orange, and black Halloween costumes.

His entire persona and goal in life was created in childhood for a few reasons. But it was mostly because of the way religion was used to control and strike fear into himself by his great-grandmother.

He was also a professor for a long time, and loved it. Now stay with me here...

I think he would find people who were struggling - financially, emotionally, physically, and promise that his work & his research would help them confront and accept their fears, therefore making life easier by making the feeling of fear something to almost take pride in. Or to get rid of, depending on the version. Either way, something scientific to understand. Almost using a sort of cult tactic in his way of getting these people on his side, promise their lives will improve so long as they assist him in his research. Important research of the human mind. They're a part of something IMPORTANT.

And I like to think after that, he would almost treat them like students. They refer to him as a doctor or professor, and he often goes as far as to grade their performance. Or treat his schemes like assignments because to HIM, it is genuine scientific research.

And I like to think they would be dressed as crows. Different styles of bird mask, raggedy dark, and feathery clothing. And/or I imagine they would wear masks that purposefully trigger an uncanny valley sort of look and appear as farmers. Either way, just complimenting his theme without looking identical. Just hear me out...

Jonathan tends to address just about anyone under the age of forty as "girl," "boy," or "child." He avoids doing this to 26-year-old Mary, as he correctly assumed that she would be sensitive to that sort of thing. It was a memorable day in the Arkham rec room when he slipped up once and a solid category 3 punch-in-the-balls ensued. Harley explained that it was just a term of endearment, as the victim was incapacitated for a hot minute.

Mary apologized. Jonathan neither apologized nor made the same mistake twice.

Echo is straight and Query is a lesbian. The two are best friends.

My version of Harley Quinn has the legal name Charlotte Quincy instead of Harleen Quinzel and spells her rogue moniker “Harleyquin.” She greatly prefers to go by Harley, but doesn’t mind when Crane addresses her by her given name.

Everyone thinks that Two-Face is bisexual, but he’s actually straight and so pissed about it. Unfortunately, he felt nothing when he kissed Bruce years ago, and he figures that if you’re not attracted to Bruce Wayne, you simply aren’t attracted to men. The other rogues are surprised when he admits that he’s heterosexual. Crane thinks it’s hilarious, while Harley rapidly goes through the five stages of grief over Harvey’s sexuality not committing to the bit.
