I keep coming back to look at this post,,, it's easily one of my favorite looks for Jonathan, both in and out of Scarecrow costume. I'd love to see a full costume design 😭
((Also, the fact his mask doesn't have eyes, and it looks like he doesn't have eyes beneath his glasses in the first pics like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, AH it's SO GOOD))
Can we all take a moment to enjoy Jonathan wheeling around one of his unconscious bullies in a shopping cart, only to use them as bait to draw out Batman?? Iconic Behavior.
Witness describes Suspect in Gotham University Chemical Attack
[OC] [Reeves-verse Scarecrow Concept]
The witness, a TA at the university, was heading to class when she spotted a suspicious person entering the office of Dean Long. She claims she hadn't noticed anything wrong with the unknown individual until he turned towards her and she could see his face.
"It made me jump, when he turned to me. I thought he was wearing sunglasses at first. Then it hit me that those were his eyes. Or supposed to be. He was wearing a mask. All stitched up and completely covering his head. I think I saw a gas filter, like he was wearing a gas mask underneath it too. It had to be him. He was prepared for what was in that box. After the attack, I keep thinking about him. I keep seeing him in my head, walking down that hall towards me. It feels like there's nowhere for me to run. I can't sleep at night without waking up and expecting to see him standing at the foot of my bed."
After catching that glimpse, the witness fled the scene. The witness, whose identity will be kept anonymous for safety reasons, was treated for the chemical used in the attack. The GCPD suggests it was this chemical, a hallucinogenic, incapacitating agent believed to be related to BZ, that caused Dean Long's violent attack that left him and one student dead.
Det. C. O'Hara made a statement, saying he believes the suspect will change his clothes to blend in, allowing him to hide his chemical weapons in public places. A sketch based on the witness' description is being circulated. Please be alert of any suspicious persons potentially wearing any chemical protection equipment where it is not needed, especially if hidden under other clothes or masks. The suspect is considered extremely dangerous. If you see him, do not approach.

“And how are we this evening…?”
You lay upon the cold, steel table. Leather straps tightly bind your limbs in place. Only a hospital gown separates your skin from the cool air of the laboratory.
Slowly, you begin to awaken from your slumber. Your hazy eyes adjust to the blinding lamp shining down on your body. You stir as you recognize the situation you’ve found yourself in, struggling against your binds. The straps creak from the force, but do not give.
“It’s completely natural to feel anxious when going to see your doctor, but never fear, I am here to take care of you. Now, shall we begin?”
A tall, gaunt figure stands over you, backlit by the lamp above. He reaches out, his pale fingers extending over your body, slowly unbuttoning the front of your gown to reveal your stomach. A chuckle echoes in the cold room as the figure produces a marker and calmly draws two lines on your smooth skin.
Each stroke of his pen causes you to tremble slightly in anticipation of what will come next. You finally realize what’s happening… You’ve heard about him from the students of the academy. The mad professor obsessed with dissection, but you never thought you’d find yourself on his slab. And yet, here you both are.
“What a lovely specimen... Should I begin cutting here, or here?”
He awaits your response as he steps away from the light. You hear a little clatter of metal, and he returns to your side. In his hand, you notice the glint of steel… a scalpel. Your only answer is gentle sobbing. You hadn’t noticed until now that you had begun crying. Had it been the knife that threatened to open your skin that triggered it? Or had you been tearing up the moment you had awoken in this dreadful situation?
“You know, I’ve read a lot about you. I’ve visited you many times while developing this experiment for you. I needed to observe the existing conditions before I could change any variables… I even brought in someone as a control to see how they’d react to this situation. They responded quite similarly to you. With one exception…”
He hovers above you, his eyes staring deep into you from behind his round glasses, still obscure under the blinding surgery light. He turns the screw inside his head until something catches his eye… A spot of moisture on your gown. Your face grows red as the fear of being cut open is superseded by a different emotion… embarrassment.
“And my hypothesis is proven correct, it seems…”
You look away in shame as he snickers, his looming presence making the wetness worse… How had he known? Why did your body have to betray you like this?
“I always knew there were people who were sexually stimulated by fear, but I have never met one before.”
There is a beat before he chuckles to himself.
“Then again, my sample size has been… limited…”
The gears in his head turn, thinking about what to do next until… *click*
“I found you through an ad you posted online. ‘Looking for someone to take me away and use me however they want.’ Well, you got your wish, hm? But that wasn’t what caught my attention. It had been the list of kinks you wanted to explore that did it. Namely, ‘Fear Play.” I was so fascinated, I spent the rest of that night researching what every term on your list meant… After that, it was simple figuring out who you were through your account- supposed anonymity be damned… So, are we ready to continue the experiment, now that you know more about the methods? ”
You squirm gently in your bindings. You can still feel your heart pounding in your chest from the adrenaline. You take a deep breath and close your eyes for a moment, calming yourself. You look up at your captor and give a small nod. He can’t help but laugh, satisfied with your cooperation.
You can’t wait to be his test subject. To have each and every one of your fantasies rigorously tested on you. To have someone discover everything that makes you tick, or rather, what makes you twitch… His long, strong fingers creep across your stomach, reaching up under your hospital gown. The tips slowly trace across your lips… Your face grows hot and embarrassed again. It’s like he already knows exactly where to touch you… A whimper escapes your mouth.
“This is going to be a most enlightening night. Are you as eager to learn as I am? Or are you just aching for more?”
His finger slides between your lips at that word, and your body tingles with electricity. Your thoughts leak out as the testing begins…
I keep thinking about this... Like, the protective clothing in this pic is already just a few steps away from being a pretty rad Scarecrow outfit. Replace the ballcap with a wide brimmed hat, change the face mask material and sew it up, and truss him up with rope, and I'd be pretty damn pleased.
I'm really excited for The Batman: Part II (and even the new Brave and the Bold movie coming out), and I know a lot of us are hoping to see Scarecrow in them. I think it's always fun to see fancasts because it shows what they might want out of that character.
I've seen people say Bill Skarsgård, Jamie Campbell Bower, and a few others, but I think Jonathan should be much older, more professorial. I've been thinking a lot lately about Stephen Merchant as Crane. He totally has the appearance, but I'm not sure if his very distinct voice would suit Crane.
What are some of your favorite fancasts and why do you think they're best suited for the character?
I love Scarecrow designs with capelettes, shawls, or ponchos. It just works, you know? Also, when he has sticks or poles coming out from his shoulders, like Salecrow or Gotham Knight. AH, it's so good.
