The sad thing is, it is very likely that Lock ups abuse made Crane *worse* You see, in the tie in comics, we see that Crane is incredibly conflicted with himself. His scarecrow persona cares about nothin gbut fear but he as Crane, his true self, just genually wants to teach. From how Crane wears the Scarecrow costume when he escapes, we know he most probably uses his identity as Scarecroe like a security blanket, without it, hes just the weak scrawny proffesor of psychology, but with it, he becomes something more, something feared, he becomes Scarecrow. As we see, or rather, don't see, In the new batman adventures, we get almost no Crane. Just Scarecrow. And while in BTAS the Scarecrow had a flair for the dramatic, but in a dork type of way, that ALL is gone in TNBA. He speaks slowly, calmly, completl, unlike his past self. He has completlly lost himself to the Scarecrow identity. To when he feals powerful and strong. And considering he was desprate enough to escape from Lock up and still wore his costume (despite us knowing he could easily get hired for teaching again, check the annual tie in comics) shows that Lock up probably ended up really traumatizing him and might have been the reason Crane lost himself in the Scarecrow identity Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, and now is the part I say BTAS Crane and Scarecrow give the vibes of a wet cat, and I adore that.

Even as Bruce, Batman knows how to make people talk.

[@ambush_akula5261]

Bruce definitely knows how to Expose a criminal even when he isn’t Batman

[@Ender-rf9ys]

It reminds me so much that Batman is Batman,Bruce is just his cover-up. His secret identity. It has been proven many times that Batman is his true identity. Especially when he met Wonder woman in the comics for the first time.

@@beerrox711 I'm being for real. Take in consideration of Arkham Knight,we see Batman prevail,not Bruce. And it has been said before that to him Bruce is just someone in the outside. He really is Batman

[@EAS51PSN]

I love how Bruce uses his “ignorance” to subtle persuade the inmates to testify how they truly feel about this. He would have never convinced them by just appealing to them directly and instead chose to show them the consequences of their refusal to testify without threatening them openly. Genius.

I like how the most timid of them all, the Ventriloquist, was the first one to speak up

[@The_Sleepiest_Socialist]

He’s a good guy who’s only in there because of his puppet (I think it’s called Scarface).

[@The_Sleepiest_Socialist]

And he’s seemingly not being tortured himself, even though the puppet is.

[@RagPen01]

@@The_Sleepiest_Socialist I think the point with the Ventriloguist is that he's the deconstruction of the "Batman is the real Bruce" trope threaten the puppet, you threaten the man... likewise, take away Batman, Bruce will be a wreck (that mad hatter dream episode, for example)

[@Randomdudefromtheinternet]

I’ve heard that some people use puppets as a coping mechanism, likely something similar was in his case?

@Randomdudefromtheinternet i think DCAU Joker called the batsuit Bruce's security blanket, so it tracks

You have to be pretty menacing if the murderous criminals are scared of you

not really...theres a difference between being afraid of somone and morally apposed to them. these are poeple whod have no qualm with dishing out torment and violence to somone else....they fear him because its thier ass in that chair and not somone else. that being said the dude is obviously still depraved as a standerd must be upheld even with criminals like them.

True, but I like that it was Harley Quinn who picked up in it and realized that they had to speak up. It fits in with her later characterization in the comics and other media.

Love Harley's animations here. The way she gets scared and then gets mad at the other doctor to get herself dismissed from being interviewed. Then the way she bonks scarface's head to interrupt his lying.

I adore her. Even if she knew the puppet isn't real she still treats the puppet equally to be considerate to the puppeteer.
