Just to let y'all know, crows do not do any of the things in this origin story. They're not attracted to blood, they do not live in chapels and do not attack living things they do not and cannot eat (child is too big). I think its a cool story and realize its a comic and not a national geographic.

I like the Scarecrow Origins. When my sister told me about his other origins, his dad experimented on his son, I was curious yet excited. I was about to be disappointed because I thought it was the same origins as his amusement with his grandmother and people. Not that I mind because I always like how such twisted scenes had created a scarecrow. But! when it announced his origin bonus. I became excited by this bonus which I think was a great idea and I love it!

[@TarhosTheKnight]

His origins is a perfect cocktail of a supervillain and horror story.

[@ANTONl027]

That’s the Gotham origin

Should they make a movie bout him an his origin to

[@jimmyolsen2954]

They called me a lunatic! -Jonathan Scarecrow from Nothing to Fear

[@bentowers7743]

So Scarecrow wants to make everyone feel the fear and trauma he went through in his childhood. Sound like he basically blames everyone for his suffering and not coming to his rescue when he needed it. Scarecrow is one messed up psycho. If you are taking requests, I'd like to hear the origins of Blue Beatle, Deathstroke, Black Manta, Red Hood, Black Lightning, Beast Boy, Starfire, Swamp Thing, Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Spoiler, The Creeper, Katana, Mr. Miracle, and Steel.

[@millaray9912]

It’s often depicted as being a little more complicated than that. He started studying fear in an attempt to cure himself. From there, he often looks at his experiments as a kind of extreme exposure therapy. Some versions of Scarecrow honestly believe the toxin helps people face their fears so they can become stronger. Hence why he will sometimes say things like “let me help you” when he’s attacking someone.

[@beagotm9318]

Deathstroke, definitely!

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Yes yes we need a deathstroke origin on the Channel

[@mitchellneuhoff9946]

And since then we have seen scarecrow get a taste of his own medicine from so many other heroes not just Batman Knightwing hell we’ve even seen Raven give him a taste of his own medicine

[@sspdirect02]

This deserves to be a movie. A hard R-Rated horror movie!

Patients suffering delusional episodes often focus their paranoia on an external tormentor. Usually one conforming to Jungian archetypes. In this case, a scarecrow. Jonathan Crane Batman Begins (2005)

Thanks so much Comic Origins! You told us you would have an origin coming at the end of the month. Thanks for the Origin story and being a man of your word.

[@adammahmood29]

Your Batman villains stories are incredible! Please do Bane or Azrael one of these days! 🙏🏽

[@ivangomez123]

Thank you guys!! You made the origins I've been waiting for a long time. I'm the happiest guy on Earth. I hope to see more origins of many Batman villains like Mr. Freeze, Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, Firefly, Clayface or The Joker. And many other characters like Black Adam, Blue Beetle, Atom Smasher, Red Hood, Hawkman and Flash (Barry Allen).

[@marcelmanickum9953]

I wish we could get a proper movie version of the scarecrow . Highly underrated villain IMO

[@trexadvent4726]

How many of you remember the Scarecrow being filled with fear by someone other than Batman in the Batman the Animated Series episode "Lock Up"?

As evil as Scarecrow is his grandma and great grandma in his Post Crisis origin were worse.

[@trexadvent4726]

Which origin of Jonathan Crane is the most gruesome between being tortured by his grandmother or his father which later he would later use their experiments to become the Scarecrow? Is his origin story similar to the Penguin along with being Psychotic like the Dollmaker? What would happen if he was a Green Lantern villain since he was a member of the Yellow Lantern Corps in the comics, Would it be awesome if we saw this taking place in the DCEU?

[@3Bone_Collector471]

Scarecrow is one of the best Batman villains.

[@deshawnedwards6412]

Can do do The Gentleman Ghost's Origin? He'd be a fun one.

[@CorbCorbin]

Don’t know why, but I always like that character, whenever used in animated series and movies. The comics have him written a bit darker, depending on the writer, but still some fun stories.

[@widowgirl1254]

Are you doing comic book origin of DC Orca in your next video? It's great to see you doing origin of forgotten Batman Villians. Is she similar to Killer Croc and King_Shark?

[@MiguelGarcia-tg2km]

Speaking of masters of fear, you think it's possible for you to do an origin for Sinestro?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you please do the comic book origin of DC Despero since he's one of the most powerful Justice League villains from the comics and he played a major role in the CW Flash Armageddon 5 episodes event?

[@m.lanzoni9306]

Ok. At the end of the video, you give as a recommendation the comic book "Absolute Terror". That comic portrays Scarecrow as a loser villain, which is stupid considering he is one of the top 5 villains of Batman (alongside Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Two-Face). To learn more about that comic, check out the following video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2rGqIGkort7qrc

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do comic book origin of the Lantern corps like Star Sapphire, Larfleeze and Atrocious along with Saint Walker and Nekron?

[@milkiassamuel780]

I agree. A lot Green Lantern villains actually have very interesting origins, especially Atrocitus, Sinestro and Saint Walker.

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do comic book origin of lesser known DC villains Shade and Folded Man along with Chillblaine and Golden_Glider?

[@danieltravis4774]

Can you do black mask origin or Alfred pennyworth please have a good day

Would love to see Scarecrow getting more attention

[@SerialAnkleBiter]

Jonathan crane has so many backstory’s

[@Xenomorphdude472]

So that’s how Scarecrow did it, he is afraid of being alone in the dark in the abandoned chapel and he use fear on anyone else like he was.

[@deepankarnakarmi8215]

make for toyman too

[@solomon2134]

Orca is next

[@darealnegro2719]

can pls do Swamp Thing or Floronic Man

[@ellesandralady8596]

No wonder this guy turned into a villain in this version of his story, his grandmother and mom was a nut

[@trexadvent4726]

Apart from the comics, which movie or TV show do you think did a great job in portraying the Scarecrow? Do you think the live action version of him from Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy could have been done better?

[@milkiassamuel780]

I personally think Cillian Murphy did a amazing job as The Scarecrow. The only thing I will say is that I would've liked to see more of his Scarecrow in the trilogy and would've preferred his fear toxin visuals to be a lot more horrific and visually creative, something like Mysterio's illusions in Spiderman Far From Home (2019) mixed with Freddy Kruger and The Arkham Games Scarecrow, at least that is my opinion. I do think one of my favourite Scarecrow performances was from the Gotham TV show, played by Charlie Tahan who really gave a more psychologically tormented Scarecrow based on this videos second origin for Scarecrow. I also think The design for that Scarecrow might be my favourite Scarecrow design especially Season 4 & 5.

So we technically have an Ichabod Crane themed villain. Now we just need a Mr. Toad themed villain to finish the set

Since you're taking requests, can you the origins of Bane, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, the Electrocutioner, Tigress, Firefly, Hugo Strange, Azrael, the Court of Owls, the Ratcatcher, Calendar Man, Black Mask, the Great White Shark, Bronze Tiger, Count Vertigo, Prometheus, and the Anti-Monitor.

[@ItsBigBadMoneyBrad75]

Can you please do an origin story of Bane and the Joker?

[@Biscuit1973]

I remember watching the 1985 super friends Galactic guardians TV series which had an episode called fear which featured the scarecrow because I’ve watched challenge in a super friends back in the late 70s they did had a scarecrow in the Legion of doom but I did not know his real name until I’ve watched the 1985 super friends Galactic guardians TV series which featured an episode called fear and this is how unknown The scarecrow‘s real name because his name was Jonathan Crane because in that cartoon from the 80s he had something called the fear transmitter it was a skull that transmits fear into the minds of people and then I’m Batman the animated series back in the 90s, the scarecrow there had something called fear toxin so when he sprays the stuff from his gloves or his gauntlets, It causes people to hallucinate and see things that are aren’t really there and drive them extremely mad with fear.
