Here’s scarecrow colored 😼
Frank Gorshin, Anthony Perkins and Davy Jones (of the monkees) are Batman 1966's version of The Riddler, The Scarecrow and The Mad Hatter. I know the '66 show had David Wayne as The Mad Hatter, but he's not that exciting. So David Wayne is the imposter hatter and Davy Jones is the reason Hatter. Really, this is going to stay in my head as the Batman '66 version of these three forever. Frank Gorshin, Anthony Perkins and Davy Jones. I think it'd be a great pairing to have seen on stage together. They all seem like great performers. I think art of The Mad Hatter snd Scarecrow modelled after Davy Jones and Anthony Perkins would be great, honestly.
But Davy Jones had to be the Mad Hatter. Short and British, he even sort of sounds like Peter Macnicol doing The Mad Hatter for the batman arkham games. And also, well, daydream believer sounds like a Mad Hatter song. Soft yet almost ethereal, it's perfect. A batman 66 episode with the mad hatter would have to have that song worked in somehow (even if we just have the hatter humming it).
I strongly disagree with this.
Your first argument “The prisoners in Arkham need somebody like Bolton to keep them in line. Lyle does that, extremely well.” ‘The Prisoners’, the people held within Arkham Asylum are mental patients, they are mentally ill. Harley Quinn has HPD (histrionic personality disorder) and was stuck in an extremely abusive relationship leading to her life of crime, Arnold Wesker has DID (dissociative identity disorder) and doesn’t believe that he committed the crimes but the puppet on his hand. Jonathan Crane has ASPD (as well as other personality disorders), however, in the Btas, it is quite clear he is a very disturbed individual.
Your second argument “Just because he jerked them around a little, doesn’t mean he’s some hellian. Also, that kind of treatment improves behavior.” Perhaps you may have not noticed because the BTAS is a kids show from the 90s but it is heavily implied that Bolton abuses the patients of Arkham, this has been shown in other media in recent years. To suggest that “jerking patients around (…) improves behaviour.” Is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. It doesn’t work in real life, why would it work in Batman? The Batman universe (ignoring all the supernatural stuff, we’re just talking about Batman n Gotham) reflects real life, corruption, mental illness and (yada yada)
Your third statement “I don’t agree with how he was kidnapping pretty random people though, like a news reporter, Commissioner Gordon, etc…. If he hadn’t done so he'd be innocent in my eyes.” Obviously, you watched the show with your eyes closed, Lyle Bolton, was a character supposed to represent a republican extremist. You can tell by his room and by his use of the wording “liberal media”. Him kidnapping “random” people is him trying to control the city of Gotham to become what he thinks will be better.
And…Commissioner Gordon…a random person?? HE’S THE POLICE COMMISSIONER!!!
Fourth statement “I also don’t understand the hate for him. The other Batman villains have done way worse. At least Lyle does something beneficial for Gothams society” Again, the reason for his hate is because he abuses the patients of Arkham Asylum and other fans of the series actually have empathy. I think the crimes of Lyle Bolton vs The Rogues Gallery can be debated but someone else can do that. The entirety of Gotham Society is corrupted, That's why it’s the most crime filled place on earth. yknow what would make it better? An abusive head of security, so he can make the mentally ill patients even more mentally ill, so they can break out and reek havoc on the good people of Gotham.
Fifth statement “I don’t understand why Bruce wouldn’t buy a better security system for Arkham in the first place. Bolton knows what he’s doing sooo” That's why Bolton got the job in the first place, because of his record but Bruce fired him because he mistreated mentally ill people. Arkham, while also holding mentally ill people holds geniuses, I find it difficult to believe that, let’s say The Riddler, a self-proclaimed genius would have a difficult time with a new “high tech” security in Arkham, the reason it was a wasn't a "revolving door" was because of the abuse. I personally, don’t think the entire problem with Arkham is the security but the doctors, funding, and the system itself.
Shout out to Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo and Hasan Minhaj’s portrayal of the Riddler.
This was when he worked at ACE chemicals and was like head chemist or smt (he hated the employee that took the photo)
This was Jon at his part-time psychologist teaching thing at Gotham University, he also hated the student that took this photo
I was gonna draw the penguin but I got lazy
My Jonathan crane design, idk if I like the costume design rn
Jervis has a lot of feelings. Johnathan wishes all of those feelings were fear.
Dr Crane can have a bird mask, as a treat

Riddler: Tell me a secret.
Scarecrow: One time Tetch, who's all about not killing animals, accidentally stepped on a ladybug. He froze up and slowly cradled it in his hand, and he was so heartbroken she started quoting Hamlet.
Scarecrow: I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was a red M&M.
Amazing

This is why Batman keeps fighting them and putting them back in Arkham. If he didn't more than likely these individuals who need help won't get it. So I guess it's a good thing he's punching them in the face. Besides they do at times deserve to be punched in the face by a single man in a bat suit. (Surrounded by children)
List of People Batman Probably Shouldn’t Punch or Should at Least Feel Bad About Punching
Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask: Has a pacemaker for his heart condition.
Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow: Underweight, abuse survivor, canonically hypermobile and thus suffers from chronic pain, hypotonic.
Waylon Jones AKA Killer Croc: Abuse survivor, condition causes chronic pain.
Jervis Tetch AKA The Mad Hatter: Small, possibly suffers from a hypoplastic condition.
Mary Dahl AKA Baby Doll: Suffers from a hypoplastic condition, literally the size of a small child.
Victor Fries AKA Mr. Freeze: Can’t survive outside his cryosuit, probably in his 50s.
Pamela Isley AKA Poison Ivy: Abuse survivor, skin is highly toxic, probably suffers chronic pain as a result of her condition.
Garfield Lynns AKA Firefly: Covered in burn scars, scar tissue likely causes chronic pain.
Oswald Cobblepot AKA The Penguin: Has a bad limp, physically incapable of fighting.
Edward Nygma AKA The Riddler: Abuse survivor, physically weak, canonically recalls every beating he’s ever gotten.
Jason Todd AKA Red Hood: Suffers from severe PTSD, literally Bruce’s kid.
Basil Karlo AKA Clayface: Can’t keep one shape for long, has chronic pain, probably not a good plan to punch mud.
Peter Merkel AKA Ragdoll: Hypermobile and definitely has chronic pain as a result.
Feel free to add anyone I missed.
@jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear happy birthday from your favorite Hare!

I’m not a psychologist so this is all just a guess. If you’d like me to elaborate why I headcanon these characters as having these disorders or want me to add more, please let me know!

The Halloween spirit is taking over me
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this
THEY HAVE THE SAME POSE. I don’t care what the canon says they have to be related somehow.
I went back and reread this issue, and I thought this scene was really interesting. Thanks to an experiment carried out by another criminal scientist working with Crane, the entire city of Gotham is crippled by horrible nightmares in which they see the Scarecrow. These nightmares bring forth a deep-seeded phobia of Scarecrow’s silhouette, and the effect lasts even in daylight, allowing The Scarecrow to to terrorize the city simply by walking the streets.
Scarecrow wreaks havoc across Gotham, and he’s only naturalized once Batman unmasks him in front of the terrified crowd. Without that mask, he can no longer cast forth his nightmare-inducing silhouette. The crowd of onlookers are no longer afraid, and they ambush the Scarecrow. Think about that
Look at his face, he’s stricken with terror. He plan has failed and he’s lost. Crane wants nothing more then to be seen as a horrifying phantom, a beast that no one can fight back against, but under the mask? He’s afraid.
