• Scarecrow : My revenge is complete, the university is in the grip of fear, and Batman has been annihilated!

  Nigel : Huh?

  Scarecrow : Annihilated! Destroyed! Dead!

  Anthony : [points out the window]  Then who's that?

• Scarecrow : I might have underestimated the Batman, but at least the university is finished.

  Anthony : You know, boss, I always hated school, but, how come you hate the university so much?

  Scarecrow : They tried to destroy me.

  Nigel : You mean they kicked you out because you weren't smart enough?

  Scarecrow : No, you simpleton!

  [Squeezes Nigel's nose] 

  Nigel : Ow!

  Scarecrow : I taught there. I was a professor of psychology, specializing in phobias. Inducing terror has always intrigued me. Even, as a boy, I liked to frighten things. People, animals, it was all the same. I became obsessed with fear's crippling power. Later, when I became their leading professor of subliminal psychology at the university, I began performing experiments on fear and its subsequent effects. Dr. Long thought I went too far. He called me a lunatic. So now, they will learn the true nature of horror!

  Anthony : Wow, he's a good professor.

• The Scarecrow : I am fear incarnate. I am the terror of Gotham. I am the Scarecrow!

• The Scarecrow : Succumb to the fear!
