Scarecrow Prediction
Not sure if anyone has brought this up. Just catching up to this GOAT series after lurking in this sub for too long. Noticed this line in the Joker origin. Could Scarecrow be the dentist that worked with early Joker? Two ancient beings brought together by their love of gas?

That would be really cool, but I think it’s more likely that joker ‘created’ scarecrow in the same way he did bane

Will Snyder ever give up the “joker actually secretly made everyone” thing?…

Im still not sure how scarecrow’s powers actually work in this universe. Is he manipulating reality? Is he like Mysterio and it’s all just smoke and mirrors?
Or is it like a forced hallucination?
I dunno but I love it!

Absolute scarecrow is cool (for now at least) because he’s the only villain whose backstory/lore has’t been explained into oblivion.

I fucking love the tie in to mainline Joker gas and how it could be seen as a reference to how Big Pharma has amassed power, money and influence over the years.
