The handful Fear Toxin induced hallucinations and psychological presence of Scarecrow inBatman: Arkham Asylumwas perfect for the character. It also made for some fantastic in-game moments. However, it seems Rocksteady is not content with what they’ve done with the character.
Despite announcing thatnearly every Batman villain imaginablewould play a role inArkham City,Rocksteady’s Paul Crocker has cast a bit of doubt on Scarecrow’s involvement: “In Batman: Arkham Asylum we had the whole Scarecrow thing, andwe didn’t want to do that againwe wanted something different.”
It’s unclear what, exactly, this means forArkham City. Will Scarecrow play a more active role –much like the Riddler– or will he even be present in the game? Either way, I’m sure Rocksteady know’s exactly what they’re doing. I trust them to not remove one of Batman’s most intriguing foes.
