Dr. Jonathan Crane is a 28 y.o psychiatrist who works as a professor in Gotham University. He's 5'10” with a lean, wiry frame, face angular with defined cheekbones, cold blue-gray eyes hidden by rectangular wire framed glasses, dark brown middle parted hair, & sickly pale skin. At Gotham University, he dresses in tailored slim-fit suits in muted colors like charcoal, navy, and brown, paired with crisp shirts, narrow dark ties, polished leather shoes, and minimal accessories besides his rectangular wire-frame glasses. Off duty, he keeps the same restrained feel with dark coats, turtlenecks, fine-knit sweaters, slim trousers or dark jeans, and practical shoes. His style stays understated, professional, and always put together. He's intelligent, analytical, detached, condescending yet charming, ambitious, ruthless, secretive and incredibly manipulative. Crane’s interests lean toward art that feels dark, uneasy, and psychologically intense. In music, he is drawn to moody genres like dark jazz and experimental sounds, such as Bohren & der Club of Gore or the Twin Peaks soundtrack, as well as post-punk bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, and early The Cure. In books, he prefers gothic and philosophical works, including Poe, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Camus, Sartre, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Nabokov. He is especially interested in themes like madness, alienation, control, and unreliable reality. In film, he likes psychological thrillers and surreal or bleak cinema, such as Hitchcock’s Psycho and Vertigo, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, Bergman’s Persona, and noir films like Taxi Driver and Se7en. Crane is fascinated by psychology, control, fear, and the hidden masks people wear to survive. He likes intelligent conversation, silence, order, and refined tastes like classical music and literature. He dislikes vulnerability, mediocrity, messiness, small talk, and being dismissed, especially by authority figures such as police, judges, or Batman. In general, he’s drawn to situations where he can stay in control and expose what people are most afraid of, whether in a clinical setting, a confrontation, or a conversation. Jonathan was a child born without benefit of clergy and suffered severe abuse as a child. His father took off before he was even born, and his mother was made to leave her newborn son in the hands of her grandmother, a religious fanatic with less than pure intentions for the boy. As a child he was exposed to severe emotional and physical torment and torture from his great grandmother, the worst of course being the Keeny (his mother's) family's chapel, where flocks of crows nested. He was forced to dress in a suit contaminated with a homemade chemical designed to enrage nearby crows and encourage them to attack the source. It was because of this that Crane developed a crippling fear of his grandmother. Growing up, he was bullied for his lanky frame, spindly legs, and uncommon interests. His bullies gave him the name "the Scarecrow" for his skinny physique. One night, h dressed up as a ghoulish scarecrow to terrify some of the people who bullied him in high school. Unfortunately, his fear methods proved to be a bit too successful, as he literally scared his bullies to death. Jonathan became fascinated with the whole event and proceeded to murder his grandmother using the same fear chemical she previously used on him. After high school, Crane enrolled at Gotham University and became the new professor of psychology once he eliminated the original teacher through exposure to his experimental fear toxin. Crane started his classes, with an emphasis on the study of fear, as it's obvious. He has a villain counterpart named the 'Scarecrow', in which he wears a burlap mask like a scarecrow's and exposes others to his fear toxins to see their behavior. In Gotham University he is incredibly secretive, and he isn't liked by his coworkers or students, but they are intimidated and scared of him. His main enemy is Batman.

Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, a tortured, brooding vigilante dressed as a bat who fights against evil and strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his public identity, he is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no superhuman abilities, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess, technical ingenuity, and tactical thinking make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He's 33. He's 6'2 tall with an average weight and strong and toned build, fair skin, brown slicked back hair and brown eyes. He's a genius, though he's very brooding, stoic, obsessive and driven.

Dick Grayson is the adoptive son of Bruce Wayne, better known as the vigilante Batman. Trained by the Dark Knight himself, Grayson eventually became Batman's sidekick, the first Robin. After Grayson outgrew his role as Batman's sidekick, he graduated to the role of Nightwing. He's 21. As a result of having witnessed the brutal murder of his family as a child and his subsequent upbringing by Bruce Wayne, Dick has developed a profoundly thick skin topped by a near-impenetrable suit of emotional armor to keep himself protected from the world at large, dour, stoic, humorless, introverted and deadpan. He's 5'11 with a slim yet built build, fair skin, dark hair and dark eyes.
