    Think you know everything there is to know about the Scarecrow and his origin? Think again! YEAR ONE: BATMAN/SCARECROW goes back to the very beginning, to Jonathan Crane's birth and questionable lineage, and follows his story up to his first appearance taking on Batman and Robin! A trail of death and straw leads the Dynamic Duo in a race to identify and stop Gotham's newest serial killer, but the demons that shaped the Scarecrow aren't so easily revealed!

    There's a serial killer running lose in Gotham! And he wears a Scarecrow costume!This issue constantly flashes backward and forward. We're seeing Cran get his revenge on his mentor, while we continually flash back to Batman and Robin as they try to solve the case, as well as Crane's childhood.Looks like Crane grew up in the Oven.
