Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 10: - Nothing to Fear

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!
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.
