Bold move having Scarecrow diagnose his fellow Gotham villains on camera, GQ.
-
This guy did, in 25 minutes, what Arkham doctors have failed to do since the 40s
-
The theory about Joker not actually being insane or having some kind of mental illness has been around the fandom for quite awhile actually. It's generally accepted that not only is he not insane, he's more than likely hyper-aware and has a high degree of control over his own personality traits, such that he can flip on a dime and give the "illusion" that he's just outright nuts. It's all just one big game/stage-show for him, and he's just trying to entertain himself.
-
I love the way he said "He doesn't belong here, in Arkham." when talking about the Joker. That makes it seem like he's literally screening the inmates AT Arkham and is determining how criminally insane they are and trying to make a case for or against it, which makes the video have a totally different vibe
-
The scariest part is when you realize the most dangerous villain in this group doesn't have a mental illness at all. He's just a bad person.
-
I love how the psychiatrist knows his Batman lore, which makes his insights all the more interesting.
-
I always knew Scarecrow would have the best insights over his fellow inmates. Doctor Crane is one of the best on his fields - with or without his vilanous persona.
-
Man, when he said Joker belongs in Blackgate. This dude knows his comics.
-
He suspiciously left out the Scarecrow. 🤔
-
He's already one of the best live-action adaptations of Dr. Crane
-
Please, let's have a second run with Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Deadshot, Firefly, Catwoman, Huntress, Bane, Killer Croc, Hush and Azrael. I know many of those never been at Arkham (and honestly never did the Penguin as well), but I think they worth the diagnosys.
-
This guy is the most psychiatristy looking psychiatrist I’ve ever seen. He was born for this career
-
Would've been a cool surprise to do a break down on Batman himself since he's often considered to be just as broken as the criminals he puts away.
-
I loved the Paul Dini's writing of The Joker's interview tapes in The Arkham Asylum game because it showed that The Joker seemed to investigate different mental health disorders and would pretend to have a different mental health disorder per interview. He was essentially wasting the time of the Arkham professionals just so he could get attention.
-
No doubt someone has mentioned it here already, but prior to the event that scarred Harvey Dent, his coin had identical faces. He told Rachel that he "makes his own luck". He had control. After the scarring event, both Harvey and the coin had been transformed by forces beyond Harvey's control. Perhaps he now looked to the coin as a symbol of his lack of certainty and control.
-
I love that he says he doesn't think Joker doesn't have any actual mental health issues, especially when Joker presents himself differently to each doctor that has tried to treat him at Arkham.
-
The fact that he has such in depth lore knowledge and then he has gone ahead and actually taken his time to diagnose these characters so accurately, specially when he breaks down the Joker. I have massive respect for this man, as a fellow fan and as someone who loves human psychology.
-
Plot twist: the reason Gotham’s inmates are insane is because this man just broke them all down.
-
Dr. Bender seems to have such a deep, deep well of empathy for all these troubled people, despite them even being fictional. Makes sense why he's been so successful in his career
-
Glad to see Dr Crane talking about his fellow inmates
