Gotham: The Scarecrow To Appear

ComicBookMovie.com received word that the Scarecrow will be making an appearance on Fox’s Gotham.  Details of the appearance list a character named Dr. Crane (we don’t know what his first name is so he could be an older relative of the Jonathan Crane we know):

"It seems Jim Gordon’s first case after being reassigned to his old position with the GCPD will be a doozy! CBM can exclusively reveal that in the February 2nd episode of Fox’s Gotham, he and Bullock will be hunting down “a killer who targets victims with severe phobias”. Sound like someone we know? The title of the ep is “The Fearsome Dr. Crane”, so you shouldn’t need too many guesses. Yes, the Scarecrow will make his presence known in a couple of weeks, but we didn’t get word on which actor would be playing him unfortunately. The rest of this instalment deals with Fish Mooney attempting to turn Maroni against the Penguin by spilling a secret, and Bruce taking Gordon to task for failing to solve his parents’ murder. We’ll keep you posted if and when any more information comes to light."

The Fearsome Dr. Crane will be the fourteenth episode of Gotham.  It seems that the Dr. Crane described in the synopsis will not be a psychiatrist who starts off working for Arkham Asylum, but will be a full-fledged murderer from the start.  We’ll just have to see when February 2nd rolls around.  Recently, the series returned from its mid-season hiatus with the premiere of its tenth episode, titled Rogues’ Gallery.

Fox’s Gotham airs on Mondays at 8:00PM EST.
