[quote=@LePouvantail] It absolutely pisses me off when writers forget Crane has some human aspects (unless it's something like [i]Blackest Night[/i] or, as much as I hate it, [i]Arkham Knight[/i], where he's clearly in a point in his life where one wonders if he's [i]even[/i] human anymore). One of my favorite comics, "Study Hall" (got a brief mention in the profile with Molly Randall) shows [i]very[/i] clearly he has something resembling standards and humanity, even if his methods of executing it are twisted. TL;DR: she was his prized student, she dated a guy who---it was heavily implied, but not stated---raped her, so he kidnapped him and used various fear serums on him until he found his trigger. It was hinted that Batman -might- have let him get away with it if he had simply stopped there and didn't try to execute the guy after...this was also one of his "rare moments of craving normality" I hinted to. He ended up Molly's teacher because he truly [i]was[/i] trying to reform himself--he wasn't even teaching chemistry or psychology; he was teaching [i]American Literature[/i]. Batman actually left him alone when he figured out he was trying to change (but of course, kept an eye out...just in case...). And sweet. I love me some chaos. :D [/quote] Yup. I desire moments like that for most villains. Especially rogues like Crane that have been around FOREVER. Joker, Two-Face...they're nuts. But a good few of the long time villains have been around so long, they've changed as people. Crane, Ivy, Harley, Nigma, Langstrom, etc, etc. Eventually you'd think they would realize Gotham City is just lethal, and the game they play even worse--some of them would want out just on basic survival, I would think at least.
