Oh, sure. I just think the relationship of hero/villain will be very different. But likely the entire batfamily will be working together.

I've always liked the stories with Crane as a young man, really. Not that the others are bad but his scrawny physique, nerdy psychological ways and such make me think that he's a young man.

Well...to become a professor, and assuming he went straight from school to college, he needed at minimum a four-year degree (possibly up to eight if he had a PhD), and the origin story I use has him tracking down his family members and becoming a hitman, so there have to be years between school and Scarecrow to do said tracking and hitman-ing. XD I normally put him at 31 minimum in that origin story (3-4 years is plenty of time to get that shit together), though seeing as the only date in that particular comic is a diary entry of September 5, 1975 (and he would have been a teen at the time it was written), and accounting for the comic's modern day at-the-time storyline (2005), he actually probably would have been older than that (48 at the time of meeting Batman, assuming he was 18 in 1975). But, ignoring that one date grants some leeway in terms of playing with his age. XP If I went by modern day, he'd be nearly 60 and with all the shit he's done to himself, it'd be a miracle he's still alive. XD But I always generally put him in his late 30s-40s for having some years as the Scarecrow under his belt.
