In psychology, there is a rule that is not really a theorem, which is that people with antisocial personality are born with the ability to manipulate.
Contrary to what many people think, people with antisocial personality disorder are not without sympathy and empathy. On the contrary, many of them are much more sensitive to emotions than normal people and can accurately judge the emotional state of others.
It's just that the evil factors in their personality make them use this innate instinct as an invincible weapon to manipulate others and achieve their own goals.
At the same time, their ability to perform emotions is much stronger than that of normal people. They can disguise their emotional state with almost no effort, making it impossible for others to detect any flaws.
Again, super criminals like the Joker and the Scarecrow do not have mental illnesses. They do not have periods of illness, nor do they, like the Riddler, lose control of themselves during an illness and exhibit various somatic manifestations.
There is no lesion in their brains and their nervous systems function normally, allowing them to complete various delicate operations at every moment, so they can use their abilities to create all kinds of chaotic scenes.
They are not sick, they are just simply antisocial.
There are two types of antisocial personality. The division between them is not clear in psychological theory, but they can be roughly summarized as active type and lazy type.
The Joker is clearly a representative of the positive type. His mental excitement is not a manifestation of mental illness such as schizophrenia, but the antisocial factors in his personality that bring him positive motivation.
It's like, "I get motivated just thinking about how much trouble I'm going to cause."
People with this kind of antisocial personality are relatively easy to identify because they have a very clear "evil desire".
As soon as the mention of doing bad things, making someone suffer, breaking the rules of order and making something chaotic comes up, they will show irrepressible excitement, almost with "I am a bad guy" written clearly on their faces.
When ordinary people encounter such people, they just need to stay away from them. There is no need to reason with them, let alone expect to change them. This kind of evil desire can never be eliminated, and the positive motivation brought by doing bad things may bring him more pleasure than drugs, and it is impossible to quit.
Although such people seem very dangerous, they only account for about 5% of antisocial personalities. They are extremely rare and most people will not encounter them in normal life.
The more common and more dangerous ones are those with lazy antisocial personality like Scarecrow.
On the surface, this type of person does not seem to be aggressive, just like a normal person. They even appear to be wise, rigorous, and charming because of their high-functioning antisocial personality traits.
They don't have such strong evil desires. To be precise, their evil desires are not an active skill, and usually they don't show it externally, but need to be triggered.
They usually only do evil at critical points.
For example, deliberately not helping someone in danger, concealing important information, and interfering with key judgments, just going over and giving a gentle push when people are standing on the edge of a cliff, and then smiling condescendingly.
Although the active type is a natural terrorist, the lazy type is difficult to distinguish and often causes greater harm, at least in terms of the number of victims.
When ordinary people encounter such people, they are either attracted to them or fail to see the difference and let down their guard. By the time they make a move at the critical moment, it is already too late.
The best among them can even disguise themselves to be completely indistinguishable from ordinary people. If there is no triggering condition, they can even pretend like this for their whole life.
Scarecrow Jonathan Crane has this ability. Although he is quite active in opposing Batman, his evil desire is not that strong in nature. If the Joker's feelings for Batman are hot, then Jonathan is obviously much colder.
Therefore, he shows another kind of difficulty that is different from the Joker.
The Joker did something bad and Batman had to know about it, and he also wanted the whole world to know about it, and he himself was not afraid to admit it.
Therefore, as long as Batman can subdue the Joker, it will not be difficult for him to accept the trial of the law. He will even walk into the exclusive cell of Arkham Asylum with his chest held high and proud.
But Scarecrow is much more difficult to deal with. He will use all kinds of means to get away with the crime, using his advanced chemical methods to destroy the body, falsify the scene, and even directly knock Batman unconscious, making him lose the opportunity to obtain key evidence.
It is more difficult to bring him to court and give him a fair trial than to subdue him. For Batman, Scarecrow is his most difficult opponent in the detective field.
For example, in the Arkham Knight game, Scarecrow placed a bomb of fear gas in the city. Although Batman solved the danger and saved Gotham again, how to bring Scarecrow to justice afterwards is a question worth thinking about.
Who planted the bomb, who made the terror gas in the bomb, and who should be held responsible if no harm was caused are all things to be discussed in court.
Unfortunately, the workload of finding a complete chain of evidence for so many things is unimaginable. If there is a problem in any one link, it will be difficult to establish the accusation.
For example, even if Batman found the laboratory where Scarecrow prepared the fear gas, or even found his fingerprints on the experimental equipment, or even if Scarecrow was in the laboratory at the time, it would not be considered a complete chain of evidence.
Because the scarecrow can argue that he borrowed the experimental equipment, or maybe he was kidnapped into the laboratory. It sounds absurd, but it is valid in the legal system of the maritime law system.
In order to complete the accusation, he must be caught in the act, that is, he must be caught at the moment when Scarecrow is making the fear gas in his laboratory. Even surveillance video is not enough, there must be eyewitnesses, preferably police officers.
Moreover, he can only be charged with manufacturing dangerous chemicals, but not with using dangerous chemicals to endanger public safety. If he is to be charged with using dangerous chemicals, he must be caught in the act of bringing the fear gas to a certain place and releasing it, otherwise there is still room for him to escape the crime.
This is also the main reason why many criminals in Gotham are caught and released. Because every charge is easy to escape, and the sentence is not long. What's more, many people are mentally ill and can easily escape legal punishment.
It is precisely because Scarecrow's ability to escape crime is one of the best among Batman's opponents that he has the opportunity to appear repeatedly. Many times Batman sent him to the police station, and he came out with a casual bail, and continued to commit crimes the next day.
If the Joker wins by quality, then the Scarecrow is undoubtedly the representative of the qualitative change caused by quantitative change. Because Batman has fought with him many times, he has a deep understanding of him.
Batman did not expect Jonathan to say this. He knew that Scarecrow was essentially a very conceited person, and even if the universe was reversed and Scarecrow became the spiritual mentor of the Justice League, his fundamental personality would not change.
"Why do you think the real murderer would frame you?" Batman asked.
Batman was reminding Jonathan that the other party did not act without reason. The timing was chosen to influence the people in Metropolis.
Jonathan was a little confused by his question, but his instinct for manipulation told him that this was not the time to show weakness. If he didn't act tough, Batman would take advantage of the situation and pester him.
"Whatever you're doing this for, it's none of your business, is it, Mr. Bat?" Jonathan asked back.
"I'm afraid not," Batman replied. "I came into this world for my own purpose. The fallout from what happened to you could cause me trouble. I'm only defending my own interests."
“I see,” Jonathan thought.
He knew about the fighting world. Although he did not participate for various reasons, he knew the general process. These visitors from other worlds came here to earn points. They were profitable, so they naturally worked extra hard.
I took down all the professors at Gotham University, which might have affected his mission of earning points. In this case, it is impossible for Batman to completely let go of this matter.
In this case, I must seize the opportunity to take the initiative. Even if I cannot control Batman's actions, I must have enough influence on him. As long as I can divert his attention, I should be safe.
Jonathan sighed and leaned back in his chair, his face completely immersed in shadow, his eyes under his high brows looking particularly focused.
Batman observed him and realized that the psychology professor's judgment of Jonathan Crane might not be accurate. He did not look like a mental patient, and his eyes were not scattered, but showed a strange concentration.
Jonathan's appearance is not very eye-catching. He can't be found among the professors and scholars when he puts on his glasses. But he has a unique temperament, cold and cunning, which is very impressive.
And the Jonathan of this universe, Batman thought, didn't look crazy enough, nor that evil. When he was silent, he looked like a statue of a thinker, showing wisdom from his calmness.
As for why he is like this, it is probably because the power of 170 years of property tax is too great. Jonathan must do his best to keep his job. When the wicked rack their brains, they also have their own evil charm.
"What do you want to do?" Jonathan asked.
"First of all, I want to know, who do you think the murderer is?"
Jonathan suddenly had an idea and realized that this was a good opportunity - to get those people who were not poisoned into trouble, especially Schiller and Victor who were not poisoned.
Since he was just saying hello, he couldn't leave his old friends behind. Although he couldn't get them into the hospital, it was not bad to let them be entangled by Batman. This is how evil is dealt with by evil.
Jonathan was delighted in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He looked up at Batman and said, "It's not very difficult to poison food. Ordinary people can do it. It's precisely because this method is simple that it's harder to detect."
"But if the other person knows that he is not a professional, he may be afraid of killing himself by not controlling the dosage, so he may not poison himself. This should be an important clue."
Batman lowered his eyes slightly, and Jonathan's inference coincided with his. From the method of poisoning, it can be inferred that the other party's chemistry level is average, or even a layman.
If the other person is not a professional and you don't know the effect of the specific dosage or have no confidence in it, then the safest way is to avoid getting poisoned.
Of course, if he was cunning or bold enough, he might take a very small amount of poison, or simply pretend to be poisoned.
What Batman said coincided with the fact that he suspected, as Jonathan did, that the person who did it was one of the faculty members of Gotham University.
