Titans Season 3 Proves Batmans Greatest Power

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Titans season 3, episode 11, “The Call Is Coming From Inside the House.”

HBO’s Titans just proved one of Batman’s greatest powers. While Iain Glenn’s Bruce Wayne might be compromised and largely absent in Titans season 3, one of his greatest strengths is featured all the same when Scarecrow and Red Hood take over Wayne Manor and infiltrate the Batcave. With the Titans on the run as fugitives, Jonathan Crane decides to indulge in all of the luxuries Wayne Manor has to offer; however, while episode 11 sees Crane digging around the Batcomputer, Scarecrow ultimately doesn’t like what he finds.

In Titans season 3, episode 11, Gotham’s new heroes have been turned into villains thanks to Scarecrow and Red Hood taking control of the narrative, preying on the fears of Gotham after tainting the city’s water supply with fear chemicals. As a result, Wayne Manor was free for the taking. The titular heroes being indisposed allowed Scarecrow and Jason Todd’s Red Hood to simply move in, using it as their new base of operations.

However, once Crane strolled into the Batcave and began exploring the headquarters of his greatest foe, he decided to listen to the Dark Knight’s recorded psych evaluation of the Scarecrow himself. Interestingly enough, Scarecrow did not appreciate Batman’s assessment and profile, but only because the Dark Knight was brutally correct in identifying Crane’s flaws and weaknesses, having studied his criminal record and unique psychosis in detail, proving that one of his greatest powers is truly knowing his foes:

“Jonathan Crane, the victim of abuse and neglect was ill-equipped for the Scarecrow’s unique form of brutality. Taking into account that Crane’s alter-ego was the mastermind, while Crane himself, the scientist, the diligent student, was wholly ineffectual. It is my opinion that Crane is one of the most pitiable among Gotham’s violent criminals. A broken man without a voice, doomed to speak through others.”

Seeing as how Crane has indeed drugged Jason Todd into complacency and is actively using the Red Hood as a proxy to take over Gotham, it seems as though Titans’ Batman has the Scarecrow pegged. There’s a reason Bruce Wayne is known as the World’s Greatest Detective, and his psych profile of Jonathan Crane in this episode of Titans is a great example of one of the Dark Knight’s greatest strengths. Batman takes the time to know his foes: who they are, what drives them, as well as where they’re their weakest and most flawed.

All in all, Batman’s analysis of Scarecrow is extremely accurate, and Crane knows it. As a result, the rest of the episode sees him attempting to prove the Dark Knight wrong, looking to attain an uncharacteristic level of brutality that might just be what finally pushes Red Hood away in the coming episodes. In any case, while Batman may be largely absent from Gotham City in Titans season 3, this scene in particular dynamically proves one of his greatest powers.
