Batman: The Animated Series1992

Scarecrow:
I might have underestimated the Batman, but at least the university is finished.

Anthony:
You know, boss, I always hated school, but, how come you hate the university so much?

Scarecrow:
They tried to destroy me.

Nigel:
You mean they kicked you out because you weren't smart enough?

Scarecrow:
No, you simpleton! [Squeezes Nigel's nose]

Nigel:
Ow!

Scarecrow:
I taught there. I was a professor of psychology, specializing in phobias. Inducing terror has always intrigued me. Even, as a boy, I liked to frighten things. People, animals, it was all the same. I became obsessed with fear's crippling power. Later, when I became their leading professor of subliminal psychology at the university, I began performing experiments on fear and its subsequent effects. Dr. Long thought I went too far. He called me a lunatic. So now, they will learn the true nature of horror!

Anthony:
Wow, he's a good professor.
