Injustice 2: 10 Awesome DC Characters That Must Be Included

By Andrew Pollard / May 31, 2016

5. Scarecrow

Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow, is best known for his attempts at taking over Gotham City and for regularly going up against the Caped Crusader. As well as Cillian Murphy playing the character in Christopher Nolans Dark Knight trilogy, the villain has also featured heavily in another video game series: the Arkham franchise. Crane has played a pivotal part in those games and is due to again take centre-stage in the upcoming Arkham Knight, so gamers will be more than familiar with the Master of Fear.

Similar to Constantines inclusion on this list, Scarecrow being in the game could lend itself to some beautiful, terrifying visuals. With his main power being that of inflicting peoples worst fears onto themselves, theres seemingly endless possibilities on how Cranes abilities could be played out on the hulking DC roster assembled in the Injustice sequel.
