“Fear State” wraps up in the monthly Bat comics this week, so Matt and Will are reading three stories that feature the mastermind behind the most recent Batman crossover: Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow. See him be whimsical, see him be pathetic, see him be epic. And find out which three of these stories features the phrase that almost was the title of this episode: an uncontrollable butt frenzy. No, it’s not what you think: it’s way weirder and less sexy than you might be thinking. Buckle up, everyone: this one is wild.
- Fear for $ale (Detective Comics V.1 #571)
- Scarecrow (Batman V.1 #523-524)
- Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgment on Gotham

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of 5. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the podcasts BatChat with Matt & Will and The ComicsXF Interview Podcast.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
