How Scarecrow Sets Up The Magistrate In Batman Infinite Frontier

We've already seen the new look Scarecrow for Infinite Frontier #0. Not so much of the bag on his head. We have also seen Dr Jonathan Crane in Future State: Harley Quinn, having rejected the Scarecrow identity and working for the Magistrate to bring in and incarcerate other Batman villains of Gotham. But what will join the two? Spoilers ahead, of course.

We have seen Saint Industries in DC Future State, one of the companies behind the Magistrate's drone and cyber technologies, patrolling Gotham as a fascist state. And we know that Simon Saint will be in Batman, setting up The Magistrate for Mayor Nakano. Well, Infinite Frontier will see Simon Saint working with The Scarecrow to create the conditions that will lead to people accepting the new fascist junta. Because what the Scarecrow can do better than anyone else is generate fear. And as we all know, "fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering". Thank you, Yoda.

But also Gotham has a new disease, one called Cheerdrops. A new drug that creates great waves of elation in its users but can also send them into a catatonic trance. And while they may look like they are Joker-derived, they come from The Scarecrow instead… catch up with more Infinite Frontier, right here.
