Yes. I would have made some elements a tad darker. The entire piece was to look like a hallucination. Dead rats, maggots, crows, and bats on the ground. The gas surrounding his feet with an undead Robin climbing from the ground gasping for air reaching out to Batman. Scarecrow, holding his scythe forward commanding the undead to attack his enemy. It was to represent Batman’s inner guilt being used against him in a hallucination.
The scarecrow himself is not an imposing character. His strength is your inner weakness so the piece had to portray this more than anything. I think SS did a good job of that. It upholds the archetype of the character thoroughly and shows him at his most menacing.
The character you see here is not how he is to the unaltered eye. He is gangly and Monsteresque. The scarecrow is the mainstream characterization of the SS nightmare line more than any other character.
