Right, small update on the writing.
I'll give a sneak peek at the birth of Scarecrow over the weekend. It's pretty creepy... It's where he returns to the farm from his childhood. Initially, he was meant to have murdered his aunt as a child, like in the comics... but I felt it more powerful if he returns to it after many years and interacts with her, terrorising her, then murdering her. It fits in with Terry meeting Bruce and the birthing of heroes and villains, due to family members. Crane's aunt is responsible for his descent into madness, as she's a religious fanatic who tortured him as a child, telling him to fear the Lord.
There's a lot of messed up religious imagery going into it, as Crane comes to associate the image of Christ on the cross with the image of the Scarecrow tied up in the field, next to the spinning windmill... since the spinning of the blades symbolises rebirth (thank you, Silent Hill!).
Even Bruce, Terry and the giant bat are in the image of the Holy Trinity in one scene!
And I've put more imagery in Selina's introduction. Where she's dressed very demure and conservative, since she's no longer the sexualised Catwoman. That's left to her gang of young girls. This is a statement to the standard that I think is happening/happened to the industry; the treatment of older starlets and the sexualization of teens.
It's a very dark story, so bare this in mind
