I feel that Bane would be able to overcome whatever psychological fear Scarecrow’s toxin would induce then it would be back breaking time!
I like Bane more. Scarecrow is cool but Bane is more strategic and can attack his foes from multiple perspectives. Scarecrow just use’s his fear toxins.
Like for example, there’s the scarebeast that he can turn into, which unlike Crane who isn’t the best at fighting, is a monster that can tear things to shreds
If we’re gonna say who’s the best villain in comparison, I’d go with Bane purely because he understood how to break the Bat both physically, and mentally. He knew The Batman would never sleep while every criminal from Arkham was released. He knew by the time Batman finished cleaning up things that he’d be worn out. He then even figured out who Batman was and had the balls to break his back at Wayne Manor. Overall for me while I prefer the themes of Scarecrow, Scarecrow himself hasn’t come close to destroying Bruce as badly as Bane ever did.
I’d say if he timed it just right and pumped enough of a volume of fear toxin into Bane to get it to work, Scarecrow could theoretically get the upper hand.
But let’s face it. In hand-to-hand combat, Bane could easily snap Scarecrow in half like a twig.
I tend to side with smarts over strength, so I think that Scarecrow would beat Bane. I feel like he could come up with a clever plan based on his skills with psychology and science. Not to discredit Bane, I do believe he is smart, he’s just not on the level Scarecrow is.
