In the Scarecrow's debut episode "Nothing to Fear" that's Scarecrow all the way IMO. Even Batman Begins was inspired by that episode. That's the version I know. Sorry.
Atleast we agree that the face is supposed to be much darker.

I think Scarecrow should in some way look monstrous even without people being affected by his toxins. He could scare his victims regardless of what he's wearing, the fact he dresses up at all shows he wants to intimidate people even if they aren't affected. Mainly it's for the audience that he's made to look a certain way, it's easier to believe he does what he does if he visually fits the part. I mean if he was always made to look like just a guy wearing a burlap mask, the Arkham Knight trailers would've sucked.

I always figured The New Batman Adventures was about as popular as TAS just because it was part 2 to what TAS started. It was a way shorter run, but it had its shining moments.
