As I understood, you should know USA mythology to understand the joke: Batman(attacker) has an enemy named Scarecrow in his world. The name of the personage who is being beaten is Scarecrow too.
I have been sitting here trying to figure this shit out for like 5 minutes. Thank you!!
Funny that ‘Oz’ is also the nickname of the penguin.
I’ve seen this comic for years, even have it on my phone, never saw it with the middle panels before
Wicked lore says the scarecrow is a scarecrow basically scprfically so he doesn’t bleed
scprfically
What?
Specifically. No idea how Gboard did that considering it swiped “specially” and I went back and tapped the suggestion that said “specifically”
Ok, that clears up the garbled word confusion…
the scarecrow is a scarecrow basically specifically
That’s still a mess of a sentence.
The scarecrow in the universe of The Wizard of Oz was transformed into a scarecrow by Elphaba to protect him from being brutalized by the Munchkin guard. He was “human” (or whatever the Oz equivalent is) before that.
Interesting! Is that lore from the original series of books, or new to the Wicked retelling?
It’s part of Wicked. No clue if it’s in the Oz books
Guess it’s time to reread the books! Thankfully they’re all pretty short and easy reads.
Different scarecrow
Meaning Batman was right: it’s not the Oz scarecrow
Harvey Dent… can we trust him?
A straw man argument
Exactly! That’s what I thought this was about until I noticed who was punching who.
I had the strongest feeling it was intentional. Only way to find out is to ask the author.
🎵 We want to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of… oh.
