Comment Section for why is Batman beating up the scarecrow?

This image humorously mashes up two iconic franchises: "The Wizard of Oz" and Batman. In the top panel, we see the classic scene from "The Wizard of Oz," where Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion joyfully skip down the Yellow Brick Road. In the bottom panel, however, Batman is fiercely attacking the Scarecrow. Here’s the joke: Batman has a villain in his own universe named the Scarecrow, who commits crimes using fear-inducing toxins. The image humorously conflates the harmless, friendly Scarecrow from "The Wizard of Oz" with Batman's menacing foe, leading to Batman mistakenly assuming the benign scarecrow is his enemy and beating him up. The absurdity of Batman misinterpreting the scene and bringing his crime-fighting intensity to the innocent world of Oz is what makes this comic hilarious.
