His personality change was extremely evident during his terrorist threat to Gotham. He also deduced that Commissioner Gordon's greatest fear was that he blamed himself for his daughter's paraplegic condition and needed to protect her, however buried beneath this was the fear that he'd fail and used this as an advantage to control Gordon after he and Batman confronted him. This was also shown when he kidnapped Barbara Gordon as to fend off Batman then constantly, sadistically attacks him with threats against her life during Stagg's Airship as to leave him off guard. During his therapy sessions, he used cutting words and veiled threats to drive his psychiatrist into a state of paranoia until he revealed that Scarecrow had secretly been dosing Murphy with his toxin for weeks. Though he was a genius in his own regard, what made Scarecrow more despicably intelligent was his knowledge of people's pressure points. Ironically in AK, Scarecrow not only showed no fear (including when he was attacked by an enraged Batman) he displayed no emotions whatsoever being extremely calm and apathetic, that is until he overdosed with his own Fear Toxin, becoming a cowering mess.

The cause of Scarecrow's fixation was presumably from his own traumatic past viciously taunted and bullied into his childhood and because of this, he dedicated himself as an adult to overpower any terror he encounters through biochemistry. The only thing he showed any care towards was his own work the mass production and utilization of his toxin as a weapon.

In Arkham Knight, he commands an alliance of supervillains in his master plan to finally destroy Batman once and for all. Crane was obsessed with human fear and realized he could gain power if he could control it, and thus invented a fear-inducing chemical that douses his victims with crippling anxiety before using for a life of crime.
