A new promo for Gotham‘s fourth season gave fans a new look at the iconic DC foe. The Scarecrow exterior appears to be different from what was seen in Gotham‘s first season, and his eyes and body emit a rather terrifying fire.

It’s unclear if this particular Scarecrow is actually Jonathan Crane (Charlie Tahan) himself, as the suit he was seen wearing in Gotham‘s San Diego Comic-Con trailer looks pretty different. It could very likely be one of Crane’s hallucinations, which he started developing after overdosing on his father’s anti-fear serum in his Gotham debut.

Either way, this new look at the DC Comics foe certainly looks terrifying – which will help contribute to the ‘horror movie’ feel of the character’s return.

“We’re really going to fashion, especially Episode 2, almost a horror movie episode where we really get to see Scarecrow.” executive producer John Stephens revealed. “I think he’s purely terrifying. Imagine, rather than the other versions of Scarecrow out there — because there are a lot of different versions — what if you just really tell Scarecrow as a horror movie? Because he could be scary as hell.”

Gotham will return for its fourth season on Thursday, September 21st, at 8pm EST.

Gotham’s origin story continues to unfold, and as the show enters its fourth season, the stakes will be higher than ever!

And that’s just the beginning! What threat does Ra’s al Ghul pose, and will Penguin regain his title as the King of Gotham? What new villains are in store for season four, and what does Bruce Wayne’s season finale reveal mean for Gotham City — and his ultimate destiny?
