Fan Casting Mr. Crane in Vincent Ward's Batman: DarKnight

Mr. Crane appears only in flashbacks, but his abuse is the origin of Jonathan Crane's obsession with fear. He is a massive, intimidating father who terrorizes his son, teaching him to use fear as a weapon. Mr. Crane is a deeply flawed man who loves his son in a twisted way—he is trying to "toughen him up," but his methods are abusive and destructive.
