Arlen

Arlen is a fictional city in the U.S. state of Georgia. In DC Comics continuity, it is the birthplace of the Keeny family. Karen Keeny had an affair with a man named Gerald Crane, who left her with a son, Jonathan. Karen's family disapproved of the affair, and took over the raising of Jonathan. Karen eventually moved away from Arlen for nearby Latham. Gerald Crane left Arlen for Gotham City, as did Jonathan many years later. Jonathan Crane eventually became the costumed villain known as the Scarecrow.
