I think the common threads we've mentioned - intellect, personal motivations, a human reason for villainy - are the reason Robert's one of Crane's most positive relationships in the game.
Positive in Crane's understanding of the word, mind.
Their conversations. The mutual love of science. The fact they're scientists with a shared academic background. It's terrible Crane will turn on him - because though it's the natural thing for him to do, he's ruining something positive in his life, rather than letting it grow.
He won't take Robert's advice after August. He won't listen to anything he says, but it'll set them up for deeper CR in the future that will draw on things central to their characters. It strikes me as interesting that Robert might be the next person Crane gravitates to, once his depression about Batman kicks in. Because we all know how he is with Bruce, yet Robert has everything mentioned above, plus he's the same age as Crane's father, almost.

HORRIBLE.
