15 Essential Batman Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies
4. Hugo Strange
Why He's Awesome
You don't become the first real recurring villain to someone as big as Batman without earning your stripes. Before The Joker leapt to the top spot, mad scientist Strange terrorised Gotham with his Monster Men. Since those early days, he's been reinvented as a psychologist, but in most iterations he's smart and dangerous enough to work out who Bruce Wayne is.
He's a typical mad scientist type, fascinated by Batman as a specimen to be dissected, and the best thing he boasts is allowing for a Arkham Asylum centred story, since he's worked both there and at Blackgate (as well as being a resident at times). Combining him with another villain to hunt Batman would be a particularly strong way to spin a story.
How Likely Is He?
He's been rumoured before, and there's no reason he couldn't slot into the current iteration of Batman. Most excitingly for fans who do want to see him, there's a lot of talk of the next Batman solo movie being set in Arkham in part. And you can't really have the Asylum without its evil psychiatrist involved. 8/10
