Batman Reboot: 10 Essential Villains And Who Should Play Them

2. Hugo Strange - Stanley Tucci

url-1

An insane psychologist and chemical genius who knows Batman's secret identity, Hugo Strange is a formidable foe. Strange had first gained fame when he claimed to have fully analyzed the Batman and his psyche. He would lend himself to the GCPD by attempting to discern Batman€™s identity. Strange would lend credence to his own claims by learning of Batman's true identity of Bruce Wayne, whilst keeping it to himself. He developed a deranged obsession. Using his expertise, he devised devious psychological schemes to defeat Batman and possibly take his place. Strange would challenge Bruce on the utmost of psychological levels. He€™d really attack his psyche. And who better than Stanley Tucci to take on the role? Robin Williams, whom many fans and he himself would like to play the part, would be great. But I feel Tucci would simply be better. If you€™ve seen The Lovely Bones then you know that Tucci is a phenomenal actor. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in that film. To prepare for the role he even consulted an FBI profiler. That goes hand in hand with Hugo Strange, who profiled The Batman which led to his deduction of his identity. He has the appearance as well. He€™s a methodical actor who would be outstanding.
