The upcoming Gotham series will feature several
of the greatest villains from Batman's rogues gallery, like Catwoman, Poison
Ivy, Riddler, and the Penguin, with a promise of more like Joker, and
Scarecrow, but in a recent interview with IGN, Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller,
revealed that another villain will make its way to the series, psychiatrist
Hugo Strange.
"Hugo
Strange is going to pop up because we're going to start dealing with how Arkham
was created and why Arkham was created in the way that it was so, yeah,
absolutely. It's a Season One thing because in our telling of it the way Arkham
was created and the why and how is one of the causes of the particular criminal
climate in Gotham that allowed Batman to happen. The revolving door of Arkham
is both a brilliant narrative device because it allows you to -- you don't have
to kill people off, you can just put them in cold storage -- but if you're
telling the story from the start you kind of have to explain, 'What the f--k?
Why don't you make that place a place people don't escape from?' We're going to
explain why it is the way it is and Hugo Strange is a big part of that."
Strange uses psychological and genetic
modifications to create "monster men", and has an un-healthy
obsession with Batman. Given that there won't be a Batman in Gotham and extrapolating
from the comments above, it's safe to bet that Strange will be the reason why
Arkham has a "revolving door".
Gotham debuts on Fox on September 22.
