The
iconic “hospital” for the criminally insane, Arkham Asylum is set
to make its debut on the small screen on the fourth episode of Bruno
Heller's upcoming Gotham series. The episode, titled Lavender will
see the debut of 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", said
Heller in a previous interview.
This
real life Asylum is the transformed Bayley Seton Hospital in Staten
Island, New York.
