~ Professor Strange to Batman in Batman: Arkham City.
“
Only I can face Gotham's madness and not be overcome. I have perfectly optimized my brain chemistry. I am the one sane person in an insane city. Tonight, I confront you with your monstrous inadequacies. Then, as Cro-Magnon met Neanderthal, I club you, skin you and wear your hide. Because you're unfit for it. Gotham City needs Batman. And after tonight... Batman will be me.

~ Hugo Strange
Professor Hugo Strange is a villain from DC Comics, most often opposing Batman. He used to be a normal psychiatrist, but he got overly obsessed with the Batman and his true identity, and he has plotted numerous schemes that revolve around genetics and mind control.in the Batman rebirth comics he was the main villain of the story arcs I am Gotham and Night of the Monster men.
Hugo Strange was one of Batman's first archenemies in the Golden Age of Comics, appearing in the comics before better-known foes such as the Joker and Catwoman. He first appeared as a mad scientist who creates a dense electrical fog that enables him to commit crimes unseen by the police. He captures and tortures Batman, but the Dark Knight escapes and brings Strange to justice. Strange soon escapes from Arkham Asylum and creates a race of giant humanoid monsters, who wreak havoc on Gotham City. Batman defeats him once again, however, and knocks him off a cliff to his apparent death. (This story would be retold decades later in the graphic novel Batman and the Monster Men, set in the early days of Batman's career.)
The character reappeared in the 1980s, reinvented as a corrupt, insane psychiatrist who performs experiments on Arkham's inmates, turning them into hulking monsters. While Batman is able to to thwart him, Strange discovers his secret identity. Fortunately, he suffers a head injury that renders him amnesiac, thus protecting Batman's secret.
In the "New 52" universe, Strange has a tragic backstory: His son, David, is murdered by mob boss Rupert Thorne, and Hugo is driven mad with grief. He tries to erase the memory of David's death with mind control technology. The technique backfires, however; it leaves him unable to remember anything but David's murder. Batman reluctantly stops Strange from killing Thorne and Strange is imprisoned in Arkham.
Hugo Strange appears in the episode "Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne". He uses his mind control technology to find out the secrets of Gotham's wealthiest citizens and blackmail them; he soon uses these methods to discover that Bruce Wayne is Batman. He arranges to sell the secret to Joker, Two-Face and Penguin. However, Batman uses Strange's own technology against him by creating a tape that makes it look like Strange is scamming the villains, who try to kill him. Batman saves him, and has Robin masquerade as Bruce Wayne to discredit Strange's claims.

Strange’s fragile mental state has left him with intermittent knowledge of Batman’s true identity, a fact that hangs over Bruce Wayne’s head – for if Strange ever snaps completely, Batman’s greatest secret might be revealed…
