Hugo Strange is a major bad guy in the next Dark Knight video game, Batman: Arkham City. Who is he? He's a villain who has been around since before the Joker. And he's got an obsession. As you can see in the new trailer for Arkham City, Strange knows Batman's secret identity — and he flaunts it. Hugo Strange's knowledge of Batman's life as Bruce Wayne has been one of Strange's defining characteristics since he was introduced as a nemesis in Detective Comic #36 in 1940. In many of his various incarnations he's always been some sort of psychiatrist who has figured out who Batman really is. He also has shown a tendency to create serums that turn men into brutish henchmen. The Joker already did the serum-charged henchmen thing in 2009's award-winning Batman: Arkham Asylum game, but this secret identity twist would be a fresh addition to the game series. Strange didn't appear in Arkham Asylum except in the unlockable dossiers hidden in the game.
Those files, reprinted here from a compendium of them on GameFAQs, clarify the kind of Hugo Strange we're getting in these games. Note that he doesn't appear to always know who Batman really is.
