The Dark Knight Rises Hugo Strange

[Octoberist]

Hugo Strange is not a bad villain. I just can't see Nolan using him.

I think combining Hugo Strange and The Riddler would be a good combination.

If Millar isnt lying, I can see Hugo being a option. "Strange Apparitions" is held in pretty high regard for fans who read the book back in the day.

Hugo Strange would be cool, because he was one of the first real super-villain Batman has faced, although it must be said that there aren't really many stories that feature himm especially considering his 70 years history. I think stuff like "monster men", "fog machines" and "ghost projections" are also out of the question for Nolan's movie. So I would say "no" to being the main enemy.

To give the thread a BUMP (since the Black Mask thread got bumped and The Riddler one will now likely fade into obscurity), perhaps we should now be looking at Hugo Strange as a serious contender for the role of main villain, and the role Tom Hardy could be playing.

So where did rumor begin about Hugo being in TDKR?

There isn't a rumor. Right now there are no rumors as to who Tom Hardy is playing, only speculation.

Anyone working on a Tom Hardy as Hugo Strange Batman manip?

Well, we did have the hints from Millar about them using a character from his childhood. People figured out that Black Mask came a little too late in the 80s, but the 'Strange Apparitions' arc with Hugo Strange fit the timeline.

I really think we're getting either Hugo Strange or Black Mask or both to be honest!

Wow, glad you bumped this thread or I'd have missed this! Excellent casting choice. You've been consistently impressive lately, Keyser.

Millar's not in the TDKR circle of trust.

Now this I can easily get behind. Great choice.

Who's that guy?

 

[ronny]

Hugo Strange is such a bizarre name. Is it one of those bad puns writers used to be fond of? Like Pam Isley or Victor Fries?
Monster Men aside, he seems like an interesting character, but the name makes me wonder if he's just one of those gimmick villains who has a name that matches his whole persona.

Oh, and Gianakin, that guy is Brian Cranston. Amazing actor. Watch Breaking Bad and you'll see what I mean.

 

[RustyCage]

Who's that guy?

Bryan Cranston, from Breaking Bad.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Who's that guy?

Bryan Cranston. He plays Walter White on AMC's Breaking Bad. Great show.

Frankly, yes.

But I think it ties less into his 'villain persona' than Fries.

S**t, he's that doctor from Seinfeld! Wow, good choice

Don't ignore this. Watch it. And see why Cranston is such a great choice.

Nice

He's got a pretty good Batman voice! Considering Strange's obsession with becoming Batman, that works out...

Good scene.

Plus, he'd be a great Gordon!

Next franchise maybe?

Although, I'm so in love with Gary Oldman's performance that, despite Cranston rocking, I'd still cry.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I'm glad so many of you approve of the Bryan Cranston idea. Though it seems Tom Hardy could be playing him now, and he's good too.
