The latest rumour coming out is that Robin Williams has been tapped to play Dr. Hugo Strange.

Robin Williams would have been the perfect Dr. Hugo Strange.

I have been suggesting Robin Williams as Dr Hugo Strange for the last couple of months as well!

Rumors about Robin Williams appearing as Professor Hugo Strange many would know Hugo Strange as one of the few outside the bat family who knows Batman is Bruce.

Batman On Film stoked the rumour with a tweet, and Batman News claims to have a source who believes Strange will turn up in the new movie.

Rumours about the character's appearance in Christopher Nolan's threequel have been circulating for a while now, with Tom Hardy once believed to be playing the character (he's been confirmed as Bane now).

We're taking this one with a huge pinch of salt for now, although it's not entirely out of the realms of possibility.

For one thing, Williams has expressed interest in appearing as a Bat-villain several times in the past.

He's also worked with Nolan before, on Insomnia , when the director effectively tapped the funnyman's inherent creepiness to create a genuinely unsettling villain.
