IGN Interview with Bruno Heller on Hugo Strange and Arkham in Gotham
Well folks, according to this interview with Bruno Heller. written by Jim Vejvoda on IGN it looks like Hugo Strange will be appearing on Gotham, likely in the first season. It also seems that we will see the beginnings of Arkham Asylum on Gotham. Below is a little bit of info from the article about Hugo Strange:
"I chatted with Gotham executive producer and show runner Bruno Heller at today’s FOX presentation at the Television Critics Association, during which time Heller told me that Professor Hugo Strange will soon be appearing on the show. Strange — who is familiar to gamers for his role in the Arkham games — was known for making monster men, either psychologically or through chemical means. He also learned Batman’s secret identity and became obsessed with him."
It seems Harvey Dent will be a character on the show but it looks like he will be closer in age to Jim Gordon, instead of being around Bruce’s age. This is what Mr. Heller had to say about the origins of Arkham Asylum in Gotham:

"“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 — but if you’re telling the story from the start you kind of have to explain, ‘What the f***? Why don’t you make that place a place people don’t escape from?’ We’re going to explain why it is the way it is and Hugo Strange is a big part of that.”"
