[edit] Batman: The Animated Series

Dr. Strange as seen in Batman: The Animated Series.

Professor Hugo Strange he runs a rest hospital where as parto of the treatment, he uses a machine to graphically see whatever is on his pacients minds when he interviews them, recording and using it to blackmail them later. After Judge Maria Vargas a friend of Bruce Wayne is rescued by him as Batman from commiting suicide due to the presure, Bruce decides to the hospital and take the "treatment", to find out what's going on. Which allowed Strange to discover his secret identity.

As he does in the comics, instead of just blackmailing Wayne, Strange decides to auction the information ed off this information to a trio of Gotham's villains: The Joker, The Penguin, and Two-Face (replacing Rupert Thorne). Only in this case, Batman switches the tape with one he had created that portrayed Strange as fabricating the secret identity, outraging the mobsters. Strange tried to save his skin by simply telling the villains that Bruce Wayne was Batman, but since Two-Face knows Bruce Wayne personally, acuses Strange of fraud and they simply scof at the idea, thinking he was lying.

The trio then tried to kill him by throwing him out of an airplane. Batman saved him at the last minute, however, and has Robin showing up at there disguised as Bruce Wayne to discredit Strange's claims of knowing the Dark Knight's secret identity.

[edit] Justice League Unlimited

A cameo of Dr. Hugo Strange in Justice League Unlimited.

In Justice League Unlimited, Strange returns as a member of Project Cadmus. His appearance was excessively brief, however: seated at the Cadmus table in "The Doomsday Sanction" with no lines. Producer/writer Dwayne McDuffie confirmed that Strange's appearance was intended to set up a later use of the character, presumably in "Question Authority", where a torture scene serves to have Cadmus need to pull information from the Question's mind (a process that Strange is undoubtedly familiar with). However, due to the Bat-Embargo, Strange became unavailable, and his place in Cadmus was taken by Dr. Moon. It can be inferred that Cadmus learned Batman's secret identity from Strange.

[edit] Design

In the animated universe, Strange has not only an ugly head but also a bad short body, almost hunchbaclked and with no neck.
