Actor B.D. Wong (Jurassic World, Law & Order: SVU) is heading to ‘Gotham.’ Wong has been cast in a recurring  role as DC supervillain, Professor Hugo Strange, according to USA Today. 

Strange is described as “a brilliant professor and psychiatrist tapped to head up Gotham City’s notorious Arkham Asylum.”

He’s hired to help the city’s criminally insane, but Strange has a nefarious streak as well: The professor is also conducting experiments on inmates and testing extraordinary abilities in order to create superhuman folks for Indian Hill. The underground Wayne Enterprises black-ops program was introduced in this week’s episode of Gotham as the secretive place where a badly burned Firefly (Michelle Veintimilla) was taken after being captured by the GCPD.

Strange’s first appearance in Detective Comics No. 36 in 1940 predated iconic Bat-baddies such as Catwoman and Joker, and the comic-book supervillain has starred in various cartoons and the recent Batman: Arkham video-game series.

Official Description:

Penguin is King of Gotham and after a shakeup at the GCPD, Detective James Gordon’s moral compass wavers, as he seeks help from Penguin. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne continues to explore the secrets from his father’s office, while GOTHAM newcomers Theo Galavan (James Frain) and his sister, Tabitha (Jessica Lucas), make friends with some unlikely allies, a group of dangerous inmates from Arkham in the all-new “Rise of the Villains: Damned If You Do,…”
