This evening the web has been aflutter with rumors that Robin Williams will play Dr. Hugo Strange. It all seems to stem from a tweet by Batman On Film, but as Caped Crusader sources go, they’re among the most trustworthy.
Nolan has a thing for putting 3 villains in these Batman films and I really didn’t expect him to buck the trend with this one. So far we have our Selina Kyle and Bane in place and now the idea of Robin Williams portraying Dr. Strange rounds everything out. I have no problem with the idea of Robin Williams playing this role because, bottom line, I think he’s a fantastic dramatic actor. This guy has nailed roles where he plays some disturbed, often psychotic, doctor or photo developer and I think he could actually fit in rather well with the rest of the cast adding some more appreciable talent to make a great film.
