   3)In the current saturday morning show ‘The Batman’, Dr. Hugo Strange started out as the head of Arkham - with results similar to the Scarecrows’ in Batman Begins.

Hugo Strange generally goes by the title “professor”, probably so as to not be confused with Marvel’s Dr. Strange, who is considerably stranger than Prof. Strange...which is not to say that Prof. Strange isn’t strange in his own right. This is also not his first involvement with Arkham from the management side. There’s a miniseries from a few year back titled “Batman & the Monster Men” where Prof. Strange bribed Arkham personel to supply him with inmates for use in unsavory experiments.

The official title is somewhat nebulous (this show has the distinction of being the first and possibly only show to never have the show’s name featured even once during the beginning or end credits, or adjacent to any commercial breaks, as it was deemed that the pointy-eared cowl was distinctive enough that nearly everyone in the entire world would get the idea from Batman’s closeup photo in the opening credits), but it is commonly refered to as Batman: The Animated Series (or B:TAS), while the last season or so was retitled to The Batman and Robin Adventures. It’s also the origination for an animation style dubbed “dark deco”, where all the backgrounds are painted on a black base rather than the customary white, which really tones the colors down.

(...) The comparison is apt because like Abu Ghraib under U.S. control, Arkham Asylum is susposed to be run by the 'good guys'. Their mission is to protect the general population by incarcerating the bad guys - but not to abuse and torture said bad (...)
