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.

4)In ‘Batman: the Animated Adventures’, a brilliant young doctor named
Harleen Quinzel, was corrupted by the Joker and became super-villainess,
Harley Quinn.

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.
