Description

Have you ever seen Dr. Hugo Strange get bitch slapped? Well you have now.

I can’t help but think of the famous “slap” meme when looking at this bottom panel. Makes me wonder if Doug drew any inspiration from the meme.

It's certainly a striking piece. That will be $5 please.

If any Batman villain deserves to be bitch slapped, it's Hugo Strange. Great page!

Nicely drawn page. After reading the dialog, it seems that Strange almost, almost asked to be slapped. He did want a sample from Batman's glove. And he did provoke him. So... Also, I find it funny that one of the most iconic Batman drawings was done by Curt Swan.
