I don't think Strange is one of the 7 -- while he is a significant Batman villain, he isn't really first-tier -- much more likely his position is like that of Sportsmaster. BTW -- you notice Brain's use of "heavy gravity" attack tactics (creating an area where your opponents are pinned to the ground by their own weight? That is a major tactic used repeatedly by Apokolips forces -- for example Barda's mega-rod has a beam that does that and Darkseid used that tactic  during his first encounter with Superman-- Apokolips security also used it during Scott Free's first escape from that world.
