The Riddler Casting: Any Idea ?

[Detective Flass]

Well?

Personally I think Ed Norton or Johnny Depp would make a perfect Riddler. :cool:

[Spider-Kurt]

Somebody's choice of Eric Stolz(sp?) is what I'm hooked on now.

[Two-Face]

Edward Norton

[logan_weapon_x]

Somebody's choice of Eric Stolz(sp?) is what I'm hooked on now.

That would be me. I had a thread about a week ago on him, there's a specific pic that makes him look just like the Riddler.

Edward Norton:

As good actors as they are, I don't think they have the esscence of the Riddler.

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Edward Norton.

I disagree. :hellboy:

[Two-Face]

Norton for "The Riddler"

[OtepApe]

Gotta agree with Two Face on this. Ed Norton would do a fine job.

[Zooks]

Norton or John Glover (who is probably pushing the age now)

[Detective Flass]

I've been saying Norton since Batman: The Frightening!

[logan_weapon_x]

Norton would be a good Two Face, but not a good Riddler.

[Two-Face]

Norton would be a good Two Face, but not a good Riddler.


Pearce is Two-Face and Norton is "The Riddler"

[logan_weapon_x]

We'll agree to disagree.

[Captain_Obvious]

ED NORTON

[Detective Flass]

NORTON IS THE RIDDLER DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!

[Detective Flass]

It was mean't to be be!

[American_Hobo]

Norton all the way

[DorkyFresh]

Personally....I think Giovanni Ribisi would make an awesome Riddler. He's not as big of a name as Norton and he'd probably cost less. He's also a better actor IMO (not saying Norton can't act or anything).

[P. Cushing]

HUGO WEAVING
http://tipolog.narod.ru/RobespyerMugIL/5/hugo_weaving_05.jpg

or Kesley Grammer or Timothy Hutton or John Cusack.

[Two-Face]

NORTON IS THE RIDDLER DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!



NORTON DAMMIT

[WildCard]

JUDE LAW all the WAY

[MaJiN]

Jude Law as Jim Lee's Riddler.

[Dwarf lord]

I'm starting to agree, though I think Jude Law would make a better Joker

[Joker831]

I always pictured David Hyde-Pierce as the Riddler. I think he would do a nice job as this villain

Otherwise i'd have to go with John Cusack

[Maxwell Smart]

I'd like to see Giovanni Ribisi, like Dorky Fresh said. I just don't see Norton as the Riddler, but Ribisi..yes.

[Two-Face]

Norton dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Balefan]

Something about Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka shouts "RIDDLER" to me for some odd reason.....LOL

[bittersweet]

Edward Norton all the Way

[Detective Flass]

We need to get the word out!

If you're a Norton supporter put it in your sigs DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nolan listened to us for Bale, he'll probably listen to the fans for Guy Pierce. Now We need Edward Norton Dammit!

[Dr Freeze]

Jim Carrey was a perfect Riddler

[Two-Face]

[QUOTE=Dr Freeze]Jim Carrey was a perfect Riddler[/QUOTE

But we need new Riddler cos these Batman Begins sequels nothing to do with last 4 movies!

I don t agree with U

Why changing a cast if it was already great ?

But well if Carrey wouldn t resign then i would choose :

Kevin Spacey (yeah again)

[Two-Face]

so do you think that Batman Begins is sequel to B&R?

P.S Spacey is Lex btw

[Dr Freeze]

Well to me BB is a new creation from the comics universe and it s mainly an adaptation of Batman Year One From Frank Miller

But well if a guy is just good i would choose him again and i don t think there s so many guys able to play The Riddler

[P. Cushing]

Not many people who could play The Riddler?
Hugo Weaving
Kelsey Grammer
David Hyde Pierce
Edward Norton
John Malkovich
Jude Law
Johnny Depp
Kevin Kline
John Cusack

And not Jim Carrey. It's not because he was Riddler before (Frank Finlay played Inspector Lestrade in A STUDY IN TERROR and MURDER BY DECREE, yet no-one thought they were sequels to each other), but because his Riddler sucked.

[cerealkiller182]

kelsey gramer wud be good

[scarymoviebff13]

i think a good choice for the riddler is Micheal Ian black

http://ed.tktv.net/cast/images/mi_black.jpg

[Detective Flass]

kelsey gramer wud be good

He's too old now! He's in his 50's for christ sake.


As for Michael Ian Black, somehow I could see him as The Riddler but he's too young and Norton is the perfect choice.

[Detective Flass]

NORTON DAMMIT!!!!!

http://www.constantinfilm.at/pics/Ed_Norton_8.jpg

[P. Cushing]

He's too old now! He's in his 50's for christ sake.
So? Riddler only has to be young if your presenting a particular version of the character. The BTAS version was probably early fourties and the TLH version could be anything from 35-55.

[Detective Flass]

You have a point....


NORTON DAMMIT!

[cerealkiller182]

i always saw the riddler as a geek. nortons too cool. i think david hyde peirce

[Detective Flass]

He'd be good....

NORTON DAMMIT!

[FanWithoutFear]

You know, before this topic even came out I was pushing for Edward Norton for the role (if this new Batman franchise holds up). For some reason he just screams RIDDLER to me.

[Detective Flass]

I also supported Norton way before Begins as well. Trust me, the franchise will hold up! :up:


So the Majority of SHH! Agrees that Edward Norton = The Riddler. Good, that's how it should be. Who knows he might be in Batman 3 with Two Face and Catwoman and Nolan might listen to our casting choice like with Bale.

[Detective Flass]

http://www.pilliod.net/images/Plastic/Extras/Riddler%20jacket.jpg

[Spidey-Bat]

I'd say Norton too. I can just picture him really well in the green tuxedo and hat leaning on the cane. As long as he doesnt have spiked red hair and a question marked green leotard, i'm fine.

[Detective Flass]

Well looks like the main choice of Hype and BOF is Edward Norton. :D

Look what I have done! :D

[Nightwing5]

Well looks like the main choice of Hype and BOF is Edward Norton. :D

Look what I have done! :D

There is no main choice at BOF

[Detective Flass]

The Majority goes for Norton Nightwing5.

Go check the To WB: Who I want casted as Villains thread stickied in the sequels thread and you'll see.

[P. Cushing]

I think Hugh Laurie would be perfect for The Riddler, especially the TLH/DV version:
http://www.hellomagazine.com/profiles/hughlaurie/hugh-laurie-1b.jpghttp://us.ent4.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/fox/house_photos/hugh_laurie/house5.jpg

[Detective Flass]

Hugh is my second choice for The Riddler.

[Nightwing5]

The Majority goes for Norton Nightwing5.

Go check the To WB: Who I want casted as Villains thread stickied in the sequels thread and you'll see.

I have checked that forum, and there are not that many people that support him, and most of the people that do have left the boards.

If I would say there is any BOF favorite is David Hyde Pierce

[Detective Flass]

Damn it!

I just doesn't ever work out for me. :(

BALE DAMMIT!

[Two-Face]

NORTON DAMMIT!

[Nightwing5]

Jude Law!

[HarleyLover]

A fresh suggestion, and one not bogged down in celebrity baggage-

Alessandro Nivola

http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/alessandro-nivola/alessandro-nivola03.jpg

Probably known best as Pollux Troy in Face/Off, he also played a sort of antagonist to Christian Bale previously in Laurel Canyon.

http://www.geocities.com/cineencasa/cvjp3nivola.jpg

[Voyeur]

Will Smith as the Riddler!

;)

Seriously, I don't think I even want the Riddler to have his own film this time...maybe in passing conversation, like:

Gordon: "Good work on that Riddler case last week Batman!"
Batman: "Thanks, Commissioner!"

[P. Cushing]

I want the TLH/DV version. An informant who Batman goes to when he needs an expert on puzzles or riddles.

[S_H_F_4839]

I would rather see Tim Roth play the ridler, I just think he could pull it off and then some.

[The Overlord]

David Hyde Pierce as a BTAS style Riddler.

[Riven]

I want the TLH/DV version. An informant who Batman goes to when he needs an expert on puzzles or riddles.
Yes! Good idea.

Batman NEEDS informants. Intelligence gathering is a big part of the job. Though I'd recommend the Penguin as a reluctant contact Batman gets "street info" from (just like in Broken City) and Edward more as someone who can work his mind around puzzles like no one can. I'd love to see a scene with Edward locked up in Arkham and Batman comes to hear him out on a riddle... Sort of like Batman's visits to the Calendar Man in TLH.

references:

"Quid Pro Quo" sessions in Silence of the Lambs (but less scary... it is only the Riddler after all, not Hannibal Lecter) and Red Dragon (starring Edward Norton!)
the interrogation scenes from Primal Fear (also starring Ed Norton)
the end scene in Batman Forever when Chase asks the Riddler about Batman's identity... best part of the movie! Very eerie.

[Ceb-Man]

There are some good casting choices on this thread.
Edward Norton is my #1 choice.
But I think that Giovanni Ribisi Hugh Laurie, or David Hyde Pierce would be good choices as well

The Ceb-Man!

[ChadGent]

Another vote for David Hyde Pierce as the Riddler!

[cloudstarx]

I have always felt Paul Reubens absolutely would nail the Riddler. The man was born to play the role.

[cloudstarx]

Also I think that casting big stars as the villians can be overshadowing especially for example jack nicholson *who i was rooting for to beat batman cuz lets face it jack was just too cool to be michael keatons antagonist* carrey was horribly over the top and likeable when pitted against kilmer who just wasnt near carreys starpower once again allowing the batman to be overshadowed by the villains imo that kind of casting is a mistake, make us loathe the villian so batman remains the focus, i like the less glitzy names in this forum for these roles.

[not_a_victim]

Stewart French.

[The Riddler]

jude law of course.

ed norton second choice.

everything else sucks.

[P. Cushing]

Hugh Laurie doesn't suck!

[shaggyaggie457]

Jude Law is the Joker!

NORTON DAMMIT!!!

[The Riddler]

Jude Law is the Joker!

NORTON DAMMIT!!!
jude law cannot laugh like the joker.

he doesn't look like the joker.

his voice isn't what most of us expect of a joker.

law is perfect for the riddler considering both voice and appearance.

[The Riddler]

Hugh Laurie doesn't suck!
yes, yes he does.

[antmanx68]

I like Jason Lee for the Riddler.... I think it should be someone a little younger... just to shake the character up a bit. Make him more like a social misfit/deviant.

[P. Cushing]

yes, yes he does.
You....... bastard!

[Captain_Obvious]

Ed Norton

[newwaveboy87]

Edward Norton, i really do like the idea of this

or if you want him to be a weaselly informant like in Long Halloween - Steve Buscemi

i say, say no to Jude Law as either Riddler or Joker...just no

[Captain_Obvious]

maybe b/c Law is too pretty?

[The Riddler]

maybe b/c Law is too pretty?
nigma is often times the best looking of batman's rougues.

his new look in LOTDK and his appearance in HUSH looks very similar to law. :o

[Ceb-Man]

I would not have a problem with Jude Law as The Riddler. If they were to use the Hush/LODK version as a brilliant criminal mastermind, Law would be brilliant. Riddler was even good in BTAS ( love the origin episode- John Glover was excellent) and I really liked The Riddler on The Batman ( not much on the Marilyn Manson look, but Robert Englund did bring about a good Riddler). All these stories had a common thread brilliant criminal mastermind. Not a psycho like the Joker. Riddler doesn't belong in Arkham asylum, but Blackgate Prison.
Jude Law or Edward Norton could pull it off superbly.
My favorate for Riddler was Norton, but I consider him a close second next to Jude Law.

[Dark Knight]

Jude Law would be great as The Riddler!


2nd choice......Edward Norton.

[Joker831]

Jude Law would do just fine

David Hyde-Pierce has got the look and the skills

Jeff Goldblum has that evil intelliect to do this role, would choose him as well

Ed Norton most definitly although i want him as Carnage more in Spiderman

Those are my Riddler casting choices

david hyde pierece only for an older riddler and seeing as how this is close to batman's early years, that wouldn't make much sense.

[Chomp]

I give you The Riddler!

[SolidRoar]

Did anyone suggest David Hyde Pierce? He'd make a helluva Riddler!

http://images.usatoday.com/news/health/spotlight/_photos/pierce.jpg

[Spidey-Bat]

give me a reason why law would not be a good riddler.

Law is too good looking to be Riddler. Riddler should be someone who's not very good looking but not butt ugly.

Just because Law looks like an artist's version doesn't qualify Law for the role.

[The Riddler]

except he can act like the riddler.

him looking like lee's riddler is just a plus.

[SolidRoar]

him looking like lee's riddler is just a plus.Riddler, you're a fan of the, er, Riddler. (duh~) What do you think of David Hyde Pierce?

[The Kid]

His abe sapien reminds me of the riddler from tas. riddle me this, hellboy...heh

[SolidRoar]

I didn't notice that myself, but what are the odds?! I just think he was born to play the Riddler whenever I see him.

[Spidey-Bat]

except he can act like the riddler.

him looking like lee's riddler is just a plus.

Riddler isn't exactly the hardest villian to pull off, so it's not saying much.

Jim Lee's Riddler isn't even that good. As I said, he's too good looking. Riddler isn't supposed to be a hunk. He's a nerd. :o

[jtsteward]

Jude Law or Norton. Dosen't matter to me which on gets it as long as its one of them.

[Marina-Myst]

Hmm, well in light of what 'The Batman' brought to the table, Manson would make a very interesting Riddler in my opinion. But without the make-up.

[ghost113]

norton for life

[Two-Face]

Do you like bring up old threads?

On topic:

Yes Edward Norton as The Riddler.

[TheJuice]

Campell Scott?

Paul Gross?

Ethan Hawk?

Kevin Spacey? (Yeah, I know he's Lex, but hey, Halle Berry was both Storm and Catwoman)

Matt Damon?

I'm just throwing out names:D

[The Chairman]

I want Crispin Glover. Forget him as The Joker, Tim Roth is my new choice for The Joker. Crispin would be a perfect Riddler.

ROSENBAUM FOR RIDDLER!

[Muze]

whoever it is, ideally, shouldn't steal the movie from Bale. i think Ed Norton's a little too popular; not that he'd be bad at the role.

[Spidey-Bat]

ROSENBAUM FOR RIDDLER!


It'll never happen. He's Lex Luthor on Smallville.

[Muze]

i nominate british actor Hugh Laurie (House & other stuff)

Riddler - Hugh Laurie
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/

[TheRiddlerkid]

Giovanni Ribisi is a kick a$$ actor for the Riddler. Ed Norton, is great, I find though, that he does not have the look of a Riddler.

[GOD90]

Crispin Glover. I know people want him for Joker but I don't think he has it

[Keyser Soze]

Jude Law? Edward Norton? JOHNNY DEPP? Are we thinking of the same Riddler? Yes, these guys probably fit into The Riddler's current new look, but personally speaking, I'll always prefer the classic version.

A nerdy, goofy loser with an inferiority complex. I loved the Loeb/Sale interpretation of The Riddler, and would like to see that in the films. But I don't see the likes of Jude Law or Edward Norton playing that kind of role. Firstly, because they are too high-profile, and secondly, because they aren't "quirky" enough.

So I think that, in looking for someone to play The Riddler, we should look at actors who aren't as well-known. And we should also focus on actors who can be convincing as a lifelong loser like Edward Nigma. Here are my top picks:

GIOVANNI RIBISI
Whoever said this was a genius. A choice I'd never have thought of, but the more I think about it, the better it fits. He's young, fitting into the "early Batman" profile, but can play more offbeat characters than someone like Jude Law.

HUGH LAURIE
Another smart suggestion. Is older, but oculd pull off the smart, cunning element of the character with pinache. Plus, f they wanted to add the goofier elements, he has a background in comedy. He should just lose the "House" stubble and use his native English accent and he'd be an excellent Riddler.

JAY KARNES
Quite an obscure choice, I know. Karnes plays Detective Dutch Wagenbach on "The Shield". I think he has the right combination of geekiness and creepiness to fit The Riddler nicely. On top of that, he also has the advantage of looking the part, and he's not a big name either, meaning he wouldn't cost much.

DAVID HYDE PIERCE
Niles Crane himself, he definitely has the perfect voice for The Riddler. Plus, I think he could really pull off the look. However, he has quite a bit going against him. Firstly, his aproach may be a bit TOO comedic. Secondly, he's already Abe Sapien in "Hellboy".

PAUL GIAMATTI
This is a choice that's not really been mentioned. It's a bit out of left-field, I know, and he doesn't really look the part at all. However, I think Giamatti is an amazingly talented actor, and his curmudgeony personality could really blend nicely with the character of The Riddler.

[super scar]

What about James Spader or Eric Stoltz?

[TheJuice]

What about James Spader or Eric Stoltz?


I could see James Spader being a good Riddler.

[Robin91939]

It'll never happen. He's Lex Luthor on Smallville.
I know he's Lex Luthor on Smallville. He is also Flash on JLA and S:TAS. Big deal.

Halle was also STORM and CATWOMAN (as crappy as that was)
Keanue Reeves was NEO and CONSTANTINE
Rebbecca Romijn was MYSTIQUE and JOAN (Punisher)
Micheal Clark Duncan was THE KINGPIN and MANUTE (Sin City)

And there are other actors that have been in more than ONE superheo franchise, and it works out.

Plus smallscreen and bigscreen are entirely seperate, also, Kevin Spacey IS Lex Luthor, they arn't holding the spot for Rosenbaum, he would be a great Riddler. Could play the part great. Also, LOVES comics. I saw him on CRIBS and he admits to being a complete nerd like that, and come on, he's played to of the biggest names in DC comics, why not a third? That's the riddle.

-R

[Zaphod]

DAVID HYDE '****NG' PEARCE!

[GL1]

dude... you mispelled ****ing...

[The Chairman]

Jeff Goldblum is the one that I want for the role. Robin Williams and Crispin Glover are now distant seconds. Goldblum would make a brilliant Riddler. However, I doubt we'll get to good old Mr. Nygma in the franchise, but if they do I want to see Goldblum do The Riddler.

[Muze]

he's not an obvious choice for the Riddler but my casting choice would be actor Hugh Dancy (once up for the role of Bruce Wayne). why? because he's 'cerebral-looking' and that's a key trait of anyone playing the riddler; similar to Cillian Murphy in a way. why else? because he's actually a decent actor who has been in a wide variety of roles. he would look great across from Bale and they're on the same level; acting-wise. for it to work you sort of have to imagine him as acting supremely arrogant/snobbish (but more subdued than Jim Carrey did). i see him as a much different kind of villain than Ras; not one to engage in a physical confrontation with Batman.

Well?

Personally I think Ed Norton or Johnny Depp would make a perfect Riddler. :cool:



Good choices, but I think Jude Law would be the best choice. He has the British accent, which automaticaly makes you seem smarter, his face and hair line looks Riddler. Hes also as thin as I would think the Riddler would look in real life. :joker:

[ghost113]

rosenbaum sounds like a good choice. iknow he is lex on smallville but thats tv and these are the movies.

[The Chairman]

I know, he's too old, plus he's already Alfred, but back in his younger days, I actually think Michael Caine would have made a great Riddler. Not suggesting him for the role, just saying.

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Jim Carrey for the Riddler, got ya everyone! Thanks, good night, see ya

Seriously, I'll say Robert Carlyle, because I haven't heard this suggestion yet and

[Mr.E.Nygma]

What about James Spader or Eric Stoltz?
Michael J Fox must be suggested before Stoltz, sorry... Just in case he would begin the filmming and get replaced by him, it would be the second time...

Jeff Goldblum is the man for the job. He'd give us the best evil intelluctial Riddler yet. Cold and calculating.

If not him, then Robin Williams (Likely if Nolan's still around) or David Hyde-Pierce

Jeff goldblum would be good

[ghost113]

Gyllenhaal good actor but not the riddler

[Muze]

Hugh Dancy as Riddler. eventually, you guys are going to see it. Jeff Goldblum = great actor but not a good contrast with Christian Bale. it's all about the contrast. plus, Goldblum plays the same character in every movie. what you're asking for is what we got in Batman '98; Batman vs Jack Nicholson in face paint. you want Goldblum in a green question marked suit. i want an actor who blends into the scenery, compliments the rest of the cast, looks good opposite Bale, but puts a new spin on the Riddler. :)

[The Chairman]

http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/jeff-goldblum/jeff-goldblum02.jpg

Jeff Goldblum must play The Riddler. To cast anyone else would be a joke (though I will admit that Edward Norton is a GREAT actor). Goldblum is everything Riddler must be: nerdy, charismatic and arrogant as hell. He is a great actor, anyone who says he plays himself in every movie is wrong. He is a very versatile and in my mind underrated actor.

http://urbanstar.com/goldblum/jg.jpghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/Goldblum150.jpghttp://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~movie/New/jeff.jpg
The man will single-handedly wipe away the stigma of Carrey's performance. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Carrey's performance, but it was basically Carrey playing himself in orange hair and a spandex suit with question marks (honestly, you think Nicholson was playing himself? Watch Carrey's performance again) and can easily be topped. And Goldlbum will do just that.

Goldbulm = Riddler

[iron_man7]

ed norton

[jackyll]

well, if you watch "The Batman", one could say Marilyn Manson.

HAW!

But in all seriousness, I'd go with someone who could really internalize the role, like Ed Norton or Giovanni Ribisi.

[The Black Mask]

johnny depp

[Mr.E.Nygma]

^^Well, Johnny Depp seems to fit everywhere... He was suggested as Joker, Two-Face, Riddler... He's a great actor and he's everywhre!!! So maybe he can be casted as Cobblepot, Killer Croc and Talia and we would still beleive it, because he is magical!!;-)

Watch Carrey's performance again) and can easily be topped. And Goldlbum will do just that.

Goldbulm = Riddler

yes, actually i do think Nicholson was playing himself. his character, sans face paint, was the same guy that he played in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, the Shining, and the Witches of Eastwick. and all of those roles were really just Jack's version of eccentric. nothing wrong with that but i really could have done without seeing him as the Joker. and if, by top that, you mean that i am forever going to remember the Riddler as a muttering eccentric, i'll pass. i loved Jeff Goldblum in the Fly. but after seeing his same presentation a few more times, i'm sick of it. he's, seemingly, incapable of altering his own speech patterns or portraying anyone but himself. be honest, he plays that stammering intellectual faux-charmer role to death.

help me out with the subtle differences between each of the following roles...

[The Riddler]

Riddler isn't exactly the hardest villian to pull off, so it's not saying much.

Jim Lee's Riddler isn't even that good. As I said, he's too good looking. Riddler isn't supposed to be a hunk. He's a nerd. :o
he's looked the same as lee's version for the most part, since the early 90's.

it's nothing new.

[The Riddler]

Jude Law? Edward Norton? JOHNNY DEPP? Are we thinking of the same Riddler? Yes, these guys probably fit into The Riddler's current new look, but personally speaking, I'll always prefer the classic version.

A nerdy, goofy loser with an inferiority complex. I loved the Loeb/Sale interpretation of The Riddler, and would like to see that in the films. But I don't see the likes of Jude Law or Edward Norton playing that kind of role. Firstly, because they are too high-profile, and secondly, because they aren't "quirky" enough.

So I think that, in looking for someone to play The Riddler, we should look at actors who aren't as well-known. And we should also focus on actors who can be convincing as a lifelong loser like Edward Nigma. Here are my top picks:

GIOVANNI RIBISI
Whoever said this was a genius. A choice I'd never have thought of, but the more I think about it, the better it fits. He's young, fitting into the "early Batman" profile, but can play more offbeat characters than someone like Jude Law.

HUGH LAURIE
Another smart suggestion. Is older, but oculd pull off the smart, cunning element of the character with pinache. Plus, f they wanted to add the goofier elements, he has a background in comedy. He should just lose the "House" stubble and use his native English accent and he'd be an excellent Riddler.

JAY KARNES
Quite an obscure choice, I know. Karnes plays Detective Dutch Wagenbach on "The Shield". I think he has the right combination of geekiness and creepiness to fit The Riddler nicely. On top of that, he also has the advantage of looking the part, and he's not a big name either, meaning he wouldn't cost much.

DAVID HYDE PIERCE
Niles Crane himself, he definitely has the perfect voice for The Riddler. Plus, I think he could really pull off the look. However, he has quite a bit going against him. Firstly, his aproach may be a bit TOO comedic. Secondly, he's already Abe Sapien in "Hellboy".

PAUL GIAMATTI
This is a choice that's not really been mentioned. It's a bit out of left-field, I know, and he doesn't really look the part at all. However, I think Giamatti is an amazingly talented actor, and his curmudgeony personality could really blend nicely with the character of The Riddler.
a nerdy goofy riddler is a pushover and won't pose a threat to batman.

riddler beign the cold, calculating and suave villain fits much better, especially on film. a wayne versus nigma battle could even work, not just a batman/riddler fight.

[Muze]

i like the cold calculating part. not sure about 'suave' but i'd settle for aristocratic-looking (think Dorian Grey in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

[Alfie Luke]

... how 'bout Stuart Townsend then?

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/toronto/toronto_film_festival_2004_portrait_studio_photos/stuart_townsend/torontoportraitv.jpg

I think it's a good idea.

[ghost113]

he could be the riddler, he reminded me of him in the league.

I agree.
The Ceb-Man!

[The Riddler]

Philip Seymour Hoffman

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/DeFett/Capote01.jpg

The Riddler
certainly inspired.

also crap. :down

[The Joker™]

Yeah thats a horrible.

[Joker831]

I have to agree.......Jeff Goldblum is my number one choice. I want him to the Riddler in the new franchise.
Anyone who says he plays the same self in every role, i dont think so. He starred in a movie called Deep Cover with Larry Fishburne and was the bad guy sort of. He was excellent in that. He would give us an awesome cold calculating egotistical Riddler.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/Goldblum150.jpg

After him.............i would say David Hyde Pierce. Also same deal as Goldblum
http://images.usatoday.com/news/health/spotlight/_photos/pierce.jpghttp://www.krstarica.com/slike/magazin/film_muzika/hajd_pirs.jpg

And finally........i'd say Robin Williams, especially if Nolan is still directing. Nolan worked with Robin and turned him into an awesome baddie in INsomnia.
http://www.lequotidienducinema.com/galeries/finalcut_galerie/6.jpg

After that, Jude Law and maybe Stuart Townsend (He is good)

[Keyser Soze]

I think that many people are losing track of who The Riddler is. The Riddler is SUPPOSED to be a B-lister, so much so that it's part of his character. Many of his schemes revolve around him trying to prove that he's not a joke. So people saying "Oh, Riddler should be this kick-ass mega-villain who's not nerdy or goofy in the slightest" are clearly so blinded by their love of the character that they don't realise his "weaknesses" are his strengths".

And you can say that Philip Seymour Hoffman is a crap choice. But as an actor he runs circles around Jude Law. Yeah, he's more of a supporting actor than a star like Norton or Law. But don't you realise that, IF Riddler apears in this series, it most likely won't be as the main villain, it will be as a supporting character?

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Steven Seagal for the Riddler!!! joking here

[Keyser Soze]

What about Steven Seagal's gut for The Riddler? The gut DOES seem to be taking on a life of it's own...

[Boy Zeppo]

Jude Law or David Hyde Pierce... I think they show the gentleman villain that the character is more than others

[Muze]

i'll tell you this; regardless of how much of a loser Riddler is in the comics, i sure as hell don't want to see a nerdy goofy loser in one of these movies. save the B-list for the funny books.

[Muze]

... how 'bout Stuart Townsend then?

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/toronto/toronto_film_festival_2004_portrait_studio_photos/stuart_townsend/torontoportraitv.jpg

I think it's a good idea.

because he's recently played that role, because Hugh Dancy was already considered for a role by Nolan, and because i don't see much of a difference between Hugh Dancy and Stuart Townsend. that said, i like Stuart Townsend just fine. just don't think he has the look that's in my head for the riddler. :)

Jude Law or David Hyde Pierce... I think they show the gentleman villain that the character is more than others

yeah, but Hugh Dancy isn't as overexposed as Jude Law, can play as good a 'gentleman' as either of them, and isn't as old as Hyde-Pierce; while looking a lot like him. so, if it's a choice between David Hyde-Pierce and Jude Law, why not just take the algamation of the two?

I doesn't really matter because the riddler would be a semi-villian like scarecrow was.

[Jamie Madrox]

How old do you think they'll make The Riddler, if The Riddler where to be in a Batman sequel?

[ghost113]

Like 34

[ghost113]

since batman supposed to be around 30, 31

[Jamie Madrox]

Hmm... Well, he my not be old enough, but what about Eric Christian Olsen? He played LLoyd Christmas in 'Dumb And Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd'.

[marvelisawesome]

Personally....I think Giovanni Ribisi would make an awesome Riddler. He's not as big of a name as Norton and he'd probably cost less. He's also a better actor IMO (not saying Norton can't act or anything).

http://www.giovanni-ribisi.com/gallery/albums/userpics/loveworkconference2003toronto4.jpgis he that guy in flight of the phoenix?

in the trilogy, yes, but despite what you may think about riddler being a b- list villain, he is perhaps the most popular of all of batman's villains (behind joker) and if he appears, he will likely not play a supporting role and instead be the main focus of a future film.

as for the actor, i don't really know who the actor is except that i would favor a younger, better looking riddler as he has been protrayed to look in recent comics; law is a fine actor, and most of all, he looks the part.

also, if you look to more recent comics, riddler is no longer a b-list villain.

[The Riddler]

because jude law by himself would be better than a mixture. :up:

[The BatDude]

if you want a big star go for norton if you want a lesser known go for rosenbaum
giovanni ribisi will also work

[ghost113]

since we all know that The riddler is going to be a b-list villian in the movies, I believe Giovani ribisi would do an excellent job and yes he was in plight of the phoenix as Eliott

[Keyser Soze]

also, if you look to more recent comics, riddler is no longer a b-list villain.

Yeah, I think this may be more of a personal opinion thing. You see, my favourite interpretation of The Riddler is the way he's presented in "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory". And I like how that extended into "Hush", with his previous status as a "loser" meaning that, when he WAS revealed to be a major threat, it came as a major shock.

I would like The Riddler to be almost like a Verbal Kint kind of character. Give him a supporting role, perhaps have Batman force him into helping him, like in "Dark Victory". But then have The Riddler royally screw over Batman when he least expects it. If nobody sees him as a major threat at first, this will come across as more shocking.

And I really like the idea of Giovanni Ribisi as The Riddler. Ribisi is another criminally underrated actor.

[ghost113]

I agree, he showed be getting bigger roles in his films and not minor roles like in GONE IN 60 SECONDS.

[ghost113]

Also the riddler should be like in he is in BATMAN T.A.S.
that version was cool.

[The Riddler]

Also the riddler should be like in he is in BATMAN T.A.S.
that version was cool.
he acted very similar in the HUSH arc.

At first I thought it was a good idea, but now... yeesh.

[ghost113]

the other picture on this page is good and thats with the makeup from whatevermovie he was in.

[Bat-God]

Hugo Weaving. Perfect Riddler.

[ghost113]

Now who is hugo weaving again

[Keyser Soze]

Hugo Weaving was Agent Smith in "The Matrix".

[ghost113]

[SUPERSEBAS]

Ralph Fiennes!!!!!!!!

SUPERSEBAS, that is a really cool concept sketch for The Riddler. Where'd you get that?

As for Ralph Fiennes, no. he's a great actor, and would be one of my top choices for The Joker. However, he's already playing Voldemort, the key villain in Warner Bros' OTHER mega-franchise.

[lionhart]

That's an Alex Ross sketch for JUSTICE.

It's so removed from the concept of Robin. It's a poor design choice. But Robin won't be in Nolan's films so it's obsolete.

[SUPERSEBAS]

That is the idea, the robin that we know is not good for this realistic batman, needs to be re invented!

And to me this design is great!

I still think Giovanni Ribisi would be awesome as the Riddler..

[Keyser Soze]

Strange you should say that, because I think Crispin Glover is more suited to The Riddler than The Joker. But with both characters, I can name a bunch of people I'd rather see get the part than Mr. Glover:

THE JOKER
Tim Roth
Paul Bettany
Christopher Eccleson
Benicio Del Toro
Michael WIncott

THE RIDDLER
Hugh Laurie
Giovanni Ribisi
Jay Karnes
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Don Cheadle

[ghost113]

Don Cheadle??????????HUH

[Keyser Soze]

Hell yeah. Cheadle would kick all kinds of ass as The Riddler.

[ghost113]

Goldblum is still my top choice, but something about Geoffrey Rush makes me think he could be a good Riddler.

[lionhart]

That is the idea, the robin that we know is not good for this realistic batman, needs to be re invented!

And to me this design is great!

No, if you're going to completely reinvent a character, especially Robin, just to put it in a movie, then it'd be an injustice to the character and the fans, there's no point in a Robin. And especially no point in a "goth" Robin. This Bruce Wayne would refuse to bring anybody down into the pain that he's constantly in.

Oh yeah, Ed Norton, Tim Roth, or a serious Robin Williams for The Riddler.

[Keyser Soze]

Geoffrey Rush is a very interesting choice for The Riddler. If you are going for the older, more intellectual approach, he'd be very good.

[ghost113]

The riddler should be in his mid 20's who is good with computers and very intelligent but should be an anti-villain like he thinks its cool that he is messing with the batman

[Detective Flass]

THE RIDDLER:

1. Ed Norton
2. Will Arnett
3. Don Cheadle

[TheRiddlerkid]

I still think Giovanni Ribisi would be awesome as the Riddler..

http://www.giovanni-ribisi.com/gallery/albums/userpics2/normal_fotp210.jpg

I was to inturrpt a Riddler to real life this is what I imagined he would look like.

Giovanni Ribisi for Riddler!

[Postman]

Don Cheadle is my numero uno choice for Riddler.

[Keyser Soze]

Don Cheadle is my numero uno choice for Riddler.

A lot of people would be unhappy, but you know what? i think Don Cheadle could pull it off.

[ghost113]

Great actor but how would he be good as the riddler?

[Keyser Soze]

Well, he's proved in various films that he can be charismatic, funny, or sinister, depending on what the role requires. So no matter what interpretation of The Riddler the flmmakers went for, he'd be a good fit.

[ghost113]

Good point

[Eddie Dean]

Giovanni Ribisi

[CoolAsICE]

http://images.usatoday.com/news/health/spotlight/_photos/pierce.jpg

Why do so many people think Ed Norton would be a good cast? I don't understand it.

[The Chairman]

Here are my top five choices for The Riddler


1. Jeff Goldblum
http://www.mathiasbothor.com/main.php/photos/big/project/1/photo_nr/19/jeff_goldblum_copyright_by_mathias_bothor.jpg

2. Johnny Depp (he could pull of just about every male rogue except for the brutes and Mr. Freeze)
http://www.allposters.com/IMAGES/MMPH/238774.jpg

3. Edward Norton
http://img.web.de/c/00/57/B4/B1.420

4. Geoffrey Rush (if, as Keyser Soze said, if you're going for the older intellectual type Riddler)
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/poetica/images/rush_reads.jpg

5. Robin Williams (still a possibility with Nolan involved, plus he's got as&ed out of The Riddler part, so Warnor owes him an apology)
http://www.notwriting.com/images/pictures-robin-williams-celebrity-fan.jpg

[The Chairman]

The riddler should be in his mid 20's who is good with computers and very intelligent but should be an anti-villain like he thinks its cool that he is messing with the batman

Sounds like The Creeper.

[ghost113]

Didn't know the creeper did that

[DorkyFresh]

another person i'd LOVE to see as the Riddler is Sam Rockwell...

http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/35/11/30/p4.jpg

[Keyser Soze]

At one point I actually thought he'd be a pretty good Joker. But now that you mention it, he probably fits The Riddler better...

[ghost113]

Actually sam rockwell could star in a, dare i say it the CREEPER feature film as the take a guess the creeper

[snazzy J]

Yeah, Ralph Fiennes all the way. I'm pretty pissed that it took me so long to realize how perfect he is.

[Keyser Soze]

I'd say no to Ralph Fiennes. If he were to play any villain, I'd say it should be The Joker. However, he's playing Voldemort, the main villain in Warner Bros' OTHER mega-franchise, so I don't see him showing up in the Batman films.

[ghost113]

actually he could also play mr. freeze if he shaved his head

[The Chairman]

actually he could also play mr. freeze if he shaved his head

Someone at IMDB actually mentioned Norton for Freeze.

[Keyser Soze]

Ed Harris for Mr Freeze.

[The Chairman]

Just for the heck of it, I'm going to toss the great Brad Dourif's name into the ring. He was originally considered for the role back in 1995 along with Robin Williams, and if you're going for the older intellectual Riddler, he'd be great.

http://lani.joueb.com/images/Brad.jpghttp://www.dragoncon.org/images/guest-photos/dourifb.gifhttp://empress.buzzstuff.net/archives/Brad%20Dourif.jpg

I'm still pushing for Goldblum, but I wouldn't mind Brad Dourif, either.

[ghost113]

I was talking of fiennes for freeze

[nosebleed.]

Hugh Dancy


Agreed. :up:

How about a brit actor, Damien Lewis

[snazzy J]

I'd say no to Ralph Fiennes. If he were to play any villain, I'd say it should be The Joker. However, he's playing Voldemort, the main villain in Warner Bros' OTHER mega-franchise, so I don't see him showing up in the Batman films.
I respectfully disagree completely.

Possiblly

[newwaveboy87]

Edward Norton or Steve Buscemi!!

[The Revengers]

Josh Lucas. I know he worked on the Hulk so i dont how that stuff works but this guy just has a face that you would love to punch and after Stealth he deserves to be beat up numerous times by Batman. Although he did play in two of the worst movies of all time it should not be hard for him to play a smart a##.

[Roughneck]

Sean Maher (Simon from Firefly)

Josj Lucas can do better than the Riddler. Lucas should be Captain America

[newwaveboy87]

Josh Lucas is way too fugly for Captain America.

[Mr. Socko]

Robin Williams if he wasn't so old.

Johnny Depp
Robert Patrick
Alan Cumming

[newwaveboy87]

Edward Norton
Steve Buscemi

but the geek in me would die if The Depp got the role

Interesting....

i think Nivola is too good looking to play Riddler.

Ed Norton or Sam Rockwell for Riddler.

nivola looks ok

Alessandro Nivola... his performance in Face/Off was great. Nivola has the potential to play The Riddler.

Not to mention how he's worked with Bale in "Laurel Canyon."

I think he can do it.

Hugh Dancy has gotten a few votes. He'd make a good Riddler.

[newwaveboy87]

i've only seen Hugh Dancy in Ella Enchanted...so i don't know if he could pull off Riddler.

I also like the idea of Damien Lewis.I just looked him up on imdb,he seems fitting.

[newwaveboy87]

if they went TLH route with Riddler - Steve Buscemi would be ideal
