Not a bad choice, but I want this guy for The Riddler:

I probably agree, but for the sake of argument I wanted to see the reaction to Freeman.

 

[ghost113]

He is actually wearing something the joker would wear in this pic.

 

[warren_sparta27]

i'd rather ed norton for the riddler than freeman

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Hell yes.

 

[ghost113]

I really like that choice for rupert thorne.

 

[The Chairman]

I agree that Liotta as Maroni (which I believe I originally came up with, sorry if someone else did) and Paul Sorvino as Thorne would be excellent casting. I also think Brian Cox would be a fantastic Thorne.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

I also think Brian Cox would be a fantastic Thorne.

God yes....

FREEMAN FOR RIDDLER DAMNIT!

I like the idea, and I would not mind if he was casted. I just think there are actors out there who are better suited for the part.

Like Goldblum. Or Edward Norton. Or Eric Stoltz. Or John Malkovich (though I want him for Hugo Strange). Or David Hyde Pierce.

Those are my top 5 choices for the role.

 

[lionhart]

Sorry, but I'd prefer Norton for The Riddler.

 

[StorminNorman]

Sorry, but I'd prefer Norton for The Riddler.

if I was honest I probably do to, but I want to be rooting for some under the radar candidate, so Freeman's my guy.

 

[ghost113]

cool choice for a rarely unknown actor for the riddler.

 

[Eddie Dean]

How do you like Martin Freeman as the Riddler?

I like that choice.

 

[ghost113]

It's different and he would probably do a really good job at it.

 

[Two-Face]

Martin Freeman as The Riddler? I could see him play the role but I never seen him taking serious roles before, I don't want anther of Schumcher's Riddler on screen.

 

[ghost113]

Well it's not schumaker it's nolaan and he wouldn't make that mistake.

It would all be under Nolans direction so there is no risk of that, plus it would take a lot of less-than legal substances for Freeman to ever get as whimsical as Carry was as the Riddler (or whatever he was).

 

[GL's Light]

I think Martin Freeman's wrong for The Riddler. His appeal is that his screen persona is that of a schlumpy everyday guy who's always bemused by the situations he finds himself in. The Riddler needs to be sharp, angular, and intense.

I could see Freeman playing that though, I can't tell you why but its just a gut feeling. Plus I think he has a certain look to him I see in the Riddler.

 

[ghost113]

Someone do a manip of freeman as the riddlerr MANIP, MANIP
