The Dark Knight Rises If the Riddler was in a Begins sequel, what would you want him to be like?

[catintheengine]

Oh, I saw someone up above beat me to it.

I've seen a lot of people saying that Bettany should have been cast as Joker, but I could see him as more of the Riddler. Giamatti was also a great choice.

Also, and I know I'm going to get ripped apart for this, but why not Steve Carell? I think it would be a great way to show some acting chops outside of silly comedy. I could definettly see Carell playing a slighty maniacal Nigma, who's just a few cards short of a deck, yet still intelligent.

Edit: Dear God, so sorry about that.

FINISH HIM!!!!!

 

[7Hells]

Edward Norton would be great.

omg he would be perfect.
Definately watch Primal Fear Two Face!
Paul Giamatti would be good but I'm a firm believer in sexy villians

 

[Chris Wallace]

I like Ed Norton, I'm not opposed to the idea of him playing Nygma.

If the Riddler was in a Batman Begins sequel this is how I would want him to be:

Some people mentioned that they liked the idea of the Riddler being like the villains from "Saw" and "Se7en". I really like those ideas. I think that having the Riddler would be a good chance to do a mystery/who done it, story. Everybody knows that the Riddler is Edward Nigma, so they should never actually show you who Edward Nigma is. Instead, they should show you Edward Nigma sometime in the movie (maybe, meeting Bruce Wayne), but not let you know that it's him. They should unravel the mystery at the end of the movie, finally revealing who the Riddler is.

I also think that the Riddler should be lethal, like the villains in "Saw" and "Se7en", and that there should be a Riddle next to all of his victims. Unlike the Joker, though, his murders should have meaning and purpose behind them (revenge?). He shouldn't kill people at random, or just for the fun of it.

So what do you think?

I like this. I want him to be very intelligent and egotistical as well. I would like him to be close to Bruce's age.

 

[Chris Wallace]

If he's killing for revenge, it should be b/c somebody screwed him over. Like in TAS when he wanted to kill that CEO for squeezing him out of his royalties.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Someone please do some manips? That would be awesome!

 

[batlovescatDC]

I want him to be much more serious than the freakin' horrible Jim Carrey version in B.F. or B.S. as I like to call it. Much more serious. I would love it if he planeted bombs all underneath Gotham and but Batman and the G.C.P.D. to the test to solve riddles or the major buildings will be blown up. I like the idea of a kind of Dennis Hopper from Speed idea... do something a specific way or DIE. And I want Billy Crudup to play him.

Doing Riddler manips will be more complicated than the ones we have been doing with Ledger/Joker.

For one thing, the hat will probably have to be made from scratch. Since whoever is going to play the Riddler probably hasn't walked around in such a hat until the Riddler role is given to him. Know what I mean? We usually go off production photos of the certain actor for the manips.

Ever seen Die Hard 3? The whole idea is taken.

I don't see Carell. Sorry.

Riddler never killed in the comics. Because he knew that he would be caught, he didn't think it was worth it. But I would like to see something resembling TAS in the suit and intelligence. While I don't think Carrey was so bad, since he's unpopular, my next choice would be Kelsey Grammer (Paul Giamatti is Hatter).

 

[Top_Hatter]

My idea is plain and simple: Edward Nygma is a master criminal with a superiority factor; his enormous IQ causes him to believe everyone else on the planet is his intellectual inferior. He cracks codes and passwords and such then steals valuable items and/or information that he sells to the highest bidder, whether it's a pearl necklace or global defence missile codes, he just gets what he can trade for money. As for appearance I'm reckoning the Jim Lee look from Hush, and maybe played by Alessandro Nivola.

 

[COMPO]

i think riddler should find out Batman's secret identity. And Batman tricks him inot not telling anyone, like he did in the comics by syaing: "what good's a riddle if everyone knows the answer?"

 

[Chris Wallace]

Maybe.

intelligent-looking - check (he's actually Oxford-educated)

egotistical-looking - check

close to Bruce's age - check


i think the Riddler should be a pampered rich kid who lends his brain power to criminal enterprise out of boredom/for the challenge. maybe the crimes would, at first glance, be random but always add up to a bigger picture. and he would leave the riddles, of course. i just think they should play him sort of like Dorian Gray from League of Extraordinary Gentleman. i think Hugh could pull it off, effortlessly. plus, i think he'd look good opposite Bale. that said, i don't think the Riddler should be the main villain; much like Scarecrow wasn't. oh and he would deduce Batman's secret identity halfway through and that's when the crimes would start to become a message to Bruce and Batman.

It's a good twist although I would have a hard time believing a guy with that state of mind would wear the classic riddler (?'s) outfit. We need to see him.

Not that I want to see the Riddler make an appearance in Nolan's movies at this point, but if he ever did I would love to see him portrayed how he was in Batman #452-454 (in which he actually did kill!) Here's what I mean:

Personally, him being more serious is a lot scarier than how people seem to know him, and if they did it in the vein of Seven or Saw I think it'd be great.

I like look of TAS Riddler:

It only has one question mark on his tie unlike Batman Forever....

I agree, except I think his suit should be all black, and he should wear sunglasses instead of those little dinky masks. Bright green is too campy.

 

[Invisiboy]

opinion change: If it's scary you want, then instead of a serial killer (which would seem a tad Carrey-ish on screen), how about a surprise villain? On the outside, he's a well-behaved, Oxford-educated young adult, but he has a psychopath side that you don't see until it's too late. It's how all the villains should be played in the franchise because it makes even Mickey Mouse seem evil.

in what way does serial killer make you think of jim carrey?

Maybe a serial killer could kill him?
