Paul Dano is Edward Nashton aka "The Riddler"

[X Knight]

from the moment this film was announced, and it became apparent they were going for younger, early career Batman, I always felt Riddler would be the perfect choice for villain. Especially if they want to highlight the detective aspect of Batman.

I'm sooooo pumped for this casting! I love Dano and I love that more people will search out his work because of this.

 

[Sawyer]

Wild that we've had three separate Joker castings since The Riddler was last on the big screen.

 

[Kane52630]

I remember the days when the Riddler was rumored to be the villain in The Dark Knight Rises.

Whatever gets them knockers on the big screen.

I like the cut of this man's jib.

 

[C Prometheus]

He's done this with Pattinson, Kravitz and now Dano, but not Wright. I wonder if that one isn't 100% locked down yet.

I think that’s because Wright opted to retweet a Batman-related tweet from Reeves after the news broke. Dude is almost certainly in for Gordon.

Also I am mad at myself for never bothering to think of this casting, because GOD, I love this pick. Dano is amazing in There Will Be Blood.

 

[Kane52630]

It would be some cool sh** if he picks a gif I made.

Tom Hardy is Hugo Strange
Joseph Gordon Levitt is Alberto Falcone

 

[Neno_Kos]

I could see this guy being Riddler. Good casting.

 

[Gee]

Get Elvis granddaughter as ivy and we good. Also, get Susan Sarandon in the cast too, I want to look at her bossoms on imax.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Spot-on casting, but you know that already. Carry on.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I still think Anthony Michael Hall would have been better.

 

[Iceman]

Excitement for this film is going up massively every day recently.

 

[Willi Berg]

Looking forward to seeing Dano go up against Pattinson, especially since the Riddler is reportedly the main villain.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Dano's probably going to steal every seen he's in.

 

[terry78]

I am actually pissed at myself for not thinking of this obvious casting beforehand. I'm slipping.

 

[Monochron]

An excellent choice.

Incidentally I truly believe Dano could have made the BvS version of Lex Luthor work.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Sounds interesting? Know anything about the writer / year of the story?

No, all I remember is that it was a one-shot that came out when Batman Forever came out. I know they did one on Two-Face as well that wasn’t as good.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Batman: Riddler and the Riddle Factory is what you're thinking of, I believe!

 

[Deck Rickard]

Batman: Riddler and the Riddle Factory is what you're thinking of, I believe!

Nice, thanks for having a better memory than I clearly do! That was a great story.

 

[Luigi]

Excellent choice. Far better than Jonah Hill.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Dano's probably going to steal every seen he's in.

Absolutely. He's a choice I didn't think of, and yet he's so brilliant.

 

[samsnee]

Finally, we get to see how Riddler put all those riddler trophies around Gotham.

I'm sure I saw the same tweet earlier today.
