Paul Dano is Edward Nashton aka "The Riddler"

[TheSmoothKnight]

 

[Jekecy]

He’s so wimpy looking. He’s the perfect pretend punching bad for Robert Pattinson.

It’s the easy route to go for, but I hope they actually subvert expectations here ala Hush and have him as a real threat. Doesn’t have to be in this film, but definitely in the future. I wouldn’t want the character to carry on the punching bag image.

 

[Awest66]

I'm more than okay with this news.

 

[Predator jp]

ha, never thought of him for Riddler but he's perfect actually.

Lock every villain in the 1st and 2nd film at Arkham Asylum for a massive finale with Joker as main villain.

I fully expect the joker by the third film.

 

[Marvel united]

I'm

Excited as holy hell. This is going to be THE movie of 2021

 

[The Chris]

A casting so perfect that I'm mad i never thought of it myself.

[Lasirius]

On board! Yes.

 

[Schlosser85]

He seems like a better fit for the part than Jonah Hill.

 

[Broseph44]

Excellent news. This cast is really shaping up very nicely

 

[THE WOLF]

 

[Black Narcissus]

What a great cast, it only makes me more bummed about Joaquin not being a part of this.

 

[Sawyer]

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

 

[terry78]

I figured wright is lucious Fox if he wasn't Gordon.

 

[Schlosser85]

I figured wright is lucious Fox.

Wright is supposedly Gordon.

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.

The redhead from fury road.

Man, given how awesome Dano was in the preacher scenes in There Will Be Blood, I really hope they adapt parts of that one comic where Riddler was hosting an underground game show in which he publicly destroyed people. I think the story was just called "The Riddler" and it was one of the darkest, best takes on the character, IMO. And I think Dano could be amazing if he's used in that capacity.

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