You know how Riddler should act? Like David Caruso in Jade.


On a serious note, I don't remember Riddler in TLH. Can anyone refresh my mind?

Thanks a lot, man. You saved me half my wallet. And believe me when I say I'd buy a book just for two pages.

Riddler as a bumbling drunk? Riot.

Well, his part's a bit bigger than two pages, actually. He's in most of issue 9, playing a significant role in that part of the story, and resurfaces in issue 11.

But really, if you have the money, I'd highly recommen getting "The Long Halloween" anyway. One of the greatest Batman stories ever told.

I got it from the library about a year ago. And I have to agree with you on it being one of the greatest.

They would kick my arse, then write a book about me, a'la Joan Crawford


Plus, I gotta be nice to them. They're the ones who are paying for my care when I get older lol

Very intelligent, ruthless, and calculating like in TAS.

Are we talking about Riddler or donk's parenting here?

My kids would kick the Riddlers ass, scare the **** outta the Joker, and make Batman a mumbling idiot.

No joke!

Riddler should be as realistic as possible.

I wouldn't consider the White Fresh Prince of Bel-Air too believable for the Riddler.

 

[Slipping_Halo]

David Hyde Pierce is someone I never considered but would be great. The top of my list is still Edward Norton and Jude Law, though I can see Anthony Michael Hall doing it.

The Riddler and the Joker are my favorite Batman villains, and when I say those two together I mean the incarnations where one isn't a cheap knock-off of the other. I like the cool, calculating Riddler like the one in the animated series. He's one hell of an interesting villain and he can really have some depth to him besides his silly gimmick if given the chance.

Also, I really find most villains would fit perfectly into Nolan's world. With Scarecrow's fear gas and hallucinations and the mask sans the straw outfit, Ra's Al Ghul's hints of immortality, the Joker's whole spiel as well as Two-Face around the corner, I don't see why others wouldn't fit perfectly into the world Nolan's created. Catwoman is a cinch. The Penguin could be a physically deformed guy they call that because he sort of (and I mean sort of) looks like one-there are guys I know given nicknames because they resemble things like that. The Riddler doesn't have to wear the spandex with the question marks all over it. As a matter of fact, the animated series outfit seems like something Nolan could live with, and so could I. It's not so outlandish that it breaks the tone but it's also VERY Riddler. A question mark tie is good enough for me.

THIS is the most amazing Riddler EVER. I mean like, WOW!!!

I am too lazy right now to actually read all the rest of the posts so I don't know how other people perceive Riddler. First I would like it if they don't actually have many scenes with the riddler just mostly his Riddles. That keeps him kind of a mystery when it comes to personality. I see the riddler like a serial bomber or a serial killer, depends on how you want him to be. Really dark and sinister or somewhat evil. I see him sending Riddles to the Police Department and they are clues to his crimes. As for OCD, I can see it starting with he sends the riddles to the department with the thought nobody could solve them. Then Batman is on the scene and he starts solving them, being a fearful kind of guy he doesn't want to be caught, so he tries to stop leaving clues but is unable to since he is constantly trying to prove he is smarter then batman

 

[turtlefocker]

I think Riddler would fit nicely as a counterweight to the completely insane theatrical Joker

 

[Comic Book Boy]

Not all the villians can be A-list tough guys, we need a few wimps to balance it out

I agree. Brains over brawn here.

 

[fletch1076]

If what we are hearing is true and farmer Ted is playing the Riddler. How do you think this is going to work in the plot. Does anyone see him as an associate with the Joker, Two-Face, or Scarecrow? Or is he on his own and just merly introduced ala Dr. Conners. How much screen time do you think he will have? Post some ideas and thoughts.

 

[Juanigi]

I'd rather not

 

[Axtech]

If anything we might see Nygma, but I doubt we'll be seeing the Riddler just yet...

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Is this thread title considered a infringement of the new spoiler policy?

 

[Luchastyle]

i don't think it's a spoiler in the title, since it's all speculation. that's like saying "how will catwoman play into this movie?" although, if it were true, then i guess it is a spoiler...but if the original poster is just speculating then it's not...but if he claims to be speculating but actually knows then i guess it's a spoiler...but if he didn't know then he found after having posted this, it's a spoiler after the fact...:head explodes:

I think if nygma is in the movie he will be used like doc conners. he will be a character who is there just so you know he will be used eventually. it'll help build his character up and he'll likely show some signs of his riddler personality. i couldnt imagine them doing anything more than that because this movie is stacked as it is.
