SuperBatman Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) He was in Ocean's 12 and the Black Swan.If Michael C. hall wasn't playing a News Anchor I so could see him playing the Riddler. Edited December 31, 2011 by SuperBatman
The Dark Alfred Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 It would be a boring choice after The Joker. Depp would be the worst option. I'm glad Nolan went for Bane.
DAR Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Not a lot of people knew much about Scarecrow or Ra's Al Guhl and that turned out fine.
DAR Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 As for who could have played the Riddler I would have loved to see DiCaprio play it.
Letsuseournoggin Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 As for who could have played the Riddler I would have loved to see DiCaprio play it.Vincent Cassell is definitely an interesting choice. JGL could've flexed his acting chops for the role too. BUT I'm going to have to vote for Gosling. I think he would've done the role justice and really transformed for the role.
cheesypoofs Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 If they were gonna use a villain from an older film, I would've preferred The Riddler.
Cedarpoint1111 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Michael C. Hall would be perfect. A few people mentioned him already I think. Either way, I am glad they didn't go with Riddler. He is too similar to the Joker.For the next Batman movie (after TDKR) I would definitely like to see the Riddler though.
Jay Beezy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I just read Michael C. Hall and initially thought he was in TDK as that TV news reporter, then I remembered that was Anthony Michael Hall from the Breakfast Club.As for my pick for the Riddler, since TDK, I always thought of Guy Pearce, who was in Nolan's Memento. Anyway, Nolan could have created a Riddler who wasn't necessarily the psycho that the Joker was, but moreso a villain who was superior to Batman intellectually like Bane is superior to Batman physically.Whatever film Nolan makes next, I'd like to see him unite the stars of most of his films starting from Memento. Like have a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Guy Pearce, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, etc.
cheesypoofs Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I would like a good Mr. Freeze. But I understand that wouldn't fit in Nolan's universe.
fishstick Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 As for who could have played the Riddler I would have loved to see DiCaprio play it.Actually, that`s what WB suggested to Nolan. And judging by Django trailer, he would`ve been terrific.
JackO Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I think it would have everyone comparing him to Ledger and it would be worse since they would kind of similar villains. That is a no win situation.
junkshop36 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I would like a good Mr. Freeze. But I understand that wouldn't fit in Nolan's universe.Nolan won't be in charge anymore after this so, you never know. Honestly, I don't think that Mr. Freeze would ever really work unless it was more like Burton's version of Batman.At some point they'll have the Joker again. They could probably do the Penguin if they never actually call him the Penguin, LOL. Just use his real name, Chester Cobblepot.I think the Riddler would be a good villain to go with the next time around.
Darth Homer Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 That's really who Nolan should've went with for this final installment.. They could've made the RIDDLER out to be more like the ZODIAC killer set in Gotham City and it would work well with Nolan's insistent on everything being so damn REAL, but instead, you Batfans get BANE: An unitelligable villain you can barely make out when he speaks.. Agreed. Riddler as a John Doe type serial killer leaving clues for the police would have been awesome, and would have allowed Batman to go into full on detective mode for a change. I honestly think that the choice of Bane as a villain has hurt TDKR at the BO more than the lack of Joker, shooting tragedy or anything else.
pmoore Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The serial killer route would be very cool for... JGL as Robin. It would be more fitting for him than Batman, considering Robin's detective background.
Impact Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 Actually, that`s what WB suggested to Nolan. And judging by Django trailer, he would`ve been terrific.Yeah I read about that a month ago where they had a article about the original choice WB wanted.Funny since I thought he would of been good in it also.
Jay Beezy Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Agreed. Riddler as a John Doe type serial killer leaving clues for the police would have been awesome, and would have allowed Batman to go into full on detective mode for a change. I honestly think that the choice of Bane as a villain has hurt TDKR at the BO more than the lack of Joker, shooting tragedy or anything else.I really doubt Bane is the primary reason for the underwhelming box office.
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 If they do go with The Riddler for Batman, I hope they still keep it dark, gritty and most importantly, REAL.
