Ahaha, brilliant!

I know dawg. I'm da man up in dis b!tch.

Wow... Just, wow... Ahaha!

Anyhoe, back on topic, I'd have to agree with Neo darkhalen, Tannant seems pretty cool for this role.

I just can't see David Tennant as the Riddler... 😖

I think he ticks the boxes as the Riddler.

I don't watch Doctor Who so I can't you how he would look.

Can this guy act outside of a tv show?

I'll check some of those out.

David as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. That's probably his most famous role that North America have seen out side of British Broadcasting and Dr Who.

Agreed, thats the only fault really.

To be honest, I had to google "David Tennant" to know who he is lol.

I've seen him before but I never knew his name lol. AND he does look strikingly similar to the Riddler!!

Not trashing Jake Gyllenhaal in anyway, but Tennant seems a much better choice than Jake.

From the ridiculous to the sublime, the latest casting rumor...

Another WTF moment...

"seeing as how Batman has made short work of the cops in the past, they would need help catching him. The Mayor (or perhaps Boss Rupert Thorne) could demand that they bring in a hired gun to help get the job done. Enter the Riddler, who is currently portrayed in the comics as a good bad guy who helps the cops crack cases. He possesses a superior intellect and proves it by solving mysteries.

The trick with the Riddler is not portraying him as a Joker wannabe or a garish buffoon. By making him Batman's intellectual equivalent and a possible replacement hero for the city, he becomes more of a threat to Batman. What if Edward Nygma is brought in to find out who Batman really is and help the cops get him, but he secretly has his own nefarious agenda"

i dunno bout you guys but i think itll be interesting if they have something like this in the next one, the mob hired a freak, and its only natural for the cops and stuff to get one right? I also am going to cast Edward N[b]igmaorton [/B]

not portraying the Riddler as a Joker ripoff would be easy with Ledger's Joker as a jumping point. Ledger's Joker was a self-professed agent of chaos, where the Riddler is meticulous planning and order, control incarnate.

It would make for an interesting dichotomy betwen the two films.

I would simply love to see a really sadistic Riddler. Each time Batman or anyone solves one of his puzzles, he comes up with something even worse and more sadistic.

I like that he & the Joker wear the same colors but are completely different.

To be honest, it really depends on which version of the Riddler you see. In a few comics and also in Batman Forever and the '60s TV series, Riddler is pretty much the Joker who gives riddles rather than announces openly what his crime will be. With portrayals of Nygma, he is indeed completely different. I'm positive whatever Nolan would do with the character, he'd be something completely new- different from any previous portrayals of either the Riddler, or the Joker.

The Riddler could certainly work in Nolan's universe. Wouldn't mind him at all.

The only time he comes off as being similar to the Joker is when you have people like Schumacher who don't know how to handle the character. In Nolan's case, I'm sure we'd get a Riddler that dishes out some very sadistic riddles and would indeed be a big threat for Batman.
