Because I have never heard of anybody really liking Jim Carrey as Riddler. I'm not saying it was wrong of people to vote for him, I was just surprised. Kind of like how I am now surprised to see 2 votes for him 😉

That isnt true. Ledger looks more like joker than devito as penguin. I would say that ledger wasnt exactly as the joker, but enough close. I mean: tall, skynny, young, etc. He was very close.

In the other hand, devito didnt look as penguin. Too fat, three fingers i the hands, the blood from his nose thing, long hair, white makeup like a ghost, the costume was different , etc. He only looks as the penguin because long nose, the umbrella and the monocule.

Um... Ledger's Joker was a pretty big deviation from the comics Joker...

Neither looks particularly like their comics counterparts, but at least you can recognize them as Joker and Penguin, right?

Deviation in film is fine... I hate how some people make it out to be the end of the world when Joker has black circles under his eyes and Penguin has flippers...

The truth is that no villains in the Batman films look identical to their comic book counterparts. I'd say Catwoman was probably closest, but even that wasn't an exact replica of the comic character. Honestly, why should they look exactly the same? If the Joker looked like he did in the Long Halloween, it would be ridiculous. It doesn't mean Ledger wasn't great.
For God's sake, Parker, please end this vendetta. 🙄
I'm no fan of the Burton/ Schumacher films, but still...

First, im not mr parker. If you are talking with me, im not Mr parker, call me for my name.

Second, agree, no villains in batman films looked identical as the comic counterparts, but that wasnt what i was saying. I said that ledger's joker looked more as the comics joker than devito's penguin. Neither is exact and indentical, but Ledger was closer mehanwhile devito looked nothing as penguin except a few details.

But yes, from alll of them, maybe michelle's catwoman when she is in costume(because the blond hair) and maybe Neeson's ra's .

Neeson didn't look much like Ra's. He was great, but he was hardly the spitting image of the comic character. He didn't exactly wear a green cloak or whatever.

Oops. My bad. 😐

The facial features were almost uncanny in likeness.

Dude, stop being an ass.

Mr. Freeze for one simple reason.

*In Shwarzeneggar manner* "Chill out!"

😐

Seriously, that single line brought me more lulz than anything ever, and no Batman villain can top that.

I'm watching a 1966 episode of Batman right now(which is still fan-flippin'-tastic), and Frank Gorshin is as good as the Riddler as I remember! I mean, holy crud can he act like a riddle-crazy, power hungry, mood-swinging psychopath!

Gorshin was good for the '60s series, but a Riddler like that would honestly be pretty awful in the 21st century. However, he was probably my favourite of the villains in the '60s series.

Not if you change the suit and toned him down JUST a little.

The 1966 show is still as awesome as ever. The casting is perfect. Only the great Vincent Price could make a character as idiotic as Egghead awesome.

😆 I've never seen Egghead before, so I looked it up on youtube and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F825cdwotdM

Egghead's the shit!

Scarecrow is bad ass but he is always put on the back burner

How Carreys Riddler has more votes than DeVitos penquin I'll never know

^ Agreed. I hear many complaints about DeVito's Penguin, but I thought it was really cool.
