as action packed the dark knight was i personally feel that they should leave it be. but with all the rumors of the riddler in the third film what better way for someone to play riddler other than anthony hopkins. he played the cannibal doctor lecter in 1991's silence of the lambs. if the riddler is a narsasist (spc) than he can pull it off.
B) Wouldn't it be more interesting to see a different actor in such a role, rather than having Hopkins or anyone else just repeat a previous role?
C) HUH!?
And as for the suggestion of using a stuntman and then imposing Hopkins' face over the top... well...
Would you believe that a guy looking like Anthiny Hopkins could really do much in the way of stunts? That'd be realistic, sure...
Next, someone's actually going to suggest Cher really would be a good Catwoman!

May I suggest people stop making threads for every ****ing casting idea for Batman 3? It's that, or we end up with the forum clogged up with multiple threads made by morons who think Helen Mirren should play Catwoman, Jim Carrey deserves a second shot as the Riddler and that the Rock will be Bane.
Actually, the last one was too accurate to be funny...
EDIT:
Try using this thread, maybe, for new suggestions. Otherwise I'm gonna kill someone. And as I don't know anyone on KMC in real life, it'll probably be myself, which I'm sure you'll all appreciate would be a terrible loss for the World.
I apologise. I wasn't really directing my rant at you specifically, and I wasn't calling you a moron. It's just pretty damn irritating finding a new thread every few hours suggesting a different actor for the Riddler.
It certainly wasn't an attack aimed at you, and I'm sorry if it came across that way. My mind is certainly checked, though I have no idea what that's meant to mean...

One major difference between Chris Lee's abilities in SW was that his character lived in a fantasy universe with super human powers. Dark Knight lives in a more realistic universe where 70 year olds don't jump around and move easily. Plus, the Riddler should not be old enough to be Batman's grandfather even if he can realistically move around easily.

In addition to all the reasons people have already listed as to why Hopkins is a terrible choice, why would an 80 year old suddenly turn to a life of crime and adopt the persona of the Riddler?
This thread=fail.
These Batman forums are extremely cluttered; I think a Mod needs to do some maintenance and start merging/deleting a lot of these threads.
I thought Almighty Bauer was playing along with your joke, as to sarcastically say "Dang, too bad Eckhart already played him, we could have had Tommy Lee Jones!"
