Justin Timberlake wants to play The Riddler in Batman/Superman movie

While I doubt it'll ever happen, I'm really not surprised so many people want The Riddler in the next Batman film. If I remember correctly didn't people want The Riddler in the last Nolan film before we knew about Bane and Catwoman?

Could get behind this. Timberlake is a decent actor.

There's most likely going to be at least one Batman villain in the new movie too.

I think the reason why so many people want Riddler is because he and Lex Luthor would work well together. Both are incredibly intelligent and could scheme together toward their own ends.

Eh. I'm neutral on Riddler but I can't stand Timberlake.

I don't mind Timberlake. I don't mind The Riddler, but I'm not to sure about Timberlake as Riddler.

They should honestly give Jim Carey another shot at this, but get him to play it straight. He's unhinged, and a great actor to boot.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did get him involved. I'd rather see Crispin Glover as the Mad Hatter. Fund it.

admittedly, he is a pretty good voice actor

I think it would be neat to see Justin play a villain as it's something we haven't really seen from him, and I think he could pull it off, especially since he's a fan of The Riddler.

Jim Carrey's Riddler was the only redeeming part of Batman Forever. That and Nicole Kidman who was absolutely stunning in that movie.

Not sure if Timberlake has teh chops for it. But im sure since affleck has final approval of the script he'll be more involved with everything unofficially. it could work. "In Time" was a good movie.

I hated Carrey's Riddler. It wasn't just over-the-top, it was over the freakin' moon. Thus literally everyone in "Batman and Robin" followed his lead from "Forever" and put on a horrendous display of over-acting. His take was also oddly homo-erotic, which I'm sure was entirely because of the director.

As a kid I was excited to see both Riddler and Jim Carrey's take on it (although I was annoyed how they rewrote the entire script around just him and paid him a bunch more money than anyone else got). In the end I just didn't care for it. The character itself is already a bit too cheesy to work anywhere but the comics and the Adam West show; taking the 60s portrayal and turning it up to 11 didn't thrill me.

I'd be up for a more grounded, less silly and slightly more sinister take on the character, though. I do enjoy the character, but the stories where he's handled to full potential are few.

A Riddler like the one in Arkham City would work for me.

^ If he can pull off Jigsaw Riddler, I'm fine with that.

I'd be cool with seeing Riddler. And he seems like a cool villain to team up with Luthor. As for Timberlake, I have no idea. I haven't really seen him act.

I don't know that I even am in any hurry to see the Riddler on the big screen again.

And no, Jim Carrey's Riddler was ghastly. As was every aspect of both Schumacher movies.

I think The Riddler would be perfect, even if it's just a cameo thing in Gotham. Of course, I would like to see a darker take on Riddler, like in Arkham City. And no to Justin, nothing against him, just no. Other than that, I think it'll be kind of lame to have him team with Luthor. I'd still rather see Metallo while Luthor works behind the scenes.

Not gonna lie, if nothing else was right about either movie, I thought the Robin costume in Forever was as good as could possibly be done on film. That's the *one* thing I liked from the start and still like. You can scrap the rest of both of 'em, though.

I've always thought they should go with the Tim Drake Red Robin costume if Robin ever makes a big screen appearance again.

Also, Batman Forever was fun and way the **** better that Batman Returns. Bleh.
