Please. Don't start that discussion with me. Continue with your riddler talk.

The Batman movies don't need to go down the same route of the Spider-man movies by having every main villain exactly the same.

I have never heard that about Ledger but I can believe it... The character Alex can influence in so many ways... Seriously who wouldn't like a little Beethoven mixed with a little ultra-violence...

Which villain would you like to see Batman go up against next and who would you have play the role. Just curious to see what others have in mind.

That makes no sense. Say things to yourself before typing them.

The thread title implies that this casting is somehow more than speculation, and the conversation here seems to assume the same. Given the lack of sources, it's possible some might be confused. But if you want to discuss hypotheticals, please, don't let my "bitching" spoil your fun.

How? To some people, certain actors are a no brainer for certain charcters. When they look at them, they say '' he is so and so''. He would be killer. Thats what I meant. When I look at Hall, I see the Riddler.

Imagination is not reality. Again, think things through.

I only said bitchin because how it flowed onto the keyboard (fiction, opinion, bitchin, kitchen, ditchin, pissin, kissin, wishin... yeah I should probably stop there...)

Sorry if I offended you. But yes this is all pretty much hypothetical jib jab. I will edit the first post to reflect that.

Who is confused with reality? I know this is not a confirmed thing. I said he would be perfect. Nevermind.

I know what you mean but honestly there is always someone better. Right now I think Hall is perfect for the role but there are so many talented people out there someone may convince me otherwise.

Yeah no dont get me wrong, of course there is always someone better. For every great movie I think someone else could have been 10x better in it. Known or unknown. I like Hall for the role but I am i no means implying he is the ONLY guy that can do it.

I loved Jim Carrey in that movie... But that is probably because I was in 5th grade at the time... Now I think the movie is mediocre at best. Jones was awesome though...

Really, god I hated it. Although, I wouldnt count Carrey out . I think he could pull of a great darker Riddler. Those were the writers, not carrey. Carrey def has a dark side.

No, no. You said he IS the Riddler. There's a difference.

I was 11 at the time so a breathtaking performance wasn't nearly as important as making me laugh. Jim Carrey was on fire at the time (Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, In Living Color). I thought the guy was hilarious, he still is, but looking back now I don't like how Joel Schumacher left a nasty mark on the Batman franchise.

No, no. What I meant was he is the only actor I can see as of right now that could play him. So yes to me he ''is'' the Riddler. But I know he actually is not. Nor is he signed on to play him in the next movie. Thanks for clearing that up.

*Spitfire* · 03-03-2010, 04:21 AM

Hall is awesome on Dexter but he only knows how to play one character. I saw parts of "Gamer" and he was laughably bad. Problem is he's not a movie actor he's a TV guy. They will cast someone no one thinks fits and they will be perfect I'm sure. People threw a fit about Keaton as Batman, Bale as Batman, Ledger as Joker, Daniel Craig as James Bond and when everyone saw the movies they shut up.

I like Jim Carrey's Riddler... *hides*

*ToTheNines* · 08-10-2010, 08:47 PM

So apparently everyone's clamoring for someone from Inception to take this role, Joseph Gordon-Levit certainly looks the part.

I really don't understand why there's so much Riddler-hype though... I mean, no one really likes him. Sure he's got good TAS episodes and comic issues, but no one really knows about them. The only thing people know about The Riddler is "Forever" and Frank Gorshin.

Anyways, I'm thinking Nolan is going to use some villains that haven't been in movies yet. I think Hush could be awesome, but I'm sure any character they utilize will be great.

*Spitfire* · 08-10-2010, 09:28 PM

I would love to see Black Mask in a Nolan movie. Hush could work, as a final send off he could work quite well. Since he's the ultimate anti-Batman and knows everything about him. Nolan did say he only wanted to do 3 movies. Villains need to be characters without powers or deformities. Like Cat Woman, Black Mask, Hush, Riddler, Penguin*He could sorta work but he's too goofy IMO*, or Max Zeus. There's more but they could all work in one way or another.

Riddler has potential to be a really dark character and that's why people want him to be in the movie so bad.
