Justin Timberlake has said that he wants to play Batman villain The Riddler.

The 'Take Back the Night' singer ruled out reuniting with his Runner, Runner co-star Ben Affleck to play Robin in the Man of Steel sequel, but admitted that he would be keen to portray a bad guy from the Dark Knight's rogue's gallery.

"Not a chance in hell. I ain't playing Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie," he told Fresh 102.7's Jim & Kim show.

"Now, a villain! I'll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funnily enough, is The Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain.

"The Riddler was like a sociopath. He was proper crazy. So if I'm gonna play crazy, I'm wanna play proper crazy."

The Riddler was previously played by Jim Carrey in 1995's Batman Forever.

Timberlake also voiced his support for new Batman star Affleck, who has come under fire from fans since his casting was announced last week.

"Ben Affleck as Batman, I like it," Timberlake said. "I worked with Ben last summer and I've seen his process. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker. I think he's an extreme talent so he could surprise a lot of people."

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?
