Leonardo DiCaprio To Play The Riddler In Batman 3?

[Buizel91]

Well, well, well, it seems for the "Untitled Batman Movie" To be released in what appears to be 2012, Leonardo Is in talks with producers...to play a completely different character than any other he has played before...

The Riddler...One of Batmans most famous enemies.

"Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Cher and Kate Beckinsale have all been linked to the possible revival of feline femme fatale Catwoman, while Shia LaBeouf, Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy are also rumoured to be attached to the picture."

This was taken from one the articles...Dear lord...

Here is the source

Edit: Remembering this will be a Darker Riddler to the "Riddle me this" Riddler, I think it could turn out quite well. These movies have shown a Darker sides to all the characters. Joker is a prime example of this.

UPDATE: Just found this while searching for a Riddler Picture...has Jhonny Depp been confirmed for Riddler?

Just read this

?Producers are convinced that the role of The Riddler is perfect for Depp. Johnny?s a pro. He?ll be able to take direction and still make the character his own. And what better Penguin is there than Philip Seymour Hoffman??

It also seems the penguin has been confirmed...although this could be another rumour as well.

Please do not let anyone mentioned in this post be associated with this film, (barring Leo - but he's not who I'd cast as the riddler at all).

He could pull it off, he is quite a good actor...in my opinion anyway. it would show a completely different side to him.

Not many people would cast Heath Ledger as the Joker...but look how that turned out.

I thought some english actor had been cast as the riddler.

Johny Deep should be Riddler.
I HAVE SPOKEN!

Yes and tim burton should direct./Sarcasm

I'm sick of Johnny Depp, he seems to only be playing characters that you can be sure will molest a child if they get the chance.

I think if it was to be DiCaprio, it could turn out to be the same situation we had with Heath Ledger. Everyone groaned and grumbled that they were going to do a terrible job with The Joker, but the first time people saw footage of Heath Ledger in purple and green, they couldn't stop talking of how amazing it was.

Completely agree with this. i think we just need to wait and see how it turns out =)

The riddler is nuts, but dignified nuts. Knowing how he's played crazy in the past, I have a really hard time seeing Leo in the role, without having to re-envision how the riddler operates. He could do it, and I have have faith in Nolan, but he wouldn't be my pick.

Everyone else mentioned in the OP though, needs to fuck right off.

This.

Also, The Riddler? Surely, there are better villains left. I mean really? The Riddler? I can't express my distaste.

I, for one, hope that this information is a collection of lies and salamander slander.

I doubt he would be the main villain, they would need to cast someone else for the film as well...

I hope Killer Croc.

Jim Carrey Or GTFO

Bearing in mind that the Nolan interpretation of the Riddler is likely to be a far cry from "riddle me this, Batman" and green spandex covered in little question marks, I really think DiCaprio could pull it off. He's a very talented actor, and he's got the right sort of look.

And hey, if Heath Ledger could make such a convincing Joker, why not?

As said above i think this could be a Heath Ledger/Joker situation...everyone hated the idea, but turned out great.

I know just saying "This" is kinda cliche, but really, this is a /thread right here.

He would be good for The Riddler, since he always tries to confuse people in his movies anyway.

Nothing against Killer Croc, but I don't think I can see the guy as a leader of any kind of batman threatening gang. As a loner or a henchman, yes, but not something that could threaten Batman's core.

True i suppose, Mehh, Maybe Harley Quinn? getting revenge for Joker...that would be quite cool

Can't the third Batman film just be a live-action adaption of The Dark Knight Returns?

We could replace Christian Bale, whom I personally think makes an awful Batman[footnote]His Bruce Wayne is good, but not great[/footnote] with someone else without having to handwave it, we could include a Robin[footnote]Even though Robin would be female[/footnote], and it would be a plausible continuation of the ending from The Dark Knight, only slightly changing the script so it will seem like Batman retired after the death of Harvey Dent.

Because I honestly don't think they can make the third Batman film top the second one without taking it to new places. Sure, it might fall on its ass and fail, but I really prefer this idea, and I would love to see Nolan take some risks with this.

If anyone could make it happen in this day and age, it would be Christopher Nolan.

arnold should play riddler, because we all saw how well he did as mr. freeze
