I guess I can see your point, Matt, but Leo has shown he can do serious, dark, psychotic characters really well (see Shutter Island for the best recent example, or The Aviator for a less dark version), and given it's still the Nolanverse series at the moment I can't see the Riddler being the same 'happy-crazy', "Riddle Me This" type he was in the comics or when he was played by Jim Carrey. Im quite a big fan of Johnny Depp too, and I know he's done darker characters really well too (From Hell and Sweeney Todd come to mind), but those are mainly comic roles to a degree as well, especially in the latter. I can't see him really fitting this role. But Leo Di Caprio could pull this off. I say, give him a chance, if the producers have him in mind for the role. Remember, when Heath Ledger was announced as the Joker I think people were just as skeptical, yet he pulled it off amazingly well (regardless of the hype after he died, I saw the film afterwards and his performance was outstanding regardless of the hype).

As far as Megan Fox, Cher and Angelina Jolie? Forget about it. I don't particularly want any of them involved anyway, and none of them save Jolie could really pull off Catwoman that well. And to be honest, I'm starting to get tired of her now, personally (good actress, but even so...).

I would not mind seeing Kate Beckinsale as Catwoman.

What American Cinema needs is more Kate Beckinsale in skintight latex/vinyl outfits.

*nods sagely*

As has been said, considering what Nolan's done with Ledger as the Joker, anything's possible if you give him a good actor. So I'm hopeful for Depp or DiCaprio. More so Depp, I mean I love Leo, but I've seen him in too many movies lately... personally, I mean. But by the time it's released, I'll be delighted with either them or David Tennant.

I'm not very hopeful about Catwoman, though... most of those female actors don't look good. Certainly not up to Nolan's par, I think. Knowing Nolan he'll do it right, though.

I would say Bane is the way to go, not necessarily as the brains, but definitely as a major villian. You get the fanservice, and a very credible threat for the film-only Batfans. Plus, pick your enormous lunk because frankly, the less he says/tries to act, the better.

If Leo took some acting lessons (I'm not saying he can't act, but he'll need to improve vastly to pull of the riddler.) Then I could see that happening. And out of the ladies listed, the only one I would want to see play Cat Woman is Kate Beckinsale. Even then, she may be pushing it. Nolan hasn't messed up thus far, so the ball is in his court until he does.

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.
Yeah! Screw the Riddler, I want Black mask! Barring that I will accept Bane, Harley Quin or Mr Freeze!

I'm taking all of this pure rumor but Depp as the Riddler could work as long as hes not just being the Mad Hatter. I don't think DiCaprio has the right look for the Riddler but hes a good actor nonetheless.

If they do the Riddler I hope to god they don't try to replace the Joker. I hope they do something where the Riddler isn't shown in person in the promotional material and 3/4 of the movie, just have his riddles there and build the suspense ^^

As for the actor, I heard Joseph Gordon Lewitt somewhere, that would be perfect!

Shit, why dont they give up on the fucking riddler? HE SUCKS AS A VILLAIN. I mean really, what is the point of leaving clues to your next crime? You just give the police/batman another way to find out when/where/how about your crime. Its retarded.

That being said, I could see Depp or Leo, none of the rest. Catwoman should just not be here, but too late for that. I still say they should have ended the franchise after the last one, because there is no way anybody could possibly live up to Ledgers precedent. HE was the best, the others are going to try, and they are going to fail. Doesnt mean it wont be a good movie, it just wont seem that good because we will all compare it to TDK.

Don't know about their sources. Cher as a possible catwoman? Maybe 30 years ago. Sounds a lot like trollin.

Hmmm I thought I saw a poster with David Tennenant as the Riddler? Now im confused but David Tennenant should play him as a crazy evil Docter(Docter Who)I think it would work really well.
