Who would make the best Riddler?

[DeleteMe1112311]

In my personal opinion, I think Heath Ledger was the best Joker in the Batman series but it leaves me wondering...

Who will play the Riddler?

After much thought, I finally came to the conclusion that I would love nothing more to see Hugh Laurie as the riddler. I can only imagine how amazing his performance would be. Hugh Laurie already has a real accent to match the Riddlers and the way that he delivers lines fits perfectly into the Riddler's character.

(Lets hope nobody else has posted this, I searched around myself with no results but it seems as though someone else has to look before it'll turn up...)

Tom Sizemore.

Tom Sizemore.

Really? I honestly hope your joking but each to his own I suppose. I just can't see it myself...How bout providing some defense for him? After watching him a couple times I don't really know him that well but I feel that I have a basic understanding of how he acts and it just doesn't seem fit for the riddler.

Oh. I was joking. I was thinking of a game show host. It would make sense. But a question based game show.

If it's the current Riddler from the comics, then I'd have to say : Timothy Oliphant. He can do comedy, but can also do the very serious, straight-laced genius that would be needed for Edward Nygma.

Well, all I ask is that Jim Carey (sp?) not be brought back to do this Riddler.

Henchmen: Hey, riddler. you look different.

Riddler: I just had a sex change. That's all.

 

[Archereus]

you know what, they should chose me as the riddler, i would do him so eprfect your eyes balls would fall out

Hey Carey's Riddler was entertaining. In that particular train wreck of a movie a canonical Riddle would have been a little out of place, don't you think?

But as for a Riddler in a GOOD movie... we need some one who can present hubris, genius, anger but also a sort've "fun" when it comes to the puzzles themselves. I'm going to go with either Neil Patrick Harris (So I watched Dr. Horrible recently, shoot me) or maybe Sean William Scott. I figure both of those guys are dying for a serious role, they both talk quickly but clearly for the riddles themselves, both have a lot of acting experience and both could dye their hair the necessary orange.

They're already trying to bring Johnny Depp in to play him. I think that's a perfect idea.
And apparently Phillip Seymour Hoffman might play the penguin XD

That's what I meant. Carey would be way out of place in this new grimdark Batman.

Goddamnit Hollywood. What is up with you and Johnny Depp? I actually like a couple Johnny Depp Movies, there's nothing wrong with the guy as an actor but stop trying to Shoe-horn himin every time you have a character who isn't completely sane! Other actors are capable of showing emotional imbalance you idiots!

So he looks good in eye shadow! Fine! So his eyes bulge from his head a bit, fine! Maybe he's equipped to play 80% of over the top crazy people movies.

Mark my words though, he is wrong for the Riddler. He'll screw it up. Riddler is a character that genuinely delights in playing games with the people catching him, he's a character grounded in arrogance. Believe me, that's different than playing homicidal maniac. It's also different from playing a pirate full of bravado. I realize Depp as other roles and taken to them well but I just can't see him here.

 

[gibboss28]

I'm gonna say Jim Carey

 

[Droshi]

You will all call me an idiot probably, but I honestly feel like Jack Black could drop the weight like he did in Envy (he can get skinny) and take the role seriously enough to make a great Riddler.

Before you bash me, imagine JB in a role where he ISN'T playing his typecast character, but instead is just an outer shell for an insane personality like the Riddler. He's got the face for sure.

 

[Sylocat]

Johnny Depp is always a good choice (the man's a genius), but I latched onto that rumor a while back that they were trying to get David Tennant to do it.

Now THAT would have been awesome.

 

[Droshi]

Crispin Glover would be great, too.

 

[axia777]

This is a good question as the next Batman villain is has not been determined. I liek the idea of Crispin Glover. He is wacky enough and has the acting chops to pull of the madness. That and Depp is just to over used for me these days. I still like him, but I am tired of seeing him. Personally though I hope the next villain is Bane. 'The Fall of the Dark Knight' concept would kick ass.

Tom Sizemore.

I hope this is a joke.
