Honestly? Jack Nicholson. I have a feeling that he'd make a better Riddler than Joker, as that's the sort of vibe I got from him while watching Batman.
Who would you cast as The Riddler in the next Batman movie?

As been said, David Tennant has got the energy and eccentricity to pull off such a character in my eyes.
Although i'd much prefer a different villain; there are a veritable heap of brilliant Batman Villains they can introduce, such as Black Mask, Harley Quinn, Hush. [sub]Oh god not Clayface please[/sub]
I do applaud Nolan's choice of villains so far though; he managed to use both of my favourite ones in Batman Begins - Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow.

I'm every excited about Depp as the Riddler and I definitely think he could pull it off. However...I still maintain that Jonathon Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, Match Point, and Velvet Goldmine) would be an excellent choice. I always pictured him in the role (assuming it's done seriously this time) for some reason.
the Real question here is, Do you think the Riddler can actually be done well in Batman 3?
i have a difficult time of seeing the Riddler being done well, he just seems like such an obsurd character,
but, the new batman movies have pleasantly surprised me before, so who knows

I would go for a relative/completely unknown, because Riddler's an enigma. Or David Tennant, he might be able to do it... Lookswise anyway, but I HATE HATE HATE him as Dr Who. Nobody can match the awesomeness of Christopher Eccleston. NOBODY.
Riddler aside, Phillip Seymore Hoffman HAS to be The Penguin.

hmmm an interseting question what about philip seeymour hoffman as the riddler as he can play serious villans (MI3) and can play funny roles ( along came polly and the boat that rocked)
If it is going to be camp like the other film with the riddler why not russel brand

Stephen Fry is the best suggestion I've heard so far, although Depp and Tennant are also good.
How about Sacha Baron Cohen? He could portray the same condescending intellect as Stephen Fry, but would add a young energy manifesting itself in a truly sharp, sadistic manner.
OR, Rob McElhenney (Mac from Sunny in Philly)...actually any of them would be great as the Riddler...
No wait!!!!! GARY OLDMAN! He could play friggin' Riddler, or whatever (he's Gary Oldman!).
OH! And Glen Howerton (Dennis in Sunny in Philly) would be a kickass Zsasz. Or Billy Zane as Zsasz, also good. Or Jason Statham. Or Ed Norton.
Wait! Ben Foster (Alpha Dog and 30 Days of Night) would be perfect as Zsasz.
Michael Blaiklock (Secret Girlfriend) would be a good Penguin or Puppet Master.
John Malkovich as Mr. Freeze is great, but Patrick Stewart would be marginally better.
Sara Fletcher (Secret Girlfriend) as Harley Quinn. She's really hot.
and...that's all I can think of for now.

David Tennant would do a good job. For some bizzare reason, I can also see Gene Wilder in the role.
Yahtzee. He already wears a hat well.
Just imagine him saying, "well, Riddle me this, Batman!" while twirling a cane.

... Or him! Good idea, actually.ThatsBitch3n said:
Knowing how Batman and Robin was received this'll sound odd, but I'd rather see him as Mr. Freeze.Hattman said:
Wasn't he the guy with good intellect, and his dad made fun of him for being stupid, then he didnt this impossible riddle and his dad called him a cheater for it, and then he treats bat man like his dad does to him. He is obsessed with beating bat man "world greatest detective in a riddle"Daveman said:
When he gets beat by bat man in a riddle he calls bat man a CHEATER.
Johnny Depp can pull it off. Riddler is an obsessive compulsive who is constantly trying to foil his own schemes... that's a darkly complex character that Johnny Depp is suited well to portray. He's soft spoken enough that he can certainly foil a rougher Batman.
Altho, Penguin also makes a great foil for the real-world Batman. He's high society, and well to do, and doesn't need a ton of special effects to pull off. He's a high-class criminal mastermind, the trick umbrellas aren't even necessary for his central character.
