    Personily, I can picture John Glover being the Riddler. he already has the voice and he is familiar to the DC universe. He has proven that he can be a cunning and intellent villain as Lional Luthor. It would be interesting to see him as Edward Nigma in a live action film.

    I don't know actually.

    But I hope it will be someone good enough to play as the Riddler.

    @Mediant: well when you think about it Riddler doesn't need to be a physical threat so it'd be pretty easy for Hugh to do it. The pair I'm hoping for in B3 is Bane and Riddler, see Batman pushed to his max mentally and physically...

    Michael C. Hall was already a reporter in Nolan's 'The Dark Knight.' Contributive actors as Riddler could include Johnny Depp, Matthew Fox, Michael Biehn, Michael Vartan, Bradley Cooper, Edward Norton, Hayden Christainsen, Josh Harnett, or even Ryan Gosling. Terry Crews would suffice as Black Spider/Eric Needham or Firebug. John Glover would be better as Tally Man. Ditch the prior interpts of the Riddler to exceptions of Glover's portrayal in the animated series of Batman, initiate no comparissons with the Joker at all. Riddler is an arrogant, death-trap setting narcisistic anti-social personality complex; but his shallow one-ups to people and the Batman is far less than ego. A riddle is a puzzle or game with a clue in it. Above it all Riddler is Edward Nigma, a simple enigma, a manipulative liar.

    That was Anthony C. Hall, Micheal is younger, bigger and haves red hair.

    The ones in black are bad casting option, i mean Josh and Hayden ciould do great acting, but most of the times they lack something, Johnny Depp is to damn comfort zone casting to the point is boring and Bracley cant act.

    Edward Norton could do anything he wants, he is just to damn good to be real, Marvel must be insane to decide to lose hiimm.

    @Eyelash30: Norton tries to be a more paranoid Banner, if you see in the movie Hulk was cause by how his body react to his emotions, not only to one emotion, so he feels more paranoid of what hulk could cause.

    Also his Banner was more like the TV show, that the comic book, so i actually feel more connection with hims for the fact i have always liked more the tv show that the comic book.

    So sad that Riddler wont appear in Dark Knight Rises. But, if he did here's what I think would work :P.

    The thing about Riddler is that he's been described as not exactly... handsome. Suave and charming, yes; handsome, not so much. Which is why I could see David Tennant or, as seen above, Sam Rockwell playing him. I have no idea where this whole Eddie Murphy for Riddler thing came from, but I think he would take it in places that Jim Carrey did. And I somewhat agree with Poet about John Glover, but that would mean he'd have to cut that monstrous mane off again, and we can't have that.

    My vote would go to Lee Evans. He's British, yeah, but he can do a great American accent. If you don't know him, watch the Doctor Who episode Planet of the Dead. Its one of David's last episodes. The image adding thing is being a bitch so I can't post a picture. Just look it up.

    The Steelers are already in that movie, now you want the Ravens wide receiver playing the Riddler?

    Maybe Andy Dalton can play the Red Hood.

    The Cleveland Browns can all play extras (nobody recognizes any of them anyway).

    Call it The Dark Knight Rises in the AFC North.

    I'm repulsed by the fact that nobody has said NPH yet. He is dream casting for an intelligent, cocky, suave villain. He'd barely even have to act to be a flawless Riddler.

    The funny thing here is that I didn't mind Jim Carrey for a long while, until a few years ago. And then I realized he was trying way too hard to be Frank Gorshin's Riddler and that kind of ruined the whole damn thing.
