Robin Williams, revealed that he is dying to play the Riddler in the next “Batman” flick. The only problem is, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer still haven’t announced the main villain for Batman 3 yet. Just a few days ago, Christopher Nolan announced that the script for “Batman 3” is now in the works, finally. So we will soon know who the villains for the next flick will be.

Robin also says, he was offered roles for the earlier Batman films but he was turned down everytime. He got offered to play the Joker in Tim Burton’s “Batman” film, but it obviously went to Jack Nicholson instead and he also got offered a role for the Riddler in “Batman: Forever” but he was turned down for that too.

If Christopher Nolan does happen to pick the Riddler, maybe Robin’s dream would come true. Mr. Nolan has worked with Robin Williams in a film before. Remember that film, “Insomnia” which Robin stars with Al Pacino and Hillary Swank? That film was directed by Mr. Nolan, and Robin plays a villain in that film. So Mr. Nolan would know that Robin plays a villain very well.

Robin also played a villain in the movie , “One Hour Photo”, which was directed by Mark Romanek. Robin does have experience playing villains in films.

Even if the Riddler is picked for the next Batman film, that still doesn’t mean Robin could get picked. Maybe Chris has a different vision for a different actor that would be the right fit. So my point in this blog, don’t get your hopes up that Robin will get the role. I’d like to see him get it and Robin would play the role perfectly. Robin thinks he’s gonna get it because his “ego” got in his head that he already worked with Chris before.

I’m all cool with Robin as the Riddler, sure, but honestly, I would say give the Riddler role to a young actor.
