Report: The Riddler confirmed for “Dark Knight 3” after all????

Leave a comment

With Comic Con starting tomorrow, rumours hit the net that the Riddler is confirmed for the Joker, but denied reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be playing the character. The question is, will Christopher Nolan go to San Diego Comic Con to confirm the Riddler news himself? I would think he would probably be there.

I’m hoping Chris would deny this rumour ’cause I honestly don’t want the Riddler as villain. I would like someobody different and new. A villain like Hugo Strange, Bane, Killer Croc, Black Mask, etc. A villain that hasn’t been used before in the earlier films.

If the Riddler is confirmed, Leo Dicaprio will probably end up getting the role anyways. Leo will want to star in a Batman film. Leo may not top Heath, but I’m pretty positive Leo would nail the Riddler role perfectly. Robin Williams would do good, but he’s too old. The Riddler should go to a younger guy and Leo is perfect, in my opinion. Leo might be able to pull off that crazy laugh, Riddler does.

I’m sure we’ll hear more Batman 3 news over the weekend when Comic Con starts. Who knows, maybe Chris Nolan will surprise us and he might be there. Maybe he will even bring us news for the new “Superman” flick at Comic Con as well.

Report: Robin Williams wants to play the Riddler in next “Dark Knight” flick, if Chris Nolan picks the Riddler that is…

Leave a comment

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.

Thought: Woody Harrelson should play the Riddler in Batman 3 if the Riddler is picked…

If The Riddler is picked as the main villain for “Batman 3”, I think Woody Harrelson would be the perfect choice of actor to play the character. Woody looks almost exactly like Frank Gorshin from the TV series. Woody’s got the same look as the Riddler character, he’s got a great enough speaking voice for the character. I’m pretty sure Woody can laugh like the Riddler perfectly. Woody’s the perfect fit for the Riddler role, in my opinion.

As for who should play other Batman villains, another actor I can think of that could play the Penguin is Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was actually rumoured to play the character years back but he denied it. Phillip is short and fat like the Penguin. Either him or Jack Black would be great for the Penguin.

As for the Catwoman, I know they won’t get Halle Berry, but lets hope Nolan doesn’t have her in mind. Honestly, Angelina Jolie might be great for Catwoman. Maybe Kate Winslet or Hillary Swank.

They need an actor who can play the villain with great acting chops, much like Heath Ledger’s Joker. I’m pretty sure Nolan won’t fail on the casting for the villain for Batman 3. He’s great at what he does.
