The Batman 3 casting rumours have so far been numerous and vague, but at least one thing’s for certain – Johnny Depp will definitely play The Riddler.
That’s a stone cold fact. You heard it here first. Why are we so sure that Johnny Depp will play The Riddler in Batman 3? Because Johnny Depp recently briefly mumbled something desperately ambiguous about it possibly being quite fun to maybe play The Riddler during a local radio interview with his band.
See? That’s means Johnny Depp is definitely going to be The Riddler in Batman 3, which is why we’ve already started to manufacture a set of Johnny Depp Batman 3 Riddler action figures. OK, admittedly we just got a load of unsold Pirates Of The Caribbean action figures and Tippexed question marks onto their backs but – face it – that’s probably what he’ll be like in the film anyway.
We know this is a bit premature, but we’re absolutely confident that Batman 3 is going to be the best film ever made. Seriously, ever.
Look at how Dark Knight ended, with Batman living in fear as a supposed criminal vigilante. Batman 3 is going to have the same feeling of doomy paranoia and creeping dread, but it’ll also have Cher titting around in a rubber doily too. There’s something for everyone there, provided that you’re a manic depressive comicbook fan or a stereotypical homosexual.
But what if you want more from The Dark Knight‘s sequel than a fed-up Batman and a terrifyingly expressionless pensionable Catwoman who keeps getting her old lady minge out? What if, for instance, you want to see The Riddler in Batman 3?
Well, frankly, if that’s the case you’re an idiot. The Riddler is rubbish. He’s basically The Joker but with a green hat and a thing for Sudoku. He’s Henry Kelly from Going For Gold with a bee in his bonnet. He’s rubbish. Don’t argue, we’re right. He’s rubbish.
But none of that fierce logic is washing with Christopher Nolan. It’s long been rumoured that he’d like to cast Johnny Depp as The Riddler in Batman 3. So far Johnny Depp has kept quiet over the reports, but during a local radio interview recently, he decided to share his thoughts on the matter:
Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.
Depp: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of.
Host: You’d be a good choice.
Depp: It seems like it’d be a fun gig for a while, yeah.
“It seems like it’d be a fun gig for a while, yeah.” If that’s not official confirmation of the casting, we don’t know what is. But you know what this means?
It’s obvious. Cher as Catwoman and Sweeney Todd‘s Johnny Depp as The Riddler? Batman 3 is going to be a musical!
That’s excellent news, and we’d like to take this opportunity to offer Christopher Nolan our specially-composed pieces I’m Just A Lonely Millionaire With A Creepy Bat Fixation, Butla Rapp and Don’t Kiss Me Catwoman (You Have A Moustache Like My Gran). Don’t be stealing our ideas, Nolan.

u may as well believe the exact opposite to what this guy has written, did any1 read his post when they announced heath ledger as joker ??? he thought it was a terrible choice, so he turned out 2 b completly wrong. mayb cher will b the best person to b a villain, cos the guy who wrote this article doesnt think so
Riddler is my favourite I think jonny depp is excellent to play him, if you’re going to say that the riddler is like joker than they’re all like joker because the only thing they have in common is they’re crazy. You can’t do any more after the riddler because you want to end on something smart and funny there are no other famous villains like this a chance was taken in the first one with rhas a gul and zsasz. No penguin he’s stupid, no harley because you need joker and it will be hard to replace Heath ledger, bring back two face with another actor he doesn’t need to be dead. Use a good business man but also evil like ray liotta. No monsters like man bat or killer croc or bane, no poison ivy, maybe a mister freeze, I would love a robin who suits the new batman, and a batwing. More scarecrow. Do not introduce arkham asylum yet.
hey guys sorry to burst your bubble but david tennent is playing the riddler i will agree that johnny depp would do an awsome job seeing how he can change character for anyrole. But as Daley is right david tennent does an sweet crazy. i also think that marion cotillard is also in play either harley quinn or catwomen though i dont see catwomen mixing with either the riddler or harley quinn so i hope she is a big no no. otherwse the riddler and harley quinn could just end up being just like TDK playing with batmans mind but also batman have the whole gotham city police department against him would make it a bit more interesting hoping with all this batman might just have to brake his 1 rule No killing anyways thats all from this nerd laters fellas
This is the biggest crock of shit, bullshit excuse for an article. “OMFGZORZ he’s interested so he is going to do it!!” ” GASP, BATMAN 3 the MUSICAL!!!”
Just because someone expressed interest doesn’t mean they are doing it. There were like 10 people who were INTERESTED in playing the role of Joker for Dark Knight.
Joker should not come back. There should be no reoccurring characters except for possibly Two-Face if there is something good, logical and quite frankly, interesting.
The third movie storyline should NOT be based on Arkham Asylum. It should have a tone like Mask of the Phantasm. Everyone thinks Batman is a criminal and everyone is chasing him. the theme should be REDEMPTION.
Cher as Catwoman? That’s about as bad as Eddie Murphy playing the Riddler. Johnny Depp or Guy Pierce should play the Riddler, Kate Beckinsale for Catwoman and Philip Seymour Hoffman for Penguin. If Joker was to be brought back, make it either Paul Bettany, David Tennant (maybye) or even Adrian Brody. Johnny Depp as a last resort (though they should leave Joker alone). After Scarecrow’s pitiful cameo, any other would just be wasted.
And to all of you who have posted saying what’s what. Your facts are about as credible as an 89 year old woman with down syndrome and alzheimers. Why? Cause you have no supporting evidence, references or anything of the kind.
Again, I dub thee worst and most pointless article EVER….peace
You can’t have Harley Quinn without the Joker, that just wouldn’t make sense, as good as a character she is, she’s just not stong enough to pass as the primary villian. She may have been lined up for the third movie if, as originally planned the third movie still had the joker in it. Even then I can’t quite see Nolan’s vision of the Joker including Harley.
I like the redemption plot, seeing him trying to win back public opinion.
I would like to see Bane in the third film, not the cartoon they had in Batman and Robin but the REAL Bane.
Any thoughts?
u didnt just say the Riddler was the worst villian and was like Joker, he is nothing like joker, the Riddlers a fuckin genius for christs sake, and when Jim Carrey played him in Batman Forever(WB’s third batman, 1995)he was hilarious. and people just because the villians look like freaks, doesnt mean they shouldnt be in it, with the exception of man bat(can you say ugly).
Okay… Just An Idea… Why Don’t We Bring Back The Classic Riddler, Jim Carrey… I’d Like To See Him As The Riddler Again, And Now With A New And Better Screen Play, Maybe It Would Look More Impressive And Maybe Johnny Depp as The Joker… But Just An Idea
They should get jim carry back. no one could be better than him. johnny depp sucks! he would be lame!
jim carey is an comedian…johnny depp is an real actor so lets be real………………JOHNNY DEPP RULES!!!!
ps…
jim carey is good to…
i totaly agree…johnny depp ia an fantastic acter and i think that he will be much beter as the joker…i mean lec fase it he was perfect as that maniak at sweney todd…
They should make Brendan Routh be the villain as Superman.
I think penguin should be in he awesome he would kick batmans but. Also poison ivy should come back but not like in the old movie she was gay in that she should be more creative. if the riddler is in it, it should be jonny depp cause hes the best actor in the world in my opinion. I dont know much about batman vilians but i think helen bohman carter should play someone crazy i mean look at harry potter shes awsome as bellatrix.
harley quinnshould should def b in part 3! shes a pretty key character, and u could make the small plot harleys revenge. kramer would b a good joker(mayb 2 old) and depp as riddler! but cher as catwoman? shes to old!!!!!!!!!
The Riddler is a great villian. He is not a carbon copy of the Joker in any way. The thing that makes the Riddler great is that he challenges Batman’s intellect. Batman has to deduce what the Riddler is going to do by reading his riddles. None of the other Batman villians, great as they may be, can do that.
Jim Carrey is the best Riddler ever! It will be very hard (but not impossible) to fine batter actor for that role!
wtf cher as catwoman wat about Megan Fox or even halie berie
i agree with DALEY
put johhny depp as the joker but like as a riddler bring back Jim CArrey
or even put Johnny Knoxville as thsat character
THe riddler is a trick playing character
a phsycotic Character
that does things to get in peoples heads
johnny depp deffenetly joker
Why not actually write a decent script for the Scarecrow and let Depp or Guy Pierce have that part. Batman finds his redemption while battling a city’s nightmare’s and facing some of his own. I know the Riddler’s a popular character(one of my favs)but I would like to see a villian you don’t see often-let’s light a fire under Scarecrow and make him as interesting as Ledger’s Joker-just a thought.
Ok guys what are you doing? There is a reason none of you should be directors/writers or anything of the sort, you are all horrible, with the exception of Maverick who is the only one who made sense. Harley Quinn? Are you joking? First off the Joker will never come back because Heath did an amazing job and that will never be duplicated. Second off you have to have characters that fit with this Batman Universe (Dark, twisted, real)not sidekick cartoony villains. This is what should happen. Like Maverick said earlier, it should take a redemption style theme, where the law is Batmans enemy. As for villains. A dark riddler would be fantastic, challenge Batmans intellect and show the side of Batman thats really been missing. Also Catwoman should really make the movie as well because Batman has no love interest. DUH. Think about it. Would could be morally challenging then to fall in love with the girl he must take in? Remember these themes have to follow Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Dark, sinister and twisted. Maybe Catwoman can be dismissed. I dont want this movie to turn out like Spiderman 3.
Hello there, I have not been told about the movie, batman gotham city 3 but i just wanna tell u if u belive this u just GOT PWNED BY ME lololololololol
IM NOT JOHNNY DEPP IM CHUCK NORRIS
right well i want to see scarecrow but i want him to be more twisted because so far in the movies they have made him look like a push over, if they dont do that i want to see the riddler and i want him to be smart like he was in batman the animated series i dont want a hilarious riddler i want a riddler thats gonna go into ur head and mess you up like i think he should be played because hes supposed to be a joker clone hes supposed to be a brilliant trickster that no one can figure out but batman, i liked jim carey i guess but he didnt play true to what i think the riddler should be like. and harley quin could be ok i dont really want to see her but if she is in the movie i dont want a joker there i just want him to be behind the scenes like since she was his psychiatrist hes telling her things to do in there sessions or something like that. but no catwoman, shes boring. if not those villians um maybe mad hatter might be cool, or um scareface i think would match up with some of the dark themes
Why not have Michael Emerson star as the Riddler? I don’t know if anyone here watches LOST, but on the show he plays Benjamin Linus, a manipulative, lying sociopath, and quite possibly my favorite villain/anti-hero ever. He’s intelligent, unpredictable, and always one step ahead of everyone else. Here is the URL address for his character page, if you are interested: [[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Benjamin_Linus]]. I personally think he would be great.
If there is another batman movie with the riddler in it, would robin also show up in it too?
You know who I’d really like to see play the Riddler? David Tennant. I think he’d actually bring more to the role than Depp.
The more you think of any sphycopath character like The Joker, and The Riddler, Johnny Depp is the best choice for any of those roles.
But as soon as The Dark Knight came out, nobody could have done better than Heath Ledger. But in Johnny Depps case, look back in his early years. Jack Sparrow, Sweeney Todd, Willy Wonka, and Edward Csissorhands, who are nothing but crazy out of the box characters. Whats the difference between them and The Riddler. Nothing! I know The Riddler is a lot alike between The Joker, but when you have a great actor like Johnny, you give him that chance.
On the other hand, Robin and Catwoman will be a cheeseball move to put them into the 3rd installment Batman with Christain Bale. The 2 movies together are too serious for a gay spandex cat girl, and some sidekick to the main character.
Only bring in Johnny Depp as The Riddler, and maybe Phillip Seymore-Hoffman as the Penguine. But not too Danny DaVito penguine, Phillip should make him a bit more dark.
Maybe have helena Bonham Carter in this film as an option for a vilain. Look at her, she’a alot alike Depp, thats an All-star cast.
What you want a cheesball batman like Batman and Robin, heck no. I just don’t think you should have more than 2 villain in 1 film, that will cause a lot of confusion of who will be the ultamite challenge for Batman, to bring redemption back becoming the caped crusader hero.
This should how it be
Christian Bale
Michael Cain
Morgan freeman
Gary Oldman
Johnny Depp
Phillip Seymore-Hoffman
Helena Bonham Carter
First off why Batman Begins is better than the Dark Knight. First reason is because of the Gotham/Batman feel to movie. Christopher Nolan definitely worked hard on a Gotham city in Batman Begins with Artdeco buildings but in the Dark Knight it is Chicago and Hong Kong with all modern buildings. I recently went to Chicago and found at least a dozen places that were clearly in the Dark Knight. Also the Bat cave is lost and so is Wayne manor and I know they are both destroyed but at least in the third film they should bring those back. Second reason is because there is a more variety of villans in BB and you feel like he is almost cleansing the city, which he also does not yet succed. You expect that in the Dark Knight but you get a lighter feeling rather than a dark cruel city that needs saving. Filming mostly in the daytime really affected the film. Also the only villan you get is the Joker (i guess Two-Face, but you do not get them at once) and he is just one person trying to make the city his. The villan is to clear, you do not get a dark and confused world. In BB you have Scarecrow, Victor Zsaz, Ra’s Al Ghul, Carmine Falconi, and Henri Ducard. Thridly I have heard that the reason if any why they did not like the Dark Knight is that there was too much action. The action scenes were not even remorable in terms of hand to hand comabt, which there were few of. All the training he got seemed to go to waste against the Joker. Now about the movie. This cast is also stacked like the Dark Knight. Batman Begins is a great and entertaning movie especially for the comic reader. I first saw the movie before I read comics and played videogames on Batman. Watching it again, I was blown away, absolutley amazed about how much detailed was put into the movie , which the Dark Knigh lacked. This was Christian Bale’s best movie yet. For a third movie it would be awesome if they did not let go of the Joker, but instead get a Heath Ledger look alike to play various cut scenes of him escaping Arkhum Asylum and ruling Gotham. This time it would be harder for Batman to get to him becasue this time the Riddler and the Penguin are in his way. The Riddler is forcefully employed by the Joker and the Penguin is persuaded. The Riddler should be a Jigsaw type character ,spying on Batman and making him solve his riddlers. The Penguin on the other hand is almost tricked by fighting Batman because he has started racketering and buisness fraud which he come across Wayne Industries. The Joker is ruling all of this. Maybe a thrid villan would come in handy. Also, bring back the Gotham look and it should be the start of the Batman we all know, the Great Detective and the Dark Knight. When he becomes “Batman” instead of “The Bat-man.”
***CLICK YES***
***PLEASE, CLICK YES***
i was expecting this and it’s a great to know the Johnny Depp is coming to rock the Bat man 3. I am in to theater work and as an actor Johnny Dep is source of inspiration for me but the think. heath ledger ruled in Bat Man he was the biggest sign of attraction for audience but i feel SAD Holly wood lost the champ right before the movie was released.
I think The Joker must be recast for the third movie. I appreciate the loyalty that some people are showing towards Heath’s performance but saying it can’t be topped is nonsense. Daniel Day Lewis (arguably the greatest character actor ever) would do an amazing job. I reckon the story should feature The Joker being treated in Arkham Asylum by Dr. Harleen Quinzel (aka Harley Quinn), with him slowly manipulating her to become his pawn on the streets of Gotham, and with her mainly attempting to finish his intentions of killing Batman. I also think The Penguin should feature in it. Not Tim Burton’s stupid portrayal of him, more like a ruthless mob boss who has taken full advantage of Gotham while Batman has been laying low from the authorities. Possible cast: Harley Quinn – Brittany Murphy (Girl, Interrupted proves her psychotic credentials). The Penguin – Philip Seymour Hoffman (there should be no disputing this).
JOHNNY DEPP IS NOT A GOOD PERSON TO PLAY THE RIDDLER…JIM CAREY IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT PLAYS A GOOD RIDDLER. JOHNNY DEPP CAN SUCK SACK.THE ONLY GOOD THING HES GOOD AT DOING IS PLAYING A DRUNKEN PIRATE HE SUCKS. IF YOU THINK HE WOULD BE A GOOD RIDDLER THEN YOU CAN SUCK SACK TOO. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CASTING IDEA IT WILL MOST DEFFINATLY RUIN THE MOVIE.
I absolutly love the idea of Johnny Depp as the Riddler. But your an idiot for saying the Riddler is like Joker. Reading this it doesn’t sound like you know too much. Joker is a crazed murderer, Riddler is an obsessive compulsive clue maker. He’ll challenege Batman intellectually. While Joker is sick and Twisted, Riddler is cooky and sly. While Joker is raw and ‘grungy’ Riddler is well kept,charming and a smooth talker. ‘unknown’ is also an idiot, and obvisouly dosn’t know the first thing about acting.
I don’t like the idea of replacing Heath…I think I’d rather let it stand alone, however I am torn to the idea of introducing Harley Quinn, (only is Nolan does it right,) But A good way Nolan should go is having 1 villian per movie. He can do a lot with Catwoman in future movies. The series isn’t dead without Joker, even though it could have been a lot better with him. But if anyone ever ha a chance of replacing heath…it would be Johnny. But I’d rather Depp make his own character with Riddler.
How about Joe Pesci as The Penguin..
A Jim Carrey Type Riddler does not belong in the Nolan Batman universe. Johnny will do a good job.
For some reason I’d really like to see a Killer Moth appear
Johnny would do The Riddler justice I think, although I’m sure their are plenty of actors that could suit the job just fine.
Whoever the jackass is who said Johnny Depp sucks balls is a complete moron. If he thinks the original film with Carrey is better than what Nolan will put out, then he sucks balls. I don’t think Nolan can top Dark Knight, but if he can, Johnny Depp is the only actor out there to get him there.
NOPE johnny depp just wouldn’t be the right person for this part…most of his characters are nore sinister and johnny doesn’t pull off “completely psycho Nerd/scientist carving attention” Jim Carrey did that perfectly HOWEVER David tennant would pull it off fabulously
Okay, well to all the people claiming that another Joker should be casted, stop. Having the Joker be an active role in Batman again should not even be considered. All this would cause is a lot of pissed off people. As far as the Riddler, yes he has high potential to be a very lame villain but Johnny Depp would play this role very well I’m sure. Personally I think the Riddler should be a small time villain if anything. I just cannot see the Riddler as being a logical follow up to the Joker in TDK. One thing is for certain, whoever it is that plays whatever villain has some big shoes to fill after Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker.
Oh, and P.S. I personally feel that there will be another appearance of Dent whether or not it will be in Batman 3 is beyond me, but it seems a bit odd that Nolan would allow Two Face to fall, break his neck, and die off screen. It seems like that fall could easily go either way. To sum things up I would love to see Dent return and frankly it doesn’t seem so far fetched.
Why are we so sure that Johnny Depp will play The Riddler in Batman 3? Because Johnny Depp recently briefly mumbled something desperately ambiguous about it possibly being quite fun to maybe play The Riddler during a local radio interview with his band.
He didn’t say he is playing The Riddler, he said it would be fun. There is no other evidence to say that he is playing The Riddler.
How is that stone cold evidence? He didn’t say that he is playing The Riddler.
Until there is REAL evidence of him playing The Riddler, then I’ll believe it.
i think depp will make an excellent joker not as good as ledger though and i think alissa milino would make a better catwoman and
ray liotta the man of a thousand faces
Hey first things first. Your an idiot. The Riddler is nothing like The Joker. The Joker is a violent pyschopath who gets his jollies by blowing shit up or killing people or burning shit down. The Riddler is a cerebral villian whos one joy in life is outwitting Batman, he has this compulsion to prove he’s smarter and thats why he can’t bring himself not to leave a riddle before a crime. Sure he’s willing to kill to accomplish his ends, but he’s not really a violent villian like the Joker is. He is in fact the least violent of all Batman villians. So before you start saying stupid shit about Batman villians maybe you should learn something about them. Read a comic man. Hell if your that lazy just watch Batman: The Animated Series, the episode: If your so smart, then why aren’t you rich. Well thats about all. Enjoy being stupid. Have a nice day.
See the posters for the movie at this link http://www.bookmoviereviews.com/2009/06/johnny-depp-riddler-in-batman-3.html the guy in the second poster isn’t johnny depp its the amae za za zing (amazing)[drum roll] david tennant so you all lie its not Johnny depp its The Doctor. After all he would make a much better riddler. CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS>CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW
Riddler after Joker can’t be good because they’re surely so similar.
The other supervillains are ridiculous: Mr Freeze, The Penguin, Catwoman… can ayone think of a character that would be interesting?
Josh – stop being a retard. They are similar and that’s a fact. Do you know what the word similar means? Its better to have a very different villain, from a financial perspective or the franchise will DIE.
I don’t know why so many people are hell bent on the idea of one villain in Batman 3. What’s not to love about the possibility of mayhem of all kinds? I’d like to see Rhona Mitra as Catwoman,Marion Cotillard as Harley Quinn, Dominic West as The Joker and I’m not familiar with David Tennant but his acting credits seem ok, so maybe him or Johnny Depp as The Riddler. But please God, no Robin or lame ass Batgirl !!! That would suck!!! I wouldn’t mind seeing Bane too, but not the mindless drone from the Joel Schumacher films. Or maybe Croc. Nobody’s had the balls to do him, but that character could work.
To all the people that didn’t like the Dark Knight, it is abundantly clear to me that you don’t appreciate scripts with actual story lines.Also filming in the day time did not take away from the feel of the film!!! And a bunch of you need to learn how to spell!!! What the hell is “sphycopath” and “remorable”?????? I think you might have meant ‘Psychopath’ and ‘Memorable’.
Spell Check is your friend. Use it.
With out a doubt The Dark was the gereatest Batman film yet! Yes Heath was a great part of that but Bale was the reason the series has flown so high! he did as well as ledger! u cant deny that! now to a 3rd installment villain choice bring joker back, have harley quinn , n riddler in it! plus the gotham police are after Batman if thats the case u need harvy bullock he despises Batman more then any cop ever has as much the villains themselves! u dont need romance it kills the movie! so no catwoman!now ur prolly wondering who my choice of actors are for the cast! well for i have a few! yes heath did his thing and it sucks so much he has passed cuz if he hadnt we wudnt b talking about this right now! but he’s gone and may R.I.P but it can be done again! the same was about jack nicholson’s joker and poof heath came along! i beleive Joker is much needed just as Batman is cuz the line in TDK we can do this forever set it off! i got chills wen i heard that line! best part of the movie was that whole seen between ledger and bale! so y not bring him back it is his arch enemy! thats like superman w/o lex! it doesnt work! my first choice though i hate some of his movies this dude can really act Leonardo Dicaprio! he’s got the look he’s similar to size of ledger and he can make his own!!!!!!!! 2nd choice he received great praise fron many yes hes been a villain in a diffrent series but his guy died in the lamest series of super heros 2 date spiderman, James Franco! he looks almost like ledger and he can act also! 3rd choice heathe twin almost Hayden Christianson looks identical can act and its just almost perfect! last but not least depp! he can do a sick job but him s riddler wud b fun 2 see wut he did w/ it! dont think of burton wen u think of depp think perfect actor! Crispin Glover as riddler wud b creepy! Nolans Riddler done by Crispin wud b as good as ledger’s joker!!!!!! now i saw 23 and i loved it and if u didnt then ur just a hater! yes this man is a comedian but the Man can act! Eternal Sunhine Of The Spotless Mind is just awesome!!!!!!!!!! yes u guessed it Jim mother fucking Carrey the man can do anything! n if Nolan gave him the riddler his way Jim wud win his first oscar no lie!!!!!!!!!and also a possible Joker yes he hasnt been it shit 4 a long time but wen was in kit he killed the role! Macaulay Culkin can I Dont Care wut ya’l think but his father destroyed him! The dude has mad talent! for harley quinn! Britany Murphy cud do it but i wud have 2 go w/ Natalie Portman she is one of todays brightest most talented stars! i think she wud nail that like Jordan did basketball! the woman can act her ass off! also Christina Ricci! but i think she can do a better catwoman if theyt did bring her into the series! but Christina cud do harley she is amazing! Micheal Madsen can do Harvey bullock hes just has the look for it! so does Clive Owen he is a badass dude and can play a tough asswhole like bullock is! or Mickey Rourke wud do great also! hes an tough s.o.b also! n can fit the part! and his acting is out of this world! you know wut throw penguin he can be in but not as often jus like w/alfred his parts are small but precise and awesome wen he is in it! the more the merrier! make penguin Phillip Seymore Hoffman or my personnal favorite the talented underrated Paul Giamatti that dude is scary n creepy n a psycho kind of way in movies! very eerie and thats wut Nolan is! burton is 2 but very dumb and retarded w/ it!

Sorry but think this set of films will be amazing and the 3rd should be the last, so there is room to kill off the joker and bring in equaly as twisted bad guys.
Depp as the riddler and Murphy as Harley Quinn and bring back the scarecrow for good measure.
I hated Maggie G as rachel as they changed it and it was the only bad bit in the Dark Knight dont do it again and not after what Heath did for the part.
Nicholsons Joker was a whole diffrent film and era it would be too soon to replace heath ledger.
Paul.
IF there is going to be a Riddler character in the next movie, I’d personally like to see Daniel Day Lewis (Will Be Blood, Gangs Of New York)cast. He’s got a quiet intensity with the flawless demeanor and confidence The Riddler invoked; somebody of high intelligence with maniacal tendencies. As much as I like Johnny Depp, I think his Riddler might be a little too cartoony, and not as gritty and real as the rest of the film would exude.
PS David Tennant would not make a good Riddler. His “Barty Crouch Jr.” role was laughable, his little tongue lashes cheesy, and I thought he was terrible in that movie. A big-name draw isn’t needed; give it to a proven character actor who can provide a Ledger-worthy performance.
What about these Ideas?
1st, Joker is in Arkham years later and it starts with a news report that the Joker was Killed by an inmate (one of Murones men).
The back story is that he has been under treatment with a Dr Quinn and they had fallen in Love, and this sparks revenge by Harly Quinn on Batman and Jim Gordon for putting The Joker in Arkham and as she has a History of working with Nut Jobs picks a Genuis master criminal in the Riddler who she sees as an equal to the Joker and her best chance of Revenge…..?
2nd, Brue Wayne has semi retired due to the last film and now being a figure for Hate in Gotham.
Bruce falls in love with a sexy woman and all is well untill his new girl makes it known she is there for revenge for her farther Raz Al Gul and knows he is Batman and with the help of master criminal the Riddler sets out to OUT bruce wayne and bring down gotham….?
Would Love to hear what you guys think?
Paul,
I like the FIRST idea! The second? it’s possible but barely.
I definitely think that I, Bruce Wayne- will not be doing anything related to BATMAN if that pansy- ROBIN, comes into play.
you cannot have someone play the joker again b.c. no one will ever be as good
i have never seen such a movie like batman darknight,the joker character which is performed by heath ledger is wonderful
Joe Pesci as The Penguin…He plays good mobsters..
Nah, not Johnny Depp, he is in what seems like every movie, at least a few every couple of months.
David Tennant would be good, he can play all kinds of different characters and is a really good actor. it would be a great role for him, too.
Although they have to have the Joker in unless the movie takes place in another city…
johnny depp = riddler and dustin hoffman = the peguin
I think you mean Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the penguin, not Dustin, i wouldn’t like the penguin in the 3rd Batman outing, but after playing Arkham Asylum i’d love to see Harley Quinn in the next film, Johnny Depp as the riddler = PERFECTION, I’ve also seen alot about David Tennant being The Riddler, which be a horrible choice because he’s such a bad actor.
I hope we see a 3rd Batman film, we only need for Christopher Nolan to confirm he will be directing the film.
Ally.
I agree, Harley would be gret but david tennant fits the description. depp wouldnt be half as good! harley would be great but replacing heath ledger…:’(
yeah, having Harley would be cool but what’s Harley Quinn with out the all time best Joker! Heath Ledger WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE US!
thats so untrue!!! jhonny is the shiznit he is good in every movie he plays in how could you sy that about him?
Having the Penguin would be a perfect follow on to the Dark Knight. With all the mob bosses dead or in prison there’s a power vacuum left to be filled and since Batman can’t work with the police anymore, the Penguin would have a greater chance of staying under the radar. I’m sure Nolan could work up something a bit more realistic and gritty than the camp and, frankly, pathetic versions of the Penguin shown in the past.
How is David Tennant in anyway a bad actor? Oh wait… he’s not he actually a great actor.
The Riddler sucks the only way Johnny Depp will make it work is if he dies post production due to a drug overdose. The Penguin isn’t a very scary villain just a small man with a penchant for umbrellas which incidently I’ve never seen a real penguin use. As for the Harely Quinn thing yeah she’s viable however i don’t think they should use her too soon simply because it’d be like watching the Dark Knight and feeling slightly attracted to the villain. There’s not many decent bad guys after Two Face and the Joker, I mean the Mad Hatter? Killer Croc? that would be a killer croc, a killer crock of shit. I’m thinking Hush or Bane preferably Bane and this time hopefully he’ll be true to the comics and not just a steroid junkie in a gimp mask. Anyway I Digress, the batman franchise I feel is running out of viable villains fast. Thanks for reading.
youre fucking stupid. tennant is a HORRIBLE actor. there are plenty of villains to use in the new movie, im guessing the riddler (since thats been all but confirmed by caine and certain producers involved) and perhaps the black mask. scarface would be a good one too, but hes too unrealistic. i like the idea of having the riddler almost like jigsaw in saw, trapping victims and making them have to escape by solving puzzles. pair him with maybe a penguin, two face (if hes really still alive), catwoman (though im not sure nolan is keen on that character), or some other villain that leads a bunch of cronies.
running out of viable villains?? you never read the comics much, eh? nolan is brilliant, and he likes realism, so you can count out the likes of freeze, ivy, killer croc, and all the ridiculous superpower villains. who wants another 2 hours of really bad “ice” puns by arnie? “ICE TO MEET YOU.”
but i digress. tennant sucks balls.
you suck balls, I like David Tennant as an actor, he’s very good at his job hence why he is so popular. Watch Hamlet and come back to me. Batman 3 may have a cameo of superman in it, supposedly due to the justice league movie set for 2014
Bane would be pretty awesome, but what Christopher Nolan has done is made it quite believable, so i don’t know how they would do Bane.
Ally.
I really agree with you but, I think they should use him later.
Bullshit, Tennant is a great actor, he was voted the best Doctor in the English Sci-Fi drama Doctor and is an excellent stage actor as well. Also he fits the description of the Riddler perfectly right down to the personality.
I know johnny depp is going to be a great riddler!!!! he is a great actor…so who ever that is hateing on him keep on hateing…because he is going too be the ridder nomatter what.
He in no way fits the physical or mental description dimwit.
you’re a retard, him saying it would be a fun gig for a while does not mean Johnny Depp will play The Riddler, it doesn’t even mean he’s been asked,it’s not confirmed until someone actually says the words, and i hope you were joking about Cher, she’s 62,she would make the worst Catwoman, she can’t even act.
Wow, every now and again a post comes along on the internet that just shows me how stupid people can be. Yours is 1 such post. Now, the original article is not such great literature that I feel the need to defend it, but you have completely missed the point. The author of this piece was laying on the sarcasm so thick with his writing you would have to be blind, deaf dumb, and retarded to not get it. You are clearly one of the least intelligent specimens of humanity walking the planet. Sterilise yourself and do natural selection a favor.
Amen brother!
ha. but both depp and tennant said similar things. sooo…. THE COMP is ON. was that over the top?
LMAO that was frikkin’ hilarious…it’s so obvious!!
Who do you think should play Catwoman?
I personally heard online that they were talking about either Halle Berry replaying it or going with Jessica Alba or Jessica Beil but either one would be good but my question is how long do we have to wait for Poison Ivy, Hell why not have the two villains be female for one, if anyone is man enough for it, its Batman
update people I wanted to see if my last report was correct and what I got was more confusion, now I’m hearing Cher and Angelina Jolie. I’m so confused right now but don’t worry I’ll check one more source who usually clears this stuff up so I’ll check back in another few hours and let you know what I find out.
Ok from my sources there is nothing certain for the new Batman movie, and truthfully all i can add is that Megan Fox was added to the list of names for a possible Catwoman if they actually decide to include Catwoman. Only sure things about the movie is the Riddler, and that nothing else is for sure.
One final thing is that they should get Rachel Nichols as Poison Ivy, if u dont remember her she was the redhead in G.I. Joe this link has a pic.

there should NOT be a batman 3 nuff said,,, the dark Night is the oNLY film that held a candle to greatness (topping titanic,,almost)LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!! WALK AWAY. Undoubtedly those assholes at Warner Bros. will want to fill their pockets ,,so it will be done bat 3 will happen!! but we will see it and Hate it, they will make some coin but we will hate it Bastards!!!!!!!
Yeah your right, look at all the others….Terminator, Spiderman, X-Men. Each of the third movies were complete garbarge…
Spiderman 3 sucked, X-Men always sucked (Except Wolverine), but Batman Begins and Dark Knight have been groundbreaking films. Warner Bros. would be fools to not make a third film. Is it a law that the third installment is always crap? Because the Dark Knight was better than Begins. Aren’t there still enough fresh minds behind the new Batman that the third could even top The Dark Knight? I’d bet everything that, if directed by Nolan and Batman played by Bale, the third Batman will become the most popular movie ever made in the history of mankind. The Dark Knight has almost made more money than Titanic… and it’s ten years younger.
yeah. WEll I trust nolan to make it as good if not, better than TDK.
yeah your right but look at it this way. the third installments of those movies all had different directors for them. one of the biggest reasons that sucked!
I do not think we will hate it. I just think it will be good as batman begins or even better. Obviously the Dark Knight will one of the greatest batman movies until we die.
I just realized I messed up on a word here so do not freak out!
