Eminem wants to be Nolan's 'The Riddler'

Also find out who really may be being considered for the role according to rumors in Tinseltown....

Perez Hilton reports:


"Chart-topping rapper Eminem hinted that he would be interested in playing the Riddler in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman movie.

However, Johnny Depp and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are also in talks for the role.

“When it comes to business, you know I ain’t no fiddler…You tell tem Batman biggies, I wanna play “The Riddler!” said Eminem to his reps.

A rapping Riddler? That sounds intriguing, but the Riddler also has to be conniving and evil, not a thug.

Sorry Eminem, but we’re not sure you have the acting chops for this role!"



With rumors fueling about actors being considered for the roles, such as Marion Cotillard being spoken to about Selina Kyle, its only a matter of time until we hear more concrete news about Christopher Nolan's 3rd Batman feature. Casting rumors of Johnny Depp and Joesph Gordon-Levitt have been heard previously but right now can simply be assumed as just speculation. Recently it's been suggested that Nolan is at the final touches of his brother's screenplay. More should be revealed by the end of September.

TOM HARDY FOR THE RIDDLER!!!!
hell he was great in inception, and downright AMAZING in bronson, i know that if he landed the role, he would put a spin on the character like we've never seen before

Everyone want's to be in the next Nolan movie, but I think he knows exactly what he wants and I don't think Eminem is what he wants.

If Eminem wasn't such an a$$hole, I might say yes to a bit part for him in Man Thing 2, but the way he acts and pretends that he's a badass is ridiculous. On another note, how's about Michael C. Hall as the Riddler or something. I know Lee or someone has him as Lex in their Superman fantasy, but he seems like he could be a very psychological villain.

joekerr93 - 9/4/2010, 12:59 PM
daniel day lewis or guy pearce for riddler

i think we are getting a little desperate when we are actually reading and commenting on stories as ridiculous as this, hurry the hell up nolan!!!

i do agree though, that we will probably know something by the end of september

AlexDeLarge87 - 9/4/2010, 1:17 PM
Duhdaduh@ Hardy is f*cking great!:D I love Bronson and Inception!

HARDY AS THE RIDDLER! JAVIER BARDEM AS BANE (More realistic version of Bane of course) and MARION COTILLARD AS TALIA or SELINA KYLE

(i will get murdered for saying this on this site, but) Emimen should DEFINITELY be in more movies. I think he'd make a very angry compulsive Riddler with low self-esteme (could be good). Deadpool would be more ideal (already taken though). He could make a great comics villain.

hmmm... idk anything about the guy so idk... the riddler should be played by someone that has good acting chops though...

So let him be Robin!

Absolutely F*cking NOT!!!! Keep that no-talent piece of SH*T the hell away from CBMs.

As a matter of fact, why doesn't Eminem just do us all a favor and take a header off the Empire f'ing State Building?

joekerr93 - 9/4/2010, 8:32 PM
holy shit i just heard that snoop dogg is going to play the riddler....GOTCHA ;)

I agree, I think its a very unique and fresh twist on a villain's motif. The application of the Riddler's ciphers within a cipher could be credible if they tie it into an underground hip hop community / crime syndicate.

Theres many directions this can go, but again its very delicate especially in the drama enriched nolan Batman. Rhymes may not be taken seriously by all audiences. It's another reason you never hear any vocal or pop music in Batman's background soundtracks, it would just take away from the emotion.

flames809 - 9/5/2010, 8:07 AM
he can act so i say a yes and he can make the riddler his own and it will be a new take on da riddler

gibbyblaylock- did have you ever heard his music if you have you wouldn't be saying he has no talent
