Robin Williams Denies That He's Pursuing The Role Of The Riddler In Batman 3!

Hardly suprising news, but the actor does go on to talk more about nearly playing the villain in past Batman movies and says he'd love to work with Chris Nolan again despite the backlash from a few angry fans...

Remember when Robin Williams told Empire Magazine that he'd love to play the Riddler in the next Batman movie? (If not, click HERE to read the original article) Well, when quizzed by British tabloid The Sun recently, he was quick to point out that the whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion!

"They've now made it seem like I'm lobbying to play the Riddler in the new movie. It's not true."

"I was once offered the Joker, then they gave it to Jack Ncholson, then they offered me the Riddler and they gave it to Jim Carrey. I've been punked twice, don't punk me again!"

"Now I get the angry people saying, 'He should never play that part!"


However, he was quick to point out that he'd love the oppurtunity to work alongside director Chris Nolan once again, "It's Chris's call, man. But to work with him again - oh god, I'd love to, it was a great experience on Insomnia."

Looks like he might be quite keen on portraying the villain after all! With Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio all also apparently in the running, do you think Robin Williams is a good choice? Share your thoughts in the usual place!
