While noting that this should be taken with a grain of salt, the report does go on to state, "According to a legitimate source who has seen an official casting document stamped April 2011, Edward Nygma (The Riddler) is being cast in The Dark Knight Rises. As of April, it doesn’t look like the character had been cast, but that most likely has changed now, nearly 4 months later. Below is how our source described the document to look:
EDWARD NYGMA (LEAD) -
BRUCE WAYNE/BATMAN (LEAD) – Christian Bale
ALFRED PENNYWORTH (LEAD) – Michael Caine
BANE (LEAD) – Tom Hardy
SELINA KYLE (LEAD) – Anne Hathaway
FEMALE LEAD (LEAD) – Marion Cotillard"
IF there's a shot of this rumor being true, what's the general feeling out there about yet another character being added? Does it bring with it excitement or some concern that things could veer into Joel Schumacher territory in terms of too many characters needing to be serviced?
