There is really no doubt that the Riddler will be the main villain in the next Batman movie but the question is who should play this iconic role. There are many roles that are fan favories of who should play this character here are some of those candidates.



Johnny Depp is probably the best choice because he is a veteran actor who brings a sort of strange quality to his characters. He is one of the best actors today and I think he would do the the role.


jared Leto is sort of a back up plan in case Depp doesn't do it he is a great actor and would be a great Riddler. This also a good choice in case you don't want an A list actor and someone who is not as well known.


Jeremy Renner is a great actor and is a fan favorite for this role he could pull off the role as a tough guy who is also a master genius. He could be a different Riddler but he would be epic in the role.


Neal Patrick Harris now this is a very controversial choice because some people think that having a comedian on this movie it would end up like Jim Carey on Batman Forever but I think he would be decent. This Riddler would be a more comical character but not to the Carey extreme though. I think with guidance from Nolan and the rest of the cast this could work.


Ben Foster this choice is one I thought of and I think it would be great Foster is one of my favorite villain actors and he would be brilliant in this role. This guy can play some real strange people and he would pull off this role with ease.

Now Riddle me this who do you think is the best choice for such an iconic character. If you have someone in mind that I did'nt mention please point them out.

I'd actually be surprised to see Riddler as the next villain. I think Nolan will pick a more obscure villain like Black Mask.

I'd still love to see Grundy as a thug for the main villain. I think a mid-film tussle between the strength of Grundy and the cunning of Batman would be wicked cool.

Tyler- I know you came up with the Leto choice and when I saw it I thought it was brilliant good job.

ecksmanfan- the Riddler is most likely the main villain in the next Batman film the Black Mask would be a side villain most likely.

LEEE777-Depp is my fav choice as well.

secretasianboy- Tenant slipped my mind sorry

Not really interested in seeing Riddler so soon. He would be great to display Bat's detective skills, but also not a big departure from the Joker. I say bring in Black Mask, Hush or Scarface! Or maybe all 3! Black Mask could be the main villain (that is, until we find out Hush was the one behind it all) and Scarface could be his right hand man. Thoughts?

p.s. but yeah, if they go with Riddler, Depp is the better actor.

@Superbats- What evidence is there that suggests that he will be the next villain? I just think he's way too much like the Joker (and a lesser villain) to bring into the franchise. Too similar, too close together.

Black Mask, Hush and some sort of brute...Bane or Grundy FTW!

How about John Glover, who played riddler in Batman the Animated Series and Lionel Luthor in Smallville, I always thought he was a good riddler and he was Dr. Jason Woodrue in Batman and Robin, though Batman and Robin sucked. He's a great Riddler, check out some of the episodes, you'll see what I mean.

If we're going with voice actors from various Batman cartoons, I say get Robert Englund as the Riddler ;)

The RIDDLER is a bad choice for a villain... too cartoonish for the realistic Nolan universe... The villain or villains should be chosen from the following...

DEADSHOT, BLACK MASK, PENGUIN, HUSH, BANE...

The Joker is my choice!:) Johnny Depp, Jude Law or Crispin Glover as The Joker... I dont really care who plays him as long as he is a good actor and can pull of this role. Then im happy!

But if... The Riddler is the bad guy i say Johnny Depp!
I cant see anyone else playing this role anymore.

ecksmanfan@ Hush would be a great villain!!:) Black Mask, Deadshot and Bane as his sidekicks! THAT WOULD BE A GREAT MOVIE!

Jackie Early as neither FREDDY or THE RIDDLER!!! : P

I agree with LEEE...No to Haley. He was good as Rorschach, but not even close to right for Riddler.

Daniel Day Lewis for the Riddler
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 5/17/2010, 3:05 PM
Ryden- I have seen Renner on multiple fan casts on this website as the Riddler.

joekerr93-Daniel Day Lewis would be pretty good as the Riddler he is good at playing villains

Dude, there ISN'T no doubt that the Riddler will be the main villain in the next Batman movie. Who the f**k said that?

I'm pushing for Hush as the main villain. Others that can work includes Black Mask.

Catwoman or Talia Al' Ghul can be the new love interest.
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 5/17/2010, 6:19 PM
I highly doubt that Hush or Black Mask would be the lead villains because people who are not huge comic nerds don't know who they are they aren't popular enough everyone knows the Riddler. Nolan could make the Riddler dark and scary.

ecksmanfan - 5/17/2010, 8:27 PM
And you think Scarecrow and Rha's Al Ghul are mainstream? Maybe Scarecrow...
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 5/18/2010, 2:54 PM
Yes I do think Scarecrow and Rha's Al Ghul are mainstream because any parents who watched Batman the Animated Series with their children they would know who these characters are my parents did and they never read comics. I doubt my parents would know who Hush is they might know Black Mask because of the TV show The Batman.
