Nolan's Batman 3 casting is up - The Riddler - who's this dude??

Ne'er heard of him. . .looks like Billy Zane

Figure it's legit.

He looks good for it, seems like a serious actor.

Lot of people were calling Johnny Depp for this role, that would have sucked, I like Depp sure but not for this.
He is not raw enough for Nolans vision of Bats... figure an unknown will give gravity to the part.

i guess...it may turn out really good..this guy has the expectation to live up to the joker...thats gotta be some balls.

omg, that's just what we need - an utterly precious Riddler. Yuck.

Yeah, tough call, but he should relish the chance.
Hopefully they understand that Nygma is not just the Joker in green tights... unlike Jim Carrey.

Kinda disappointed they chose to go with the riddler at all tbh, would have liked to see Black mask or somebody like that... figured Black mask would have suited the Nolan style bats too.

Whatever, can't wait to see some teasers at some point.

dude might want to think about dying after filming it.

I'd love to see them work Azrael in somehow, but I just doesn't see that happening

black mask would have been the BEST VILLAIN!

theres no saying he wont be in it...after all, dark night had scarecrow, two face and joker.


even the story of black mask could EASILY fit into Nolan's gotham:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

"Black Mask spent some time in Arkham Asylum, but escaped and subsequently restarted the False Facers. He took on a new second-in-command, Tattoo (whose face was covered in a tattoo mask pattern), and began burning down Wayne properties. The False Faces kidnapped Lucius Fox, CEO of Waynetech and friend of Bruce Wayne. Batman infiltrated the gang and was able to save Fox from Black Mask's torture,"

easily fit the joker into the movie with arkham asylum, and actually use lucious in this.




who would you have play him?

To play Mask it would have to be somebody hardcore, real crime lord type, Mask is a vicious mobster at heart...

Danny Trejo maybe.

Way too early, maybe a glimpse or a mention of some holier then thou vigilante tearing up Europe.

Although at ths point they're still trying to figure out how to drop a superman reference in without it totally destroying the tone, which is why Nolan (or is it his brother?) is being broughtin on the new Supes reboot... Hardcore Nolan style Superman, that I can't wait to see.
