I thought we had a thread for Robin Williams.  I would have loved him as the first Riddler.  Batman Forever Riddler was too slapstick.  I think he's grown too old and isn't tall enough.  I don't know.  His ability says he can play whatever he wants.  His physical stature says otherwise.  That's like me playing Thor.  It's not going to work no matter how well I act.

I'm actually for it and I'll tell you why...

Go find Law and Order SVU Season 9, Episode 17. If he plays the Riddler, like he played his character in that episode, it will be an unbelievably powerful performance.

So many people think Williams is just a crazy comedian, but the man's got the acting skills.  Anyone see Awakenings, Good Will Hunting - serious roles.  He's got range.  I would love to see him as The Riddler.  He'd bring a whole crazy, manic, pyscho yet dramatic motivation to the role.

I actually would like to see Williams in the role of the Riddler. However I think it would be a bit of a stretch for me to accept since I have always thought of the Riddler as thin and spindly and Williams is definitely not that. I'm not worried about his acting, however. I think he could pull the role of in his sleep.

If his acting gets over his physique (like Jude Law playing Dr. Watson in the recent Sherlock Holmes movie) then I say he will be golden.

I think he could do a great job but I am unsure if he fits what Nolan is planning for the end of the trilogy

Robin Williams has always been one of my favorite actors. Anyone remember Mrs. Doubtfire? :lol: Aside from comedy, he's done Good Will Hunting, which was an excellent movie.

So I was the only one that didn't know that these Batman movies were supposed to be a trilogy? I just thought they were rolling them out because everyone was responding so well to them. Batman Begins was such an awesome movie and then I heard about Dark Knight, I almost peed on myself.

Then I found out that it was planned to be a trilogy. All that over excitement for nothing.

There has been no talk regarding the villain... i think it might be a while until we know...

remember that two-face was not confirmed until a couple of months before the release of the movie...

so who do you guys think it will be?

Catwoman?
Penguin?
Riddler?

Zsasz, the last capital was a typo

I always say zaz.

like Taz but with a Z, not sure how it should be said.  He was in the first movie but just in a cell.

IMO he is batman's scariest villain.

Shame on you Matt. After all the batman streets of Gotham reviews I wrote where I talked about him explained a lot about the villain his modus operandi and motivations, you say who? :cry:   
On a serious note I agree with Tony he is batman's scariest villain. A serial killer like him on the loose with the police turned against batman will make for an interesting plot.
Yet I think that one or two out of black mask, the ventriloquist or the riddler will be the main villain
