- vat0r, on 09/02/2008, -13/+229He'd actually make the perfect Riddler.
- WHOOMP, on 09/02/2008, -4/+131"Imagine a Batman movie directed by Tim Burton"
i lold - SkippyDoorknob, on 09/02/2008, -2/+118Tim Burton already did 2 Batman movies, I don't think they'd bring him back for another.
- pitchblack16, on 09/02/2008, -3/+104are you his personal assistant?
- ChristophyBrown, on 09/02/2008, -7/+91Depp is an amazing actor and if anyone can match Heath's performance he's the one to do it.
Ps. He's an very good singer as well, just watched Sweeney Todd. - ctino4, on 09/02/2008, -3/+86i hated this article. everything about it. the way it was written was like a 12 year old comic book geek trying to make a funny. really dumb.
- jgtg32a, on 09/02/2008, -3/+68Batman 3 will be a musical
- rupric, on 09/02/2008, -19/+83The Dark Knight is going to win some serious awards. It's going to be a tough act to follow.
- CoreyTamas, on 09/02/2008, -16/+60You're not.
I re-watched "Batman Forever" not long ago. Carrey was in his heyday at the time, which means he would do his roles just by being Ace Ventura over and over again. Exaggerated, stylized, and ripping off Matt Frewer left, right and center. :) - syphern, on 09/02/2008, -3/+46More like his personal stalker...
- Diggopolis, on 09/02/2008, -3/+44Depp will probably bring something new to the Riddler personae, that ought to be interesting to watch.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -11/+49shut up. You know how many times we've heard that?
- Br3ach, on 09/02/2008, -1/+38As long as I never have to hear "JOY-GASM!" in any Batman film ever again, Im sold.
- jgtg32a, on 09/02/2008, -0/+35Wow kinda scary how easy it is to see Depp saying that
- hhswatkins, on 09/02/2008, -5/+37Why is he being dugg down?
Everything about Jim Carrey's Riddler was nothing short of awful - erichw1504, on 09/02/2008, -3/+34Sounds like it, doesn't it?
- jtesta19, on 09/02/2008, -0/+31and philip seymour hoffman woulnt even have to gain weight for the penguin role.
- ohnoerino, on 09/02/2008, -2/+29I haven't heard his band. I'd assume they're better than "The Lieutenant Dan Band" though.
- AManWithNoName, on 09/02/2008, -0/+27Who's afraid of the big black bat?
- HigherLogic, on 09/02/2008, -0/+25I thought Depp as Wonka was an interesting twist, the whole movie had a dark, Burton-esque feel to it in the first place. The problem is, everyone was expecting something like the original, which it clearly wasn't. Then again, even the original Wonka movie, he's sort of a prick. Depp just compounded that.
- Kohaxx, on 09/02/2008, -2/+25Buried for giving absolutely no information and being written really poorly by someone who doesn't understand the series at all. No the Riddler is not the Joker with a different symbol, try again.
- Jonmad17, on 09/02/2008, -0/+22Him and his brother are already thinking about the sequel according to a few interviews they have given. And did Heath Ledger seem like the perfect choice when they announced that he was going to play the joker? How about we wait and see.
- adkenc, on 09/03/2008, -0/+21Batman: "Robin, listen to these riddles. See if you interpret them as I do. One: What has yellow skin, and writes?"
Robin: "A ball-point banana."
Batman: "Right. Two: What people are always in a hurry?"
Robin: "Rushing people... Russians!"
Batman: "Right again. Now what would you say they mean?"
Robin: "Banana... Russian... I've got it! Someone Russian is going to slip on a banana peel and break their neck!"
Batman: "Precisely, Robin; the only possible meaning." - Jhiaxuz, on 09/02/2008, -1/+22Born in New Zealand in sixty-four
A hot-headed actor named Russell Crowe
He loves to act but he loves one thing more:
Fight-in' Round The World
He fight his directors and he fights his fans
It's a problem no one understands
If there's two things he love it's fighting and,
Fight-in' Round The World
Makin' movies, makin' music and
Fight-in' Round The World!
Russell Crowe! - Rileyluck, on 09/02/2008, -1/+21Riddle me this, riddle me that....
- Mawds, on 09/02/2008, -1/+21There was a barber and his wife...
- theOster, on 09/02/2008, -0/+20i'd like to see him as batman...acting like sparrow. hilarity would ensue.
- richbleak, on 09/02/2008, -0/+18Maybe I'm in the minority in thinking that part was sarcasm?
- supertrombone, on 09/02/2008, -4/+22David Tennant as the Riddler would be my dream
- Munceenuts, on 09/03/2008, -0/+18Too bad it was from the article.
- randomstupid, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17the ones that had to move around and speak and be living and stuff
- BlaqReaper, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17A dark creepy version of a pirate.
- juicyjames, on 09/02/2008, -1/+18All these Batman rumors are stupid and highly likely false.
Batman story writer David Goyer is busy writing a new Invisible Man.

Batman screenplay writer Jonathan Nolan is still working on Terminator Salvation, and Batman director Chris Nolan hasn't even signed on to do a third movie yet. He also only casts with a script in his hand.

Not everything Johnny Depp does is stellar. I have my faith in him, but I'm initially skeptical. - Rheic, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17As opposed to..?
- adamgaudreau, on 09/02/2008, -0/+16Burton has said that he never wants to do a comic book movie ever again, let alone another Batman movie. And no, I don't want to find proof.
- kmckanna, on 09/02/2008, -1/+17I can see him doing a very good job with this part. Not only is he a very, VERY diverse actor when it comes to persona's he has to play, but this role seems like the ones he really likes to do.
- drbonemonkey, on 09/02/2008, -2/+18I could see it.... but I don't even think anybody has began working on the script yet... so.. it might be hard to cast a roll for a movie that has no existing characters yet ;)
- endlessoul, on 09/03/2008, -1/+14They had better not.
- richbleak, on 09/02/2008, -9/+22I'm pretty sure the "Maybe I'm in the minority" part was sarcasm.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -2/+15Nothing to see here folks. Just a bunch of lost ultra-fans.
Buried. - AshamedAmerican, on 09/02/2008, -1/+14Why does every horse ***** rumor about Batman 3 hit Digg's front page?
Oh btw Riddler hasn't been a "goofy" style villain for years (jumping around giggling, the way most people think of him), he's a cocky, egotistical, megalomaniacal prick with one of the worst cases of OCD ever.
Appropriately, the Riddler's main thing over the past few years is that people (Batman included) keep underestimating him and it allows him to continuously gain the upper hand, even allowing him to win a few over Batman himself.
These empty casting rumors ("ooooh Depp could play Riddler because he was goofy and kooky as Wonka!) go along with that perfectly.
You're underestimating the Riddler guys, he's going to surprise you. - DoctuhJason, on 09/03/2008, -0/+12I just turned your monologue into a dialogue.
- insinuate, on 09/03/2008, -2/+14Blasphemy. The ending of that movie makes up for the whole tights wearing escapade, with him in the pysche ward..."I know who Batman is!" "who is he? whats his identity?" "I AM BATMAN!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!"
- BradleyNowell1, on 09/02/2008, -0/+12You're just full of bad ideas aren't you?
- tcasey, on 09/03/2008, -1/+12i actually honestly think that if jim carrey got a chance to re-play the riddler, he would do an outstanding job. carrey has developed a lot since 1995 (eternal sunshine, man on the moon). if he took it from a serious, nolan-esque perspective, he could play that role great.
- NotYourProdigy, on 09/02/2008, -1/+12Completely blown out of proportion
- WHOOMP, on 09/02/2008, -0/+11but can he out sing the joker?
- itsjoshy, on 09/02/2008, -1/+12I think Will Arnett would make a much better Riddler
