Robin Williams for Riddler.

[Paul (ral)]

I am sure you have all seen the news about Williams openly campaigning for a role in the next Batman movie.

How do you guys feel about it?

I am all for..I think he would be excellent.  Infact I would rather see a Nolan/Williams Riddler in the next Batman than Catwoman.

I thought he turned down the Riddler role in Batman Forever. That's what I've read.

I even remember years ago seeing Jim Carrey on Howard Stern's show. Howard referred to the Riddler role as "the part that Robin Williams turned down" and Jim didn't disagree with that comment.

[The Dark Knight]

I am 100% all for it.

Robin Williams is brilliant at these roles.

"Insomnia", "One Hour Photo" and the Law and Order episode "Authority".

If not The Riddler, I want Williams in B3 doing his creepy stalker thing. Period.

[Azrael]

Well... is this a joke, or legit? "One Hour Photo", "Insomnia" and "The Final Cut" show that he can be a really creepy guy. Since he shows such desire for being in a Batman movie, then why not? I always thought that Nolan would pick someone in his 30s as the Riddler, but when so many actors paraded in those two movies in smaller or bigger supporting roles (including Rutger Hauer and E.R.), then why not Williams?

[Catwoman]

robin williams is awesome. i'd like him as the riddler.

[The Joker]

I've always wondered how Robin Williams would be as the Riddler ever since walking out of the theater after seeing Burton's Batman back in 1989.

Wouldn't be opposed to see this finally realized ...

To me, Williams always has had a resemblance to how Edward Nigma was drawn in his first appearance by Dick Sprang, Win Mortimer, and Charles Paris:

I?ve never noticed that before. But yeah, the resemblance is pretty strong.

I suppose most of us have grown accustomed to the Gorshin-look Riddler that appeared from the 60s onwards. But the original Riddler looks strikingly like Williams.

I know he?s a big fan of the comics, so it?d be nice if he could finally have a shot at the character.

"i'll take a picture with my flash camera."

i love how in all of those old comics they had to have everything spelled out.

I had never seen that before, thanks for the little bit of Bat-history.
