Smile Jim Carey was a good riddiler

He may have been a good riddler, but if you dont think so tell me who you would have used to play him.

I just didn't like the look of him. It wasn't Jim Carrey, it was the way the character looked. Also he was crazy to the extreme. Too much for me. That's just my opinion

I thought Jim Carrey was an awesome Riddler. But, yeah, he was more crazy than evil and clever. The craziness could've been toned down just a bit, but other than that, I thought the character was great, except for the hair...lol. I always pictured him with brown hair, not red...

Looking back at what Burton left them to work wit, I'm surprised they made him as entertaining and loyal (while flawed) as they did. In the future, there are a few people I wouldn't mind to see as Riddler: Steve Buscemi, Bill Fichtner (the bank manager in TDK), even Johnny Depp (despite all the hype). There is only one man however I feel IS as much Riddler as Patrick Stewart IS Charles Xavier and Christopher Reeve WAS Superman...

Michael Emerson.

No question.

i do like batman forever a lot (for what it is...a fun light-hearted take on batman)...and i think jim carrey was a good choice for that particular movie...however now that i've seen the 2 latest batman movies they make him look like a joke. what is so great about heath ledger's joker is that you actually fear him and find him creepy (at least i sure did...some scenes i actually felt nervous). what chris nolan does so well is make you fear or dislike the villains in the 2 movies...

in batman forever you kind of find the riddler fun and in a way sort of an innocent character. he's so playful that you forget he's a bad guy. would love to see a riddler in a chris nolan batman movie...i bet he could be incredibly menacing and creepy and scary.

I'd like to see David Tennant as The Riddler. He'd be great at playing a darker and more menacing version of him, while at the same time he could be funny and joking. He also looks more of the type to be The Riddler.

I've heard Tennant's name around for The Riddler in some circles. I've never seen him in action, so I can't say. Which of his roles do you think I should I check out first? What do you think of Emerson? So far, I'm pretty stubborn about him being the next Riddler. We'll see if CN even uses the character to begin with.

kept seeing you mention emerson and i wasn't clear on who he was...then i looked up his name and all i saw was Lost and i knew EXACTLY who it was before even looking any further. he would be pretty excellent. but i do think that if the character is used he could be a bit more menacing and creepier. i think the riddler has potential of being even crazier than the joker.

i saw something quite interesting on the history channel about the villains of batman. one of the most interesting ones was the riddler. in his spot, someone mentioned that the riddler was very much like the zodiac killer. what makes him like the zodiac is that he's very cocky and leaves clues (riddles) as to who he is. the only thing is people receive his clues or letters when it's to late. i thought it was a very interesting take on the character. anyone who has ever seen anything on the zodiac knows that he is one of the CREEPIEST killers that ever lived. some of the stories about him and his killings give you chills down your spine just listening to them.

i don't know, however, how that character would fit into the story that chris nolan has already begun. but done properly, it could be really cool.
