Johnny Depp to play the Riddler in Batman 3

[Vteckidd]

The Dark Knight" is still on the tip of everyone's tongue. But now, instead of folks breathlessly asking each other if they've seen it, talk has turned to speculation over Batman's next foe. Who's it gonna be?

iVillage is reporting that the Caped Crusader may take on the Riddler in "Batman 3." According to the rumor mill, Johnny Depp might sign on to play the nefarious super-criminal. But caveat emptor—this could be just as false as the one about Crispin Glover playing the Joker.

Slashfilm notes that there are additional possibilities floating around. For instance, Phillip Seymour Hoffman may play the Penguin or Angelina Jolie could don Catwoman's skin-tight suit. Truth or fiction, fanboys around the world must be having a heart attack at the mere possibility.

Still, the "official" rumor mill is just one of the ways superfans are checking in on the next Batman flick. Many seek the scoop themselves. We've noticed impressive searches on "batman 3 rumors," "dark knight sequel casting rumors," and "batman's next villain."

That last query is very telling. People clearly want to know the answer, but we doubt even the filmmakers have decided. To that end, may we offer the studio execs this humble piece of Search-informed advice: Go with Catwoman. She's far-and-away the most popular baddie and there are already a slew of searches on possible cast members including Jessica Biel, Amy Adams, and, wait for it, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Do fans think Rachel Dawes, Bruce Wayne's one-and-only, was really the Catwoman all along?

Supposedly Maggie Gylennhal signed on for 2 movies. And since you never saw her die, it would be plausible shes catwoman

ooooo I hadn't thought of that.

Depp is exactly what I was hoping for if they brought in the Riddler. I never heard the rumor about Crispin Glover doing the Joker, he would've been great. Maybe not as good as Ledger, but we'll never know.

I thought it was confirmed that it will be Depp?

[DESTRO_91]

I just hope they don't stray away from the darker versions of batman and try to shoot for a younger demgraphic by making it kid-friendly.

Haha yeah, I'd bet money that Nolan isn't going to take the same direction as the previous Batman series.

now why the hell would they do that? the past 2 that nolan did were darker and guess who's doin the 3rd? Nolan.

[americanctm]

Nolan has already said that he will only do realistic batman villians and he will not do catwoman. He has been quoted saying he will not do the penguin or the catwoman so i don't know why everybody keeps talking about those two villains... The Riddler is most likely going to be used in the next batman film, and Johnny Depp would be an awesome choice for that character

I though they confirmed that CHER was going to play catwoman in the next batman

That's a separate movie, there's no way in hell Nolan would pull some weak **** like that for one of his Batman movies. Depp is surely going to pick up after Ledger for the model of a batman villain, and is going to do a damn good job at it imo.

That's a separate movie, there's no way in hell Nolan would pull some weak **** like that for one of his Batman movies.Actually, it was Nolan's idea. He wants to portay Catwoman in her "twilight years" and not as the seductive figure that has been portrayed in previous films.


"Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."

Depp as the Riddler? No thanks.

Bale: "You are?"
Depp: "Edmund Jack Sparrow Nigma. You may call me the Riddler!"

:no:

I know it was Nolan's idea, but I'm telling you there's no way he would put Cher in as Catwoman in one of the Batman movies. He's already said he doesn't want to do Catwoman in the series at all, he knows that would piss people off. If he wants to make a separate movie, whatever I still don't plan on seeing it. Depp is going to do well, he's a great actor. I can definitely see him going to a darker side to pull this off. Look at Ledger, he'd never done anything like the Joker and he obviously did a damn good job. Only time will tell.

[The_ CaneCorso]

Its a cane corso. Mine goes in heat in a month.ALSO yes jim carrey was the riddler but those older batmans were getting hooky! I like the NEW batman

[The_ CaneCorso]

Speaking of separate movies. Next year Wolverine will be finished and yes its hugh jackman

[Ran]

Speaking of separate movies. Next year Wolverine will be finished and yes its hugh jackmanGonna be honest, that movie looks like crap. More-so because they introduced the failure known as Gambit.
