This could be interesting!!!

Maybe we could all get behind this and show Warner Bros. it could work.

 Stephan Colbert is already the Riddler in real life. Just yesterday he was holding Gotham city hostage and was leaving an ornate trail of clues involving two dead boys and a handful of pins. I don't know what the clues led to, but obviously Batman figured it out because Gotham was saved and Stephan was put behind bars. Why would they want the real Riddler to play himself in a movie?

I'm a pretty big fan of Colbert but i'm not so sure if he's Riddlery enough for this

I think this could be pretty darn great. I'd get behind a push for this.

How about hell no.... I'm normally tolerant about movie casts but I just don't want to see Colbert -_-

who?.....

i'm for depp.

IDK, now that I think about it Colbert could easily be the Riddler. He has the Riddler's goofy facade while being a very smart and sophisticated person. While Depp would bring out the Creepiness in the Riddler like Ledger did with the Joker. While it worked for the Joker IDK if it would work for the RIddler. Maybe if he is able to bring together his Willy Wonka and Secret Window character then it might work. If Depp gets the role I'll be happy but right now I'm leaning toward Colbert, he's the closest thing to the Riddler in real life.

This would be interesting as hell

I've never seen Colbert in a serious acting roll, not to say that it isn't in him to do it. But this idea is crazy enough to work. I like it!  :)

Micheal Emerson would play the perfect Riddler if they write him as the obssessed, intelligent, calculating individual he really is.

" No to Riddler. No to recasting Joker. The next movie needs a character people aren't familar with so they can be a presence rather than will they top Ledger as Joker. A good villain for the next movie could be Hugo Strange, Hush, Black Mask or even the first Batman villain the Vampire Werewolf hybrid The Monk.   "

i could see him as the riddler..... it would be very interesting....

ok!

Colbert would be perfect as anything.

understood Depp was going for the role. Colbert would be fine but
he wont beat Depp in the selection process if he stays with it.

Colbert can play anyone and I'll still watch

In an one word, people, no.  Colbert is great a satire but he is not an actor.
 
If  Robert Downey wasn't already Tony Stark I think he would have been the best cast.  He has the right level of acting skills, comedic timing and dark menace.  Johnny Deep is the best of those mentioned and I don't think his prior film roles are an issue at all.  One because Deep is real chameleon when he comes to his roles and his iconic roles came late in his career so they don't type cast him.  

I'd like to see David Tennant as Riddler

This would be awesome!

"

I'm for David Tennant as the riddler. "

Now that I thoght about it Michael C. Hall would be great choice for a Dark Knight universe Riddler.

i could see it

How about nobody as the Riddler.

Colbert can do no wrong.
 
"Quick hire this man!"

Colbert is too old, and would definitely turn this role down anyway. He has a contract for a show on Comedy Central that runs 4 nights out of the week. I very much doubt he would leave the show to film a movie, even if he were able to. Aside from that, no casting director would cast an out-of-shape 45-year-old non-actor opposite Christian Bale. It makes no sense. Then there's the fact that Colbert makes no secret of the fact that he is a huge Marvel fan. I just don't see this happening/working in any capacity.     

I think Colbert would make a great riddler, but part of the appeal of the Nolanverse Batman is that its all very subdued.  Casting Colbert would be like casting a 900lb gorilla.  Everyone would be looking at the screen thinking to themselves "that's Colbert".  Nolan, I suspect, would rather have the audience looking at the screen and thinking "that's Riddler".

Depp. 

The Riddler is a character that I’m very fond of and given quite a bit of thought to. He’s most often associated with the Frank Gorshin portrayal from the Adam West Batman series, which was really nothing but a two-bit Joker with nothing but a different gimmick. What I oftentimes find is that those who really dislike the Riddler are usually only familiar with this poor man’s Joker depiction, being oblivious to him really been innovated into his own shoes for quite some time now. He’s arguably never even come close to reaching his true potential on film. Don’t even get me started on Jim Carrey…UGH!

He’s become a very cold, calculating, and eerily calm criminal, arguably especially thanks to the Batman the Animated Series incarnation. The almost goofily manic Joker-inspired side has been eliminated entirely. His relationship represents a very profound dichotomy with his archrival, something that many of the Batman rogues share. The Joker represents the chaos to Batman’s order.  Both Batman and Scarecrow utilize fear as a tool for their goals, one for the dark, one the light. Two-face is the literal embodiment of the dichotomy itself. Catwoman shows what Bruce could have, Batman shows what he is. The Riddler is no different. Batman, the so-called World’s Greatest Detective, always thrives for the answers, Riddler provides the questions. All his best foes play off of some defining aspect of the Dark Knight.

The fascinating thing about the Riddler is his psychology, this uncontrollable obsessive-compulsive disorder that completely dictates every action he makes as a criminal. He’s stuck in a rut and the most interesting part is that he eventually becomes outright aware of it being his defining flaw. He knows that the very thing at which he excels (riddles) is ultimately what leads Batman into defeating him every time. Low the irony! Yet his anal-retentiveness leaves him physically incapable of not leaving a clue behind, even though it’ll be to blame for his eventual and inevitable failure. Thus would he succeed if he excludes his queries from his crimes? There’s the real riddle…

Johnny Depp is an amazing actor, I cannot deny that, but he’s not an Edward Nigma. The character’s just not a pretty boy. True the same was said for Ledger, whom I don’t bandwagon subscribe to as being the best thing to happen to the Joker anyway, but physically Jokers way more malleable. I don’t want some visually edgy “punk rock” Riddler. The personality matches far more with a conservative look, much like his contemporary green business suit and subtle but crucial question mark insignias. My personal choice is David Hyde Pierce. He’s got sophistication to him that I feel is necessary for the role, plus just listen to his voice. I find it ideal.

I’d want his shtick to be edgier though. A bit like the Saw films, but with very cryptic riddles involved. I wouldn’t necessarily make him a serial killer in the vein of Joker, he’s not all that hands-on, but I would make him homicidal. In fact, I’ve been playing a puzzle game that I’d like his riddles to feel similar too. I freaking challenge you to play this all alone at four in the morning with the lights off: http://www.grngecko.com/torment.html

honestly colbert would probably be pretty entertaining, but i like the johnny depp rumor more

I thought the 2nd Batman was almost a flop ! Joker blew there was no humor ,no similarity at all to who the Joker really is .  And I'm tired of the copy the other Batman villains from the other movie's ! I would like to see a Batman movie with Clay face as the villain ! The 1st Batman movie was great with Scare Crow and R.A.  Also I think  the 2nd movie would have made more since had commissioner Gordon's wife and son were killed by Two Face !!
