Ok so i hear talk ( i guess technically i read it but you get the idea) of Johnny depp possible playing the riddler in a new batman movie.  This sounds good to a lot of people but i just feel like they are doing what they did in many other movies and finding a big name to fill a role in a movie.  Now i think Johnny depp is a very talented actor but i have to say that he is not the best choice to play the Riddler.  I think Jude Law would be perfect. Any thoughts?

It's just a rumor even he said it wasn't true.

even if it is a rumor, i thought i saw an interview or quote of him saying he would be interested, maybe im wrong.  Either way im saying i think the character is great but i think jude law would be better than Depp. 

 I think he would be great as Riddler :D

Willy Wonka (Scary but awesome performance)
Jack Sparrow (Enough said)
Eduard Scissorhands (Freaky but also a good performance)
Donny Brasco  (Great movie)
Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hallow he did good as the dr)
Sheldon Sands (I also loved this one)

These are the most known and All these performance have one thing in common, they all won him the best actor award between other awards.

As much as i agree the J depp is a good actor, that is not justification alone, by that means we could say cast Tom Hanks to play bane, because T Hanks is an amazing actor

Yea but we have seen depp play characters that he could use a little bit from to create the riddler. he gets in to his roles like heath leadger did. If you look at his roles he's done, you can tell he can easily take on the role of the riddler and make it gold.

Jude law i like and he fits the look specially with the derby hat but i just dont think that is his type of role.

jude law is the guy in the hat ARMIV

i think daniel day lewis would be a good choice for the riddler hes a well known actor but he has no stereotypical roles the intensity he bring to the screen is amazing i think with how dark and gritty the new batman series has become.

sky captain and the world of tomorrow, the holiday, alfie, Road to perdition (pic above), GATTICA, enemy at the gates and many others i cant think of

BY THE WAY IF THEY MAKE A RIDDLER

NO RED HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well what about the little guy that figured out Bruce Wayne was batman in the Dark Knight? his name was Mr. Reese. If you say it fast, it sounds like mysteries.

You are not the first one to say this.. But I really doubt that after Bruce saved him he will become a bad guy... Even knowing Bruce is Bats..

"Aha! I'm going to kill you Batman for saving my life in TDK"Besides Riddler's name is Eduard Nigma "

lol, yeah that is true. It would be kind of dumb for him to be mad at bruce, but didn't the riddler go crazy because he knew Batman's true identity? "

Okay nerds, this is plain and simple
Nolan has yet to decide if he is going to do a third Batman film, and Johnny Depp has not been cast as the Riddler nor would he make a good Riddler. Though Depp is talented actor he is just not right for the role. All you cyber nerds out there need to realize that there are more than just three actores in the world (Bale, Depp, and Shia Lebough) and try and pick someone that would actually fit the role. For example, look at Heath Ledger, no one would have guessed that he was going to be the Joker, yet he did an amazing job, why is that? Because whoever is in charge of Casting for the series is actually good at it, unlike the rest of you. The only fan picked Riddler that I support is Guy Pearce all the rest (David Tennent, Eddie Murphy, and whoever the hell plays Ben from lost) are just pathetic, they would just kill the Riddler.

P.S anyone who says they are not a retard here is a liar because I have proof that you are retarded
Proof: You believed a rumor that was created by the National Enquire

ok quick comment, the issue was really not about the legitamacy of the rumor, which i just hoped was a rumor, but about jude law and whether he would make a good riddler if they had the riddler in another batman movie,, calm down, p.s. agree about the 3 actor thing

Besides Riddler's name is Eduard Nigma "

Ok, the way I see it is: Yes, Depp would have something to bring to the Riddler to  bring him out....however what he has; 1 his fame and the wacky personality of his roles gets him almost in the right mindset already, Also messes his part up. His fame would make it so as he acted you would not be seeing the riddler you would be seeing depp, possibly as jack or sweeny, and all the wacky roles he's played messes him up because all of his wackiness makes him usually seem almost drunk, and the last flaw that I see and to me the most important.: If you watch he stands straight up or swaggers depending on the part and his hand motions when he talks are always close to his body showing sluggishness....always. If you examine the riddler  especially Gorshin he is hunched over like he's always ready to pounce, his huge hand motions and body language expressing vast ammounts of energy, exceedingly hyper, complete contrast to sluggish. The best choice would be someone fairly unknown but with enough experience that he's good and he needs to have examined the riddler's character enough that he can get inside his head enough to know what his next move would be.

i think johnny depp could play the riddler almost as well as heath played the joker

im thinking someone like Jeremy renner, someone talented but not necessarily a big name
