They need to do Mr. Freeze goddamnit!!!! Have him freeze up the entire city or something. Such a cool villain. Arnold did him no justice
I think the Joker has been elevated to a legendary status and will be pretty impossible to match, unless whoever plays the say Riddler in the next film lives and breathes the Riddler and dies. As well people like the Dark slant on things, Carrey a comedian I thought was good, but to be popular and for this series the Riddler needs to be more diabolical. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 6 2008, 03:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>They need to do Mr. Freeze goddamnit!!!!

There is potential for the Riddler to step in and "cooperate" with the police to take down Batman (he is considered a bad guy now, after all). I know in the comics, the Riddler ends up forgoing crime in favour of becoming a freelance investigator. Obviously, it'd be a segway into more complicated/interesting developments but it could be a start.
I think Depp could do a good job playing The Riddler. Carrey was okay, but everyone thought he was the perfect man for the role, and expected great. Arnold sucks. <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VNaDZIrxh-0&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VNaDZIrxh-0&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div> <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AJWpmPGCR1c&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AJWpmPGCR1c&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>
Arnold was golden. I would also like to see Jim Carry as Riddler. I think he was awesome and he's great at those roles. Just takes his craziness from Cable Guy with the Mask and BAM! Riddler.

Let me just come out and say it. Johnny Depp would totally suck as the Riddler and his casting would destroy the franchise. Also, a dark Riddler doesn't have to be anything like a dark Joker. I see the Riddler as being more sane and calculating as opposed to the Joker's being a wild card. As for the casting, I think it should be someone that can project a more sinister and sadistic streak than Johnny Depp ever could. I was thinking of someone more like Valentine Pelka who played Kronos, leader of the Four Horsemen, in Highlander the Series.
You act like Depp can't act. How many people thought Heath Ledger would do an awesome job as The Joker? He blew us away with his performance.
I've been brainstorming & man is it cloudy here in Utah. Seriously(?); I'll add 2 more Brits to the mix; Hugh Laurie aka Greg House or Rowan Atkinson.

I'm saying that he would be a colossal mistake as the Riddler. Maybe I'm wrong. I doubt it, but maybe. If he ended up playing the Riddler like Jack Sparrow, I would be sick. I just can't see Depp reaching the level of grit that the Riddler would need to make the next movie successful. I like the suggestion of Hugh Laurie.
Depp wouldn't be considered a great actor if he wasn't versatile. Why would he play Riddler like Jack Sparrow? Each role requires a different persona. Even though it was a musical, Depp was pretty gritty as Sweeney Todd. I think he can pull of being the Riddler, but it's not like he's the only choice for the character.
Depp isnt a very good choice for the riddler, the choice is so hard to make. David Tennent was rumoured to have interest in playing the riddler. I think that they'll go with the riddler in the next movie, if there is one. seems to make the most sense.
I think Johnny Depp has lost a lot of respect as an actor because of his role as Jack Sparrow and how commercial it became, but it still was an awesome role. He can act, one of the better actors out there IMO. I think he could easily pull off the Riddler.
