plus Clive Swift, Norman Lovett (Holly from Red Dwarf) and Chris Barrie (Arnold Rimmer from red Dwarf) would make a good ventriloquist.

I still think Ed Norton or Hugh Laurie should be cast as Riddler.

And can see Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Riddler.

Selina is white...


In Batman: Year one, Selina Kyle is portrayed as African American, so it would be nice if a black actress pays Catwoman.


Agreed, though I would personally choose Gabrielle Union.

Also, I think Jim Carrey would make a much better Joker than Ledger. He has the kind of zany quality that an evil clown like the Joker needs. Ledger, on the other hand, made the Joker nothing more than a generic growling sociopath.

if John Simm plays the Riddler, he should play the Character in a simular way to which he played the Master in Doctor Who.

No i think Julian Bleach who played Davros from the new series of Doctor Who would make a better Joker than Jim Carrey.

What if the Riddler was a famous detective brought into GPCD to find and apprehend The Batman? If you remember at the end he is now a wanted man for the murder of Harvey Dent.

i disagree. I mean. I know that Harley is depicted as being a younger intern, or whatever, in the comic books. I never read the comic books though so i cannot say that i am particularly. . . attached.


Any realistic adaptation of a harley quinn storyline would see the character being older and if there is one thing nolan is going for, it is realism, and having seen the later harry potter movies and bonham's bellatrix interpretation, i think she could easily pull off a warped protegee of the joker. Aside from her age, she is perfect . . . in my opinion

my personal preference is for the Penguin; he's my all time favorite Bat villain.

That said....I think the best casting decision in the world would be Matt Frewer as the Riddler.

Hear me out on this:

I know a lot of people think Johnny Depp would be great for the role, but my problem with this is that Johnny Depp is what I refer to as a "failsafe" actor; basically, he's the actor you get when there's really no one else you can put in the role. Hell, throw a fat suit on him, you got the Penguin; that simple.

Thing is...I don't want someone who'd be "great for the role"; I want someone who's gonna nail the role. Heath Ledger spoiled us with the Joker, and he played it to a T( in fact, if you saw Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, he for all intents and purposes pretty much showed he just keeps playing the Joker after the Dark Knight...proving it was the one role he learned to really make an impact with...yet little else).

Well, the last guy to play the Riddler was Jim Carrey, and to be frank I think he did a very good job emulating Frank Gorshin. Now, a lot of people say that Jim Carrey ripped off a lot of his routine from Matt Frewer's "Max Headroom".

So...picture Matt Frewer doing a Max Headroom-style routine, but a lot darker. Tell me that right there wouldn't be the perfect Riddler.

No it wouldn't. Jim Carrey was the absolute worst Riddler we have ever got on screen. The Riddler is not a hyperactive buffoon he is a cold, calculating sociopath. So nobody that would be similar to Jim Carrey or Frank Gorshin should play Edward Nygma.

have you ever actually watched a Max Headroom routine? I suggest you do...then you'd understand what I'm talking about.

And no....Riddler hasn't always been some cold, calculating sociopath; check out even his earlier appearances in comics....and then again in the '60s; that was the Riddler Jim Carrey played.

The Silver Age comics are no Longer Canon, Why don't you go read the Hush Storyline to realize how the real Riddler is. The Silver Age was largely hated by true Comic Fans because the FCC got involved and started censoring comics and making guidelines on what you could have regarding violence and evil. Villains like The Joker and The Riddler got the worst of that completely destroying their characters. Luckily they completely destroyed that universe which is why everything is all good now.
