Eh, I don't know how well you can do a "real life" version of the Riddler. After the Joker, the rest of the Batman villians are so zany, with totally unrealistic origin stories, I'm not sure how well they will fit into Christopher Nolan's dark, gritty, very uncomedic vision of the Batman universe. To be honest, I think Bane (Roid freak) or even Mr. Freeze (Bank robber who used liquid nitrogen to break locks) would be eaiser, than a goof ball who leaves riddles for his crimes. Unless he is a Se7en-style murderer leaving clues; that might be cool.

dont understand how you "cant" do a real life riddler, considering hes always been "real life"

The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in forewarning both Batman and the police of his capers by sending them complex clues. With this self-conscious use of a gimmick, the Riddler's crimes are flamboyant and ostentatious. The character is often depicted as wearing a domino mask either with a green suit and bowler hat, or a green jumpsuit. A black or purple question mark serves as his visual motif.

The Riddler is typically portrayed as a smooth-talking, yet quirky, victim of an intense obsessive compulsion.

and yes the style you mentioned is how hes always been.....

Unlike most of the other prominent members of Batman's rogues gallery, the Riddler is not a psychopathic murderer; rather, he is a malignant narcissist with an ego that rivals or may even surpass that of the Joker. He commits his crimes in order to flaunt his intellectual superiority and a large portion of his crimes are non-violent in nature. While the Riddler's behavior may often appear insane to some, it is in fact the result of a deep seated neurosis. As such Batman's direct conflicts with the Riddler are typically more cerebral than physical and usually involve defeating him non-violently.

Johnny Depp as the Riddler, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin.

Original.

ftr i would want daniel day lewis as riddler. would be incredible imo.

Yea, Daniel Day Lewis can pretty much do any part. But he only takes a few roles from time to time, and they have to be pretty good. I'd be surprised if he'd consider doing a Batman movie.

now i would normally agree, but this isnt just a batman movie with dumb characters and plot. its dark, it has a history now with heath ledger winning an oscar for his role, he is friends with ledger (was) and christopher nolan is a damn good director. DDL Would thrive as riddler imo....he did gangs of new york (big budget, big name actors) he COULD do this...

I think he may look at it as "been done before" sort of thing. The dark Batman is no longer new, and probably won't get huge recognition anymore. A large part of the reason The Dark Knight did well was the death of Ledger.

But you may be right. And I agree, I think he would be phenomenal. Daniel Day is probably my favorite actor right now, so I'd love it.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By strato · Posted

      You are too harsh. Owners tell GMs what to do all the time. It doesn’t make someone “unfit”.  A man unfit for that job could not have had that 2025 draft.  And I am not trying to be belligerent I certainly don’t feel belligerent,  just trying to use some common sense. Tepper is the last guy that wants to give up on Young. The coach had WRs throwing fits on field and sidelines in view of everyone. He had to do it, but needed permission. I just can’t buy Tepper instigating that. Sorry.

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.
