    I know. I see that picture and hope that he breaks out into "Singing in the Rain" with that suit, cane, and top hat.

      I liked the Mock-up fake poster that had David Tennant from Dr. Who as the Riddler more than that NPH one.

        NPH in a Batman movie?

        That would be legen-wait for it....... it would suck.

        I'm with you guys, I see him and I want to laugh. More specifically, I see him and I see Barney Stinson. That's who he is to me.

          If Nolan were to cast NPH, I would believe he could pull it off. People were ragging on Heath Ledger until the first trailer.

            Yes, but Heath Ledger wasn't playing Heath Ledger as The Joker, he was just playing The Joker. He hid behind a completely different persona with nearly no way to link himself to the character behind the makeup, voice changes, and mannerisms. Whoever plays The Riddler, we will see them very much as the actor who is playing the character and not just the character himself.

            If Nolan casts someone, I believe he is doing it for good reason and thusly I trust him. But I will not blindly say that NPH can pull it off simply because he's a talented actor. I need to believe that I'm not just seeing NPH up on screen and instead I'm seeing The Riddler, if that makes sense.

            It really all depends on what route he goes with the villain, if he indeed chooses that one. For all we know, Jeremy Irons might be casted as The Riddler. There's just no saying until we know what kind of direction the movie will be taken and how they want him to be portrayed.

                The rumors continue as to potential villains that could be involved in the upcoming final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. The latest involves a character that would be less familiar to audiences who haven't followed the comics (or played the Arkham Asylum video game from last year) and has yet to be touched upon




                The rumors continue as to potential villains that could be involved in the upcoming final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The latest involves a character that would be less familiar to audiences who haven’t followed the comics (or played the Arkham Asylum video game from last year) and has yet to be touched upon in any Batman films.
                Killer Croc began in the comics as a powerful man covered in green scales due to a skin condition, which would mesh more with Nolan’s grounded take than how the character was turned to be more of a reptilian monster over the years. It is likely still that The Riddler will be another villain in the movie but Croc could pull Batman out of Gotham.
                The reason Killer Croc is being discussed now is based on Comingsoon.net reporting yesterday that the movie was going to be filming in New Orleans which would certainly seem to be a local that would work for the character. Mark Millar since tweeted that he knew what one of the villains in the movie was and that they would be filming a big scene outside of Gotham involving one of his favorite villains from his childhood. The timing would match for when Croc was first introduced in 1983.
                I like this...

                  Again, as long as Batman and the police don't walk around actually calling the guy "Killer Croc" and it's oh so portrayed in a realistic fashion, I'll have no trouble with it.

                      I just figured they were going to shoot interior stuff in NO because of the huge tax breaks. And Mark Millar is full of ****, anyway.

                      If they do anything in NO (meaning more than just exteriors, but actually use the outside as a plot device), I assumed it would be very much like how they used Hong Kong.

                          Since this is a discussion thread, who would ya'll want to play Waylon Jones (Killer Croc)? Not asking if you want him in the movie, but if he does get in who do you want?

                              That would be funny if he was and if Sam Rockwell was The Riddler. All we'd need after that is for RDJ to be Bruce Wayne and the voice of Jarvis to play Alfred.

                                I HOPE it's not Killer Croc. I mean, I trust Nolan and all but a villain like that doesn't seem to jibe with what he's been doing with the property.

                                Though I do agree with the idea of casting Mickey Rourke in the role.
