Is there any chance at all we'll ever see the Riddler

>>92824874
Stupid question. Batman won't ever die, so as long as humanity keeps going Riddler will show up in films over and over again.

Other villains will always take priority because Riddler is too hard to write.

>>92824972
Dini did it

>>92824874
SHIT

shouldve been johnny depp riddler in TDKR instead of Hardy making Bane into Connery with a facial deformity.

Not high.

Physically he doesn't pose much of a threat, and writers always have trouble writing his schemes and riddles.

This. Riddler would work in a more deduction/detective-based movie or serial format where Batman has to work out what each clue means, move on to the next. The riddles have to be really hard to prove both how smart Riddler and Batman are, since if they're easy or simple brain teasers, then why can't anyone else in Gotham's police force solve them? Which is a difficult proposition for even the best writers. And Riddler himself has never been a physical threat to Batman (there's probably a few instances of him putting up a fight, but no one ever says to Batman 'wow! You were able to defeat the Riddler in hand-to-hand combat?!'), so even the final confrontation between them won't really be that cinematic.

He was pretty great in Batman V Superman

>>92825279
I feel like this is one of the reasons why we won't be seeing Penguin take a major role in a film any time soon.

>>92824906
He's only shown up once in a film and it was horrible.

Gotham's Riddler is literally the first good live-action actor to portray him since Frank fucking Gorshin. Prior to that, all we had to rely on for good non-comic Riddlers was the Arkham series and the three episodes he showed up in in B:TAS.

>>92826112
"by" should be "with" for your comment to make sense, foreignfag. And even still it's quite a flimsy comeback considering you're resorted to an intentional misunderstanding of a common phrase to do so.

A better comeback could've been "Into your sisters socks" or something.

>>92826286
This makes no sense, though. Joker was also not a physically imposing villain, all his tension was brought on by schemes and fucking with Batman mentally. The main difference between him and Riddler's motives is that Riddler wants to find someone who will be his better half and Joker just wants to break people to be like him.

>>92826635
Yes, putting a meme into someone's socks makes a lot of sense.

And to do something 'by your own hands' means doing it yourself.

So congratulations. By trying to look smart, you've actually shown you're a dumbass.

Probably this, sadly. Best we can hope for is a one-off scene.

>>92826635
How do you spread a meme into a sock?

>>92824972
Just do what Gotham did.
>A single clue left behind to his whereabouts
>He says a riddle relevant to the situation before unleashing death trap
>He has a death trap and wants the person to just answer random riddles to test their knowledge

Writers act like they have to do some weird avant garde bullshit to pull him off.

I think he's fantastic in this and still think it sucks he's stuck as just a side quest every single time. Also giving him a robot in the final game was really fucking stupid.

>The Batman Riddler
They got his personality down, but what they did with his mannerisms, voice, and design, he may as well have been an entirely new villain.

>>92825278
Bane was the best thing to happen to capeshit.

With the current trend of studios having to churn out capeshit on a conveyor belt, I think Riddled would be too hard and time consuming to write for Hollywood writers.

The only way we'all get a decent Riddler is if WB puts someone who has a passion for Batman like Snyder, Nolan, or the Arkham writers on it.

>>92827450
The Batman Riddler is good, he just has virtually nothing to do with the Riddler

Who would you like to play him?

Dennis Reynolds imo

>>92834322
I agree.
As much as people say Glenn Howerton should play the Joker, I'd think he'd do a much better job as the Riddler.

>>92834382
He certainly has the Arkham-style freakouts down

>>92833562
Honestly, his "Edward Nygma" identity was a legitimately decent template for a GOAT Riddler. It's a shame both he and TLJ were wasted on such poorly written characterizations, if they were allowed to take themselves a little more seriously, Batman Forever might have even been better than Burton's first two movies.

Well, at least I'm glad we didn't get that Riddler in your pic.

Anyway, it's possible somebody works some sort of hacker Riddler into the movie, but he would have to be along someone who guarantees a final fight full of CHI, because apparently it's how all sueprhero movies should end now.

>>92836763
Nah, last time I saw him was in The Descendants
But every Bat-related character in the DCEU is old ('cept Harley), so I don't think age matters. Lillard is almost as old as Affleck.

>>92824972
Jesse Eisenberg's Lex luthor would've been more palapable if he was playing Riddler.

>>92824874
Willem Dafoe should've been The Joker and Jared Leto should've been The Riddler. If you disagree with this you are just wrong

>>92837452
I disagree with Leto being the Riddler because he's never played a good villain once.

Dafoe as Joker could work though

Riddler is only as smart as the writer and most comic writers aren't very smart.

I agree. And honestly the casting was perfect too.
The only thing Burton's and Schumacher's movies have in common is that they picked perfect choices for the villains (and that includes Arnie as Freeze).
>It's a shame both he and TLJ were wasted on such poorly written characterizations
Yeah. As it's been said, it was a shame that they ended up just playing discount Jokers
>Batman Forever might have even been better than Burton's first two movies.
Wow okay let's not go that far.
