Comments on: Michael Caine Says Riddler to be Batman3 Villain http://www.eatsleepgeek.com/batman3_villain/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:21:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Greg Kingsley http://www.eatsleepgeek.com/batman3_villain/comment-page-1/#comment-2014 Greg Kingsley Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:05:13 +0000 http://www.eatsleepgeek.com/?p=1362#comment-2014 I can't imagine another villian more appropriate for a thrid film.  However, I don't think that a Jim Carrey approach to the Riddler would be right, but a more subtle, deadlier approach. I never really cared for Gorshin's campy style, even though it fit with the overall campiness of the 60's Batman TV show. Nolan's Batman has to have villians we can imagine meeting on the streets of reality, not in a circus. So that's going to leave out a lot Batman villians in Nolan's version.   I can’t imagine another villian more appropriate for a thrid film.  However, I don’t think that a Jim Carrey approach to the Riddler would be right, but a more subtle, deadlier approach.

Comics like Hush have proven that the Riddler has the intellectual prowess to go up against many of Gotham's toughest villains and heroes.  Besides, many of Batman's villains (and Batman himself)  have updated their equipment to become more fearsome foes. You can't tell me that the Riddler being a brilliant computer hacker would go against his role in the comics or make him out of character- he was created in 1948,  it's not just OK to update him it's necessary! I think the only reason some guys complain about him is that he's not a very violent villain...death count doesn't necessarily equal a cool villain. It'd be easy to have him and another, more violent villain without becoming Spiderman 3ish. Nolan's proven he can do it and as long as he doesn't go more than two it could work fine.

He could start a gang war right? I’m not too familiar with the DC Universe (Sorry!) but couldn’t Black Mask be the villain in the next movie? He could start a gang war right?

Contrast with super steroids that are supposed to give you the size of 3-5 men and vitals skyrocketing all over the place....Might just be me, but I find Bane a bit farfetched. Any normal person's heart would explode if they went through that. I have to agree in part, Gorshin was awesome, though his portrayal would be considered too campy. He'd probably have that sinister aspect....However, he is the perfect choice considering all those Easter eggs mentioned, and the very fact that Batman's identity is the riddle on everyone's mind, especially after he is accused with Harvey Dent's death. Who other than the Riddler would you associate with unraveling such a mystery bit by bit throughout the course of the movie?
