Michael Caine reveals Batman 3 villain.

I know there were rumors about this, but this is the closest thing to actual confirmation that I have heard of. 

You know  johnny depp has really good potential on this part if thats tue... lets just hope none of the villians try to being jokerish

If they do the Riddler right it should be pretty good.  Even though I love Jim Carrey, his Riddler was awful, and painful to watch.  So as long as they do not cast someone like Jack Black I'll be happy.

Aww, I was just starting to like batman again and now Johnny Depp? Well, everyone else in the world will love him, but I hate him :\

I think this movie would be better served by casting the villian with a new actor or at least someone who is relatively new.

I'm okay with the Riddler, although I am hoping at some point the current DC movie bigwigs decide to correct the image of Selina Kyle so grossly destroyed in the Halle Berry Catwoman crap-fest by including her in one of the Batman Begins sequels.  I'm not sure I'd go with Depp though to play the role of Edward Nygma.  I think I'd prefer someone less well known but with some decent acting chops.  I don't know who, though.  Maybe Adrian Brody if they want a Riddler in Batman's age range or Ryan Gosling if they want someone younger.

The Riddler is one of the best villains in Batman's rogues gallery. I really hope the do him proper.

I like the rumors that have been circulating around (though not sure if they're rumors or "wishful thinking") of their being a Riddler movie in the mood of Se7en, much like Dark Knight was in the mood of Heat. The idea of a calm, collected serial killer who can't help but leave compulsive clues about his next crime in a dissociative cry for help I think could be compelling, especially if Batman was having to battle public opinion and the police along the way.

Really though, anything is going to be a let down. I kind of wish that Warner Brothers would just walk away from the franchise for a good long while, but fat chance of that happening.

I'm pretty sure the director hinted at the Riddler last year, but whatever.

Didn't he say something similar some time ago? I remember reading an article where he says WB were talking to Johnny Deep and Phillip Hoffman to do The Riddler and The Penguin respectively, Hoffman denied the rumours though.

This might be interesting,very interesting.

First off, this is not even a rumor, its just Cain speculating and nothing more. He has no clue about the script and has no idea what this movie is about, nor when it will even begin production. 

Why does everyone hate Johnny Depp? He's the perfect choice for the Riddler.

The Riddler is great but Johnny Depp isn't. If it's him, then really, I will have zero interest in the next Batman.

i put my money on Catwoman making it into the next Batman film. The Riddler would also be a good candidate. who knows, they might have both characters in the movie.

anyway, i would also like to use this oppurtunity to say that i think TDK was a bad movie and is the most overrated movie i have ever seen....ok, done. ( this is strictly my own opinion)

Yeah, Jim Carrey is more Joker than Riddler.

But Johnny Depp seems a perfect Riddler.

my perfect batman 3 would be the killing joke but ledger fucked that up.

There's just something about Johnny Depp that makes me not like him. Pretty sure it's his face. Not sure why though.

bring back Jim Carrey as the Riddler... but serious actor Jim Carrey. Not goofy Jim Carrey.

Called it the minute The Dark Knight was done.

I'm pretty sure the Depp would A) be the wrong direction to go with the character, and B) won't be. As someone else said, Nolan likes to mainly cast and work with people who aren't superstars quite yet, Morgan Freeman's voice not withstanding. I could see someone vaguely known by us really inhabiting that role and owning it, much in the same way that Heath Ledger owned the Joker. I think part of the way that Ledger disappeared into the role was his work being varied and (relatively) short already; I've seen enough of Johnny Depp that I see a bit of him in all his performances now.

That said, Public Enemies looks neat.

You know who else would be a good riddler? Robert Downey Jr. Either he or Depp would have to be Ledger, and since the other two batman movies in this generation have had two villians, the other one has to be Catwoman. 

Yeah I can really see johnny Depp playing the riddler.

I certainly couldn't complain about this. ALL ABOARD!

Riddler is a bit to similar to Joker they both have huge grins andcreepy laughs and the only thing that destinguishes riddler from joker is his gimmicky riddles i think they should just bring back harvey.... no catwoman or penguin please.... or mr freeze....goddamit arnold

Old rumor that was trumped a LOOOONG time ago.  On top of which, there isn't even a script being written at the moment for the movie as far as anyone knows...so...
