Robin Williams still wants to be The Riddler

Back before Batman Forever began casting, the role of the Riddler was being determined between Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. Even though I don’t personally think this is the case, lots of fans are noticing a potential mimic in Nolan’s third Batman film, reaching us July 2012. There was a wicked looking fan-made poster for the untitled, un-cast Batman film, hinted at the film’s speculated villain: The Riddler.

Now, Robin Williams is at it again. “I would do Batman in a second, playing anyone, I’d play The Riddler in the next one, although it would be hard to top Heath as the villain and I’m a little hairy for tights… The Batman films have screwed me twice before: years ago they offered my The Joker and then gave it to Jack Nicholson, then they offered me The Riddler and gave it to Jim Carrey. I’d be like, ‘OK, is this a real offer? If it is, then the answer’s yes. Don’t pump me again motherf**kers.”

Fans of Christopher Nolan should remember that Nolan cast Williams in Insomnia. Yes, we understand that we can just throw this onto the Batman 3 rumor pile, as speculation once had the very busy Johnny Depp cast as The Riddler. Remember, nothing is concrete yet on this film, outside of the date.
