Johnny Depp Comments on Riddler Rumors for The Dark Knight Sequel

Source:  Www.youtube.com/watch?v=puEelUfDTkw
During a recent radio interview promoting his band, actor Johnny Depp briefly commented on the recent rumors floating around about him portraying "The Riddler" in The Dark Knight sequel.

Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.

Johnny Depp: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of.

You'd be a good choice.

Johnny Depp: It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah.

No.. He's a geat actor, but he usually does (what am I doing here?) roles...
If not Depp, then a no name, or Foster, or maybe in my opinion Owen.

If Depp doesn't do it then they better get a damn good actor to do it.

he Killed (did great) as Captain Jack S., Edward, Wonka, and Many More

Hugo Weaving would be a good riddler, however I can see Depp doing this, with such banter , at having fun with toying with Batman. Mostly the commissioner. Like I said before, i can picture Depp saying something like, "You shouldn't worry when I call you to talk. It's when I stop talking that you should be terrified."
Then again he is a bit too famous for this role, so if Nolan can find a no name to perfectly do it, then be my guest.

I think Roman Sionis (Black Mask) should be the next villain. He should be protrayed by Dominic West. (Jigsaw in Punisher: War Zone, is protrayed by Dominic West).
Roman Sionis could be the new crime lord of Gotham city. Also the masteries of torture.

I had a dif. reaction when i heard him say that. "Fun gig?" That just proves that it's just another wacky role for him. He wouldn't bring anything new to the table

He said it right...it would be a fun gig. That's what I like about Johnny Depp, he's laid back with no worries.

When I saw the Riddler in the old movie, I saw Jim Carrey. I think the same will happen to Johnny Depp. It's better to take another actor to play the role

The Joker was such a spotlight with his deadly humor that made the movie spark even more,so i just hope that the riddler dosent try to have that kind of humor that the joker had and to act more differerent,because if we see the riddler doing the same thing as the joker then we'll feel like if we seen this before.

The Riddler and the wholesome of the Batman franchise is right up his alley. Johnny Depp is best known for his eccentric roles. Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, Jack Sparrow, Sweeney Todd, and on and on. Batman is not an ordinary superhero series. The Joker, Two-Face, RIDDLER, all unusual. Depp in my book would be perfectly suited for the lead villain in Batman 3.

My vote goes for Depp above all others, but I'd be happy to have David Tennant as The Riddler. Anyone but Ben Foster, though. ;)

The comment below me is exactly the reason why I want Ben Foster...thank you, Alex ;)

Depp is great but he's played so many quirky characters already... what was so great about the Joker is we didn't see Heath as Joker we just saw the Joker. Depp plays riddler that's what we are going to see, Depp as the Riddler. I'd like to see Nolan dip into the talent pool and pull out some new talent, or someone not as established. Depp is extremely talented but he's not the only one.
