I didn't even know about this before now. Johnny Depp is supposedly playing The Riddler (A very good villain, I must admit) for the next Batman movie.

For those that don't know the Riddler:

"The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles and word games. He delights in forewarning both Batman and the police of his capers by sending them complex clues. The character is often depicted as wearing a domino mask either with a green suit and bowler hat, or a green jumpsuit. His trademark is a green question mark.

The Riddler is typically portrayed as a smooth-talking, yet quirky, victim of an intense obsessive compulsion. This was first introduced in the 1965 issue of Batman (titled, "The Remarkable Ruse of The Riddler") in which he tries to refrain from leaving a riddle, but fails. This compulsion has been a recurring theme, as shown in a 1999 issue of Gotham Adventures, in which he tried to commit a crime without leaving a riddle, but fails: "You don't understand. .. I really didn't want to leave you any clues. I really planned never to go back to Arkham Asylum. But I left you a clue anyway. So I... I have to go back there. Because I might need help. I... I might actually be crazy." - From Wikipedia.

I think he'll be good, because he's an amazing actor, but I am honestly a little worried. Even though Depp has a cinematic portfolio basically made up of eccentric characters, I don't think The Riddler is quite like anything he's ever done before. Any Comments?
