    Batman sequel to The Dark Knight: Johnny Depp to play The Riddler?


    Johnny Depp is being tipped to play The Riddler in the sequel to The Dark Knight.


    Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker has set the bar high for Gotham City villains, but reports in the US say studio bosses have set their sights on Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.

    "Producers are convinced that the role of The Riddler is perfect for Depp. Johnny's a pro. He'll be able to take direction and still make the character his own. And what better Penguin is there than Philip Seymour Hoffman?" a source said.

    They could be joining Angelina Jolie - the actress is reported to be after the role of Catwoman.

    The Riddler was played by Jim Carrey in 1995 film Batman Forever and Frank Gorshin in the Sixties television series. As for The Penguin, he was portrayed on the small screen by Burgess Meredith and in 1992 film Batman returns by Danny DeVito.

    Plans for the sequel are yet to be announced but it is likely to star Christian Bale reprising his role as The Caped Crusader.

    The Dark Knight has smashed box office records in the US, taking $314 million in just 10 days.

    There is even talk of it challenging anic to become the biggest movie of all time. anic took $600 million in the US. The Dark Knight certainly looks set to reach second place in the all-time chart and beat Star Wars, which made $460 million.

    Moriarty’s BUZZKILL! Where Dumb Rumors Go To Die! BATMAN 3!

    Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

    You know, a good 2/3 of all stupid Internet movie rumors that gain any traction whatsoever could be stopped cold in their tracks if people would just think. I know it's Hollywood, but logic does still apply.

    I’m not going to promise BUZZKILL as a regular column, but when the situation presents itself, maybe we should trot this one out from time to time.

    First, let’s talk about BATMAN 3.

    Or better yet, let’s not. For about a year. Since that’s the earliest you’ll hear anything that could remotely be called news about characters or casting or the script or anything. A year from now. Not next week. Not next month. It will be a while.

    Christopher Nolan’s next film will not be about Batman. I think you can pretty much count on that. And until Christopher Nolan officially says, “I’m not making another Batman film,” no one else is going to. He is absolutely, 100% going to be given first refusal on the next film, and right now, that’s it. That’s all the news there is.

    I repeat... so we’re clear... Christopher Nolan has not decided what to do next. And he is not signed to make another Batman film yet.

    So that means no script. No story. No anything. No creative choices have been made about what to do with the next film. Right now, Warner Bros. is busy making party hats out of $1000 bills, counting all the silly, silly, silly DARK KNIGHT money they’re making, and that’s it.

    When someone tells you Johnny Depp is “signed” to play The Riddler, feel free to laugh in their face.

    When someone tells you Philip Seymour Hoffman is “signed” to play The Penguin, ask them if it’s just as true this time as it was when it was a DARK KNIGHT rumor two years ago. Then laugh in their face.

    When someone tells you anything about Catwoman or recasting The Joker or Clayface or Man-Bat or Killer Croc or ANYTHING... just brush it off.

    Because it’s not true. It’s just not. No matter how much you want it to be. No matter how many times it gets reprinted for no reason. No matter how many photoshopped “costume tests” start floating around.

    It’s just not happening. Yet.

    if these studio execs don't shut the up Nolan will walk. the only reason this franchise came back is because they gave him 100% creative control.

    he needs to destress with another "prestige" like movie, which I openly welcome. He picks great stories and directs good movies.
