Nigma this is the true idenity of the riddler. The role is played by a very famouse charecter actor named William Ficter. it is not common at al for him to take small roles like the one in the dark knight he did it because it is a villian set up for the next film where he will be the joker. Next time you watch the movie pause the show at his desk and zoom in if you have the means the desk name says E. Nigma.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Your theory could be very possible. But, remember, they can always recast if they choose to, especially if an actor like Depp might be interested in the role. Officially, there has not been an announcement that there will even be another Batman movie yet (although given the box office of the Dark Knight, I would say that that is only a matter of time) let alone who will be starring in it yet.

Things can change. Besides, "William Ficter as The Riddler" will hardly have them lining up at the box office.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney No offense, but no one even knows Riddler will even be in the next film yet, much less who will be cast in the role. I think everyone has to take a que from Disney info and that is until its CONFIRMED by the studio, everything are rumors period. And yes, that includes anything and everything about the next film since it hasn't even been given a go yet. And Nolan has already signed on to do a different film (forgot the name) so it may be a few years until we even hear or get the next one.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Makes sense, like I said, Nolan is already signed up for another film and thats a year pretty much. Of course, assuming he signs up for it after that, we are talking a year of preproduction, actually writing the script etc, so I wouldnt expect one till 2011-12 at this point. I assume if they want Nolan for the next one, they will just wait it out until they can get a schedule and script all parties will agree on.
