OH SHIT, SON. Michael Emerson as the Riddler.

[seriousfic]

It would be PERFECT.



"Strapped to a bomb, leashed to a pesky reporter, battered, bruised, outnumbered, outsmarted, and personally granting your greatest enemy access to the very thing you were attempting to keep him from... I'm hazarding a guess here, but... Not exactly the way you'd imagined this turning out, is it, sweetheart?"





"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."

One more!



"Oh, come now… save the theatrics for the newcomers, will you? We're a little past that, don't you think?[…]

Of course it's between you and me, it's always been between you and me. Be patient. Everything, as always, will be revealed in time. You look down your nose… even after what I did to you, all of you… But let me tell you right now, when this is over, I'll have what I want… I'll have victory in my hands and you'll be the one to have given it to me. I promise you that. […]You know I hate to be the one to say it, but at times you can be incredibly—rude."

Do it, Nolan! DO EET!

Emerson has a near Walken-esque talent for being hilariously comic at the exact same time that he's being creepy as hell.

Yes.

Admittedly, Tennant would look better in the bowler hat, but Emerson could do the character in his sleep and turn him into an A-list threat instead of the Batverse's whipping boy. I'd love it if Nolanverse!Riddler managed to find out Batman's secret identity, since although that couldn't work in the comics, it would make for one hell of a movie.

Riddler figuring out his identity would practically be obligatory.

If he could Riddler like he portrayed himself in the video-and combined with the acting Srs linked above-I'd be all over that movie. Heck, he could probably carry a whole movie by himself.
