According toTHR , Dano has joined the cast ofThe Batmanto wager The Riddler . This will be something of a release for the actor , since he in the main has starred in smaller films likeLittle Miss Sunshine , There Will Be Blood , andPrisoners . He ’s for the most part ride out aside from blockbuster genre fare in his career , though he did have a role in 2011’sCowboys and Aliens . Reeves commented on the casting on Twitter , which you may see below :
While The Riddler is one of the most recognizable members of Batman ’s rogue gallery , the character has been depict on the big cover only a single clip , whenJim Carrey take on the role in 1995’sBatman Forever . As such , it ’s refreshing to see Reeves is using The Riddler for his upcoming film , at last giving fans a modern take on Edward Nygma . Carrey ’s interpretation was suitably over - the - top and cartoony for Joel Schumacher ’s vision of Gotham City , but many viewers would savor seeing seeing The Riddler in a unlike context . His comprehension inThe Batmanlends credence to the beliefReeves is tapping into Batman ’s tec skillsfor his film , since The Riddler is well - known for leaving clues around for Batman to discover . Pattinson ’s Bruce Wayne is sound to have to use his brains ( as well as heftiness ) to total out on top .
In lieu of getting an arguably bigger name like Hill orSeth Rogen , Dano reads as exhort cast . He ’s a versatile performer and is no stranger to playing type who are peculiar and/or kinky . Dano should be a strong burst for the role , even if Reeves takes a more strand approach and ( passably ) tone down The Riddler ’s typical characteristics . clock time will tell ifThe Batmanwill continue DC ’s current win streak of gamey - lineament films , but there ’s no denying Reeves has knocked it out of the park in regard to casting .
