We all knew that The Riddler in the Batman series was THE role that Robin Williams was born to play, but does he fit the mould for a Christopher Nolan Batman movie, or a Joel Schumacher Batman movie? Well, Robin wants the part in the next installment that is currently being written by Chris Nolan and brother Jonathan.
Robin spoke to Empire.
“I would do Batman in a second. I’d play The Riddler in the next one, although it would be hard to top Heath Ledger as the villain and I’m a little hairy for tights…The Batman films have screwed me twice before: years ago they offered me The Joker and then gave it to Jack Nicholson, then they offered me The Riddler and gave it to Jim Carrey. I’d be like, ‘Ok, is this a real offer? If it is, then the answer’s yes. Don’t pump me again motherf**kers’.”
