2. Realistic Riddler
The Batman movies of the 80s and 90s dont mean anything special to me, and I think that is because they portrayed a very cartoony version of Batman, which I can read in comics or see in animated features. The mixture of the realistic and the comic did not work out well, at least in my eyes, and it made the movies fail at portraying a decent version of the Batman that I know and love. This was exactly the case in Jim Carreys portrayal of the Riddler. When hype was building over The Dark Knight Rises, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt was announced as a co-star in the film, I got extremely excited (as did a number of others) because I thought he would be portraying a Nolan-version of the Riddler, one that it realistic instead of comical and cartoony. I think, adding to my want to see Batman do some real detective work, that a realistic version of the Riddler could work out very well on the big screen. That thought is borne, for the most part, from the fact that I did not believe that a realistic Joker would have worked but Heath Ledger and Nolan proved me wrong on that one. I just want to see Batman go up against somebody who can match and, in some cases, beat his intellectual skills, because that is the reason why the Riddler is such a compelling character.
