In reply to Robert. B. Your right with a role like that, People seem to think he'll be better as Bullock the side-kick, He needs his own individual role where he takes orders from no one!

Well Nolan is trying to keep his characters on the dark and realistic path; looking at Hardy shows that he is a very intimidating figure. The Riddler role doesn’t really look suited to him, though I could see him playing a character much like the Black Mask!

He has shown quite a psychotic side which he performed well in Bronson, he has the right facial structure for the role as Black Mask’s key feature was his face. A character like the crime boss Black Mask would bring in all the elements of Action needed to make the film a hit, while the questions raised by the Riddler will keep the audience gripped with the film — In my eyes, that would be a winning combination!

Wow, that picture you used looks so different from his character in Inception. But I still recognized him, likely from his Black Hawk Down role.

Hardy was also superb as a tormented Heathcliff in a British T.V adaptation of Wuthering heights. I’ve every confidence he could play any of the above – Riddler! PLEASE.
We have been raving about this guy for the last couple of years in the U.K. Nolan has obviously picked up on this also.

I think Tom Hardy would best suit a Mr. Freeze. It’d be hard to pull it off in Nolan’s Gotham City, but its still doable. A giant Ice Cannon is a little “out there” but maybe just a scientist specializing in ice, and cold temperatures who uses his knowledge of ice and cold to bring down Batman and Gotham. I just think Freeze has a much more heartfelt back story and a much stronger personality. The Riddler would be my runner up. The quirky-ness of the character would be a feat I’d like to see pulled off but I think Hardy will have to delve into much greater lengths as an actor to pull off a total sociopath, and still have some human moments when the past is brought up. I would much rather see Freeze than anyone else.

In reply to Rodney. I thought Nolans Batman could be a little diverse but hey-ho.

In reply to Dean.

Hello Dean,

You are 100% correct about Tom he is an awesome actor and he made the movie Batman so good and successful! I personally haven’t seen him in any other movies, but I am going to look up some information on his other movies to watch them.

Great comment Dean!

In reply to Scott. So remove everything there is about Robin out of the character? Good plan.

Richard Grayson, young lawyer to the crime bosses of Gotham who has a complete turn around when the bosses try to force him to go even further in there defence by killing Commisioner Gordon, when he refuses they murder his parents and he sets out for revenge.

No costume just him out to kill the villians when he crosses paths with Batman who tries to stop him from going too far. This eventually leads to them becoming allies. Allies not partners or sidekick material. Something with a bit more edge to it rather than the campy duo nonesense.
