Riddle Me This Dr. Who



 

How god damned cool is the above poster?  Sadly, of course, the poster isn't real.  It's just an awesome idea for a casting choice for the Riddler in the next Batman Film.  David Tennant.  I can't believe I've never thought of it before.  He's a perfect choice for the riddler.  He already perfectly plays the role of a super intelligent yet incredibly eccentric character as Dr. Who.  All he'd have to do to play the riddler is morph that eccentricity more towards the insane and he'd have the character down pat.  He even looks like a good Riddler, what with the suit and the glasses and his tall wiry frame. 

 

Of course, the chances of him being cast as the Riddler are about slim to none.  Riding off of the high of Dark Knight, the next Batman movie will only be featuring super A class hollywood talent.  And unfortunately for Mr. Tennant, aside from us Dr. Who fans, no one in the US has ever really heard of him.

 

The poster itself is the work of artist Josh McMahon.  You can see a larger version of the poster over at IO9.com along with posters for Kristen Bell as Harleyquinn and Marrion Cotillard as Catwoman.

 

I'm not too partial to the Catwoman poster to be honest.  The mask on it reminds me way too much of Halley Berry's crappy ass Catwoman costume, although the rest of the outfit isn't too bad.  Harleyquinn looks pretty damn sweet though.  But I really hope they don't go with three villains in the next film.  There is such a thing as too much.  Just look at Batman and Robin and Spider Man 3.  Too many villains dilutes a film too much.
