- He works for Wayne Industries, which is seen in more than one version of Riddler.

- He has a damn good idea who Batman is, and judging by the look he gave Wayne after the Lamborghini crash, he's still a little pissed.

- He's shown to be pretty smart + resourceful.

- Looks the part PERFECTLY.

- After a close call like that, orchestrated by someone like The Joker, you're bound to lose it a little bit.

- And, of course, there's the fact that Gary Oldman already pretty much conformed that Riddler was the next villain. I can dig up a link to the interview if you're so inclined, but I'm sure you've all read it by now.

I know there's more, but thats all I can think of for the moment.


As for Tiny Lister...if he's being set for up anything, it's Killer Croc, not Bane. That shit on his neck looked more like a skin condition that an tattoo. I've never seen a tattoo like that...

I heard somebody mention that the schizo Joker goon that Harvey was interrogating - the one with the Rachel Dawes badge - was supposed to be a set-up for Mad Hatter, but I cant quite figure that one out. Did anybody catch something that I didn't?

Personally, I think they're trying to set up Batgirl / Oracle in some way. In both this movie and Batman Begins, they mention Gordon's daughter constantly, but NEVER show her. Even when his family is kidnapped, she's attached to her mother and you just barely see the back of her head. Nolan's said that he'd never have Robin in his films, but has he ever mentioned Batgirl? Besides, I think that whole kidnapping thing would give her more than enough reason to want to fight crime...I'm against the idea myself, but I can see it happening.

Anyway, I'm still pushing for Black Mask as the next villain...so fucking perfect for Nolan's world. Who would play him though? Joaquin Phoenix? Guy Pearce? Maybe Rufus Sewell?

Thank you, Return!
