Burn Gorman (Owen from Torchwood) as the Riddler?

From IWatchStuff.com: More Actors Announced for "The Dark Knight Rises."

"Now that we've cast all our Banes and Catwomen and all that, you may think we'd be running out of major casting announcements for The Dark Knight Rises. Not the case! Have you forgotten the crucial role of "rookie cop who is looking to make a difference"? Someone has to make a difference, guys, and it's going to be Diego Klattenhoff, who just nabbed that part. That's him above left. Doesn't he look like he wants to make a difference? You don't defiantly put your hands on your waist like that if you're just going to go with the flow of your more experienced cop superiors.

In addition to Klattenhoff--and yesterday's announcement that Rescue Me's Daniel Sunjata will have an "important" part, which it turns out means "courageous special forces operative"--Torchwood's Burn Gorman, too, has been cast in a supporting role, though the exact character hasn't been revealed. Probably because it's Riddler."

Oh yes please!

although Riddler seems to be their default guess :)

Yes, yes, indeed. Burn does have the right look for the Riddler though. Get him in green tights! Stat!

damn straight, although I'd be happy with him having a role that doesn't end up on the cutting room floor...

Well, if he is playing the Riddler, perhaps they'll do what they did in the Dark Knight where Harvey Dent doesn't have the biggest role, but is going to be the big villain in the second film. Burn could be the main baddie in the third but gets a smaller introductory role in the second.

You know, I could totally see him in that role!

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Me too! He's got the right face for it.
