Washington
(ANI):
Actor
Johnny
Depp
is
being
tipped
to
be
the
next
Batman
villain,
taking
on
the
role
of
The
Riddler.
Movie
bosses
are
convinced
that
they
will
be
able
to
get
Depp
to
take
on
the
role,
especially
after
The
Dark
Knight
broke
all
records
at
the
box
office
shortly
after
its
release.
Now,
the
National
Enquirer
reveals
that
bosses
want
Depp
in
the
next
instalment,
as
well
as
Philip
Seymour
Hoffman
who
they
think
will
be
perfect
for
the
role
of
another
of
the
Caped
Crusader's
arch-foes,
the
Penguin,
reports
Contactmusic.
"(Producers)
are
convinced
that
the
role
of
the
Riddler
is
perfect
for
Depp.
Johnny's
a
pro.
He'll
be
able
to
take
direction
from
director
Chris
Nolan
and
still
make
the
character
his
own," a
source
told
the
tabloid.
"And
what
better
Penguin
is
there
than
Philip
Seymour
Hoffman,"
the
source
added.
The
Riddler
was
played
on
the
small
screen
by
Frank
Gorshin
in
the
1960s,
and
by
Jim
Carrey
in
1995
movie
Batman
Forever.
Penguin
was
played
on
the
small
screen
by
Burgess
Meredith
and
on
the
big
screen
by
Danny
DeVito.
