Riddle me this: who's the best live-action Riddler ever?

Moviefan2k4 · 05-16-2023, 05:55 AM

Jim Carrey, all the way. "Batman Forever" is my favorite, from the Burton/Schumacher era.

Jim Carey. It really is no contest. Of the ones I've seen anyway. The actor nails the Riddler. Frank is good, but John stinks. I didn't see Gotham so I don't know about him. As for Paul, he wasn't even the Riddler. There was no costume and the only thing that gave you a clue to who he was is the riddles. Which is a joke. That movie was good, but the villain was lame. If it was a new villain it would have been awesome, but to ruin a cool, classic villain like that was low down. It's worse than the way they handled the Mandarin.

Not a big riddler fan. It kind of gets lost in the shuffle with such other great villains around Batman

Defintely Gorshin.
I quite like the latest iteration in The Batman too.

I'm not sure we'd know who the Riddler was without Frank Gorshin.

Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey went on record once, saying that Gorshin was one of his inspirations for his own portrayal of the Riddler. Personally, I think he took what Gorshin had done, and just made the character a little more psycho.

Jim Carrey

Happy for the Gorshin love.

Here's where I point out that John Astin is still alive!
