Don’t Believe The Johnny Depp As The Riddler Rumors

Depp-Riddler-No.jpgIt’s totally natural that The Dark Knights remains a hot topic of conversation given the movie is so good and is dominating the box office like no other movie in years (hey Tapley, looks like I lost our bet). But it also means some of us get WAAYYYY ahead of ourselves and start jumping on any little rumor about the next movie (even though they don’t even know who is going to write the next one, let alone know which characters will be in it yet).

There has been a wild rumor burning around the internet the last 24 hours or so proclaiming that Johnny Depp has been approached about playing “The Riddler” in the next Batman film. Would that be a cool casting? Sure. Could Depp do a good job with it? Probably, why not? But let’s look past the obvious problems with this rumor (no script, don’t know who’s writing it for sure, don’t know who’s directing it for sure… yadda yadda yadda). The biggest problem is this…

Why you dig back through where this rumor came from, you find that the originating source is… the National Enquirer. Yes, THAT National Enquirer… who by the way doesn’t name any sources for the rumor.

So let’s put this one to bed shall we? Oh sure, somewhere down the line Depp’s name COULD come up for the role, that’s possible. But as of right now, NO, Depp is not being talked to about The Riddler role… so let’s move on.
