Paul Dano's version of the Riddler will be incredible. This approach of him being a Zodiac/Jigsaw type killer bringing terror upon Gotham is a great idea for this character
Yeah, the closest I've felt this much terror and menace from Riddler was from Freddy himself Robert Englund's version from The Batman (lol same name) cartoon.
Paul absolutely nailed The Riddler. He was able to perfectly embody the terrifying yet cunning, the genius yet psychosis, he’s able to perfectly create that visage of the living paradox that is Edward Nigma
Felt like he was doing a mashup of Joker and Scarecrow from the Nolan movies. Was very underwhelming. Especially after he gets arrested. Total wimp after that.
1:45 I don’t think that interviewer realized she just gave Paul Dano the biggest compliment possible. Lady is thinking that calling him creepy is an insult. Instead it validates all of his meticulous work. So glad the movie made Jim Gordon just as important of a character as Batman. I really loved watching them explore the crime scenes together.
Paul seems so incredibly humble and kind. Really glad some more unknown actors are getting their due in the same film, besides prisoners, Westworld and arguably twilight and the lighthouse, most of these guys aren't overly well known for their more Indy and character based peices. Fell like this is going to have a nice boost on popularity for these actors. Great stuff
I agree, although I will say I was surprised that Dano was in more big name movies than I thought. But yeah, definitely not as well known as he should be.
Paul Dano is truly amazing actor. I cant wait to see his performance as Riddler. Il is going to be memorable and i hope this movie will show his talent as many people as possible.
I am so excited to see him playing the Riddler in Batman. He is one of the best young actors that has been around in a very long time. I love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ his movies. This Batman ensemble is so great, they really seem to have such great chemistry. Can't wait to see him playing in Steven Spielberg's new movie.
I’m surprised - I would never have thought of Dano (and truth be told, I was mesmerized by Cory Michael-Smith’s _Gotham_ Riddler, who I’d still cite as the best Riddler ever put to celluloid), but Dano is one of those choices for a role whereby you think, ‘Damn - why didn’t I think of that!’ He has that appropriately mischievous and cherubic ‘Frank Gorshin’ face (not sure why then they’d hide it under a military all-weather mask), and yes, he’s nothing short of a top-shelf actor.
First role I saw him play was a good guy in Okja. His character was so kind and had so much compassion and empathy, and he genuinely wanted to help the main character… so when I saw this, a character who is so incredibly opposite and psycho, I was even more impressed with him as an actor and his versatility.
Anyone else out there pouncing on every new interview, trailer, clip or mention of The Batman, like me? I find myself searching UA-cam every few hours for new stuff on this movie.
A lot of people interviewing them and saying the film is a masterpiece honestly makes me so happy. I’ve been a supporter and believer in this film since day one. When we knew Reeves was writing and directing and when Pattinson was cast as Batman. Feels good to be proven right.
@@anthonylee4993 That wasn’t my intention. I apologize if it seems that way. I’m just happy for all the people who never doubted this film. Hopefully those people enjoy it.
Gotta admit, I enjoyed his rendition of the character the Riddler. The cast of villains in this film was highly on point in my opinion. Also high enjoyed this variant of Jim Gordon bravo gentleman.
I come from the future. I can assure you, his performance is frightening. He nailed the tormented, twisted killer just perfectly. You won't like his actions but you'll definitely be able to take away your eyes. He's just incredible.
I just watched it yesterday. He still had the capability to make you feel some compassion for him. That's what moved me about him playing the Riddler. Especially when he revealed his past. So good.
I felt bad for him when he was a kid. Doesn’t mean I support him for what he did as an adult. He’s still one of my favorite villains and I love how Paul played him! ^.^
Paul Dano has been one of my favorite actors since Little Miss Sunshine. The man stole every scene without even speaking for most of the movie. He's a fucking legend man, so underrated.
Paul Dano was great in " Prisoners". Hes a great actor so the fact hes in a big blockbuster film enables him to shine and give him great future roles. He definitely has " oscar nomination" type acting.👍
He was nominated for Love and Mercy and got an Oscar for ensemble for Little Miss Sunshine. He's a fabulous actor, he should have been nominated for There Will Be Blood. He does a lot of Indie films. I believe 🙏 he will have many chances in the future for awards.
@@chrishandsome4267 of course DDL is on a level all of his own but Paul did do such an incredible job in TWBB especially being so young and not even being meant to play Eli until the very last minute, excited for him to gain exposure to a much larger audience with this film
They wasted his talent in this flick. He's virtually indistinguishable from any serial killer in literally any other crime thriller. Very poor characterization.
Of course, Paul’s Riddler is the scariest; all the other live-action Riddlers have been comical and not serious character portrayals. Paul’s version is the first legit take on the character we’ve seen in live-action.
Jeffrey Wright’s Valentin Narcisse is one of the most terrifying villains in TV history. I know that was nearly a decade ago but watching other media for The Batman I legit didn’t recognize Wright and was wondering who this actor was. He is absolutely phenomenal.
There's not many actors who are able to imbue their characters with an intangible quality that just gets under your skin on a regular basis, but Paul Dano seemingly does it with ease. Can't wait to see his Riddler. I bet he'll be repulsive, in the best possible way.
I agree with you 💯 👍. Love Paul Dano ❤️ ❤️, he chooses such difficult characters, like in Prisoners. There Will Be Blood. Being Flynn with Robert Deniro is so good. I just fuckin love him.I know his take on the Riddler will intense, can't wait until March 4th.
I got done watching the movie earlier today and HE’S AWESOME as Riddler!! Also love the rest of the cast!! Everything about this movie too! Including the songs and music!
@@JackRabbit1612 batman gets the shit kicked out of him far too many times in his own movie, maybe the riddler will get the upper hand or bats might not even be able to touch him. this isnt a batman movie where he works out or fights much or has gadgets that will save him. he seems to stupidly get himself in many situations that should kill him or expose him.
@@brandonmatthews4934 you’re not saying anything people don’t already know though, it’s not a “you guys” thing. Of course he’s not gonna be stoic and naught care. But that particular reaction was certainly an odd, almost humorous choice. It works, but it is just on the edge of maybe not working imo.
One thing I love about classic Paul Dano is how I’m every picture with his girlfriend, she looks at him like he’s the greatest thing she’s ever seen. It’s heat warming.
I always thought the concept of the Riddler was cool, the idea of him leaving riddles for Batman and fucking with Batman on a psychological level like The Joker was always cool to me and I can see Paul Dano giving a good performance because he's good at playing, weird, creepy characters!
Yeah Paul's Riddler is giving out some crazy Zodiac Killer vibes.. it had to take me awhile because he grew out his hair so much I remember him from 20 years a slave and From There Will Be Blood:-)
I've never been a Riddler fan because he was just silly. I think Paul's version is going to be amazing and much more interesting than we've seen before. SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS!
Holy SHit I cant get that scene out of my mind....that scream/growl/cry was really unsettling 💀 also when the lights went out and we see him standing there
@@ratgirl669 yes it was definitely a blend of horror and mystery. That first kill was filmed brilliantly. He’s almost savoring the kill because in his mind he is doing justice.
@@bfettrules1239 yes!!! That makes so much sense. Makes me feel like re-watching it just to relive the tension. I was also shocked to realise the opening binocular scene was riddler himself ... 💀
Okay seeing Colin Farrell as🐧Penguin🐧 and now Paul Dano as Riddler, then out of costume? WTH? He looks so subdued and mellow, but he's like the Zodiac Killer in Batman? AGAIN WTH? The more I see of this the more impressed I am at what lengths they went to make this movie more intense and real.
Paul Dano is an amazing actor. I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. He really showed how the Riddler could be terrifying. All around a great Batman movie.
Paul killed the role. He made it so realistic and and scary. Spoiler; Im super excited to see how his character develops especially since they hinted him teaming with joker.
Dano was great in Taking Lives even for the little screen time he had but he was great serial killer on there. Can’t wait to see this Riddler finally take action.
Really looking forward to seeing this new Batman! 🦇 I thought the Riddler in the Gotham show was good this one looks like it's going to be ever better!
Biggest shocker of this movie: Paul Dano as the Riddler was the main thing about this movie that had me hype about seeing it. I always thought he was an incredible actor, and the Riddler was a villain that I’ve been dying to see portrayed the way they did in the Arkham games. After seeing the movie, I’m pretty sure I loved everything OTHER than the Riddler. Penguin, Catwoman, Alfred, Batman and Bruce, the Batmobile, Gotham’s aesthetic, everyone and everything other than the Riddler had its own vibe that felt original and fresh, yet familiar enough to belong. This Riddler had a weak identity, a wack costume, and felt too derivative of, well, you already know who I’m talking about without saying it. I like Matt Reeve’s vision of this Riddler, but the execution felt awkward and imposture. We know the I’m-a-dark-psycho villains of the Batman mythos snag Oscars. But I always felt Riddler’s intelligence outweighed his insanity in the end, he shouldn’t have felt this deranged. Kevin Spacey from Seven as Edward would’ve actually been perfection in this movie
I really loved how realistic this movie is. Riddler isn't some high-baller gangster with a green suit but a fucking maniac. And Batman isn't the perfect fighting machine who always comes out on top but he gets his ass beat occasionally. Such a cool spin on these characters
I'm glad I watched it before I even knew it was him that played the riddler Just made the reveal that much more intense A killer performance just as good as he was in there will be blood. Even better perhaps
After just seeing the movie I have to say both guys absolutely killed their roles, but I think a special mention for Paul Dano is needed, the Riddler was so terrifying from start to finish I was blown away by his performance.
Paul Dano looks like Griffin Dunne, who played Jack in the 1981 movie An American Werewolf In London. He'd be a brilliant Jack in the planned remake of An American Werewolf In London. It's rumoured that John Landis's son will be directing the remake
Paul's got drip in this interview. The Drippler

I'm psyched as FUCK for this version of Gordon to be honest.
His vibe as an actor is very Gordon.
@Miles Doyle Holy big wall of text Batman!
He and Gary Oldman both just feel like Gordon
Gordon from the animated series was always one of my favs…he was a slightly intimidating figure in his own right. Just a bad ass all around.
For sure, he looked badass while also calm and collected.
Meh, still think Gary Oldman is and always will be the best.

Movie was fucking glorious. Paul Dano did a really amazing job in the prison meeting scene. Had chills, and could barley breathe.
Yeah that scene was dope, just the set up to him mentioning Bruce Wayne...he though he had figured it out, then boom! NOT A CLUE.

Paul Dano has always been underrated.

Honestly he hasn’t been really that silly for the past 20 years. It’s just that Jim Carreys version destroyed the character.
In other words you've only seen Jim Carrey riddler
I also remember the character in 1960s series being cheesy but he’s probably better in the comics. That’s just been my impression from the movies.
This is WHY you NEED to read the comics . The movies don’t 100% portray the character the way they are written .

Biggest shocker of this movie: Paul Dano as the Riddler was the main thing about this movie that had me hype about seeing it. I always thought he was an incredible actor, and the Riddler was a villain that I’ve been dying to see portrayed the way they did in the Arkham games.
After seeing the movie, I’m pretty sure I loved everything OTHER than the Riddler. Penguin, Catwoman, Alfred, Batman and Bruce, the Batmobile, Gotham’s aesthetic, everyone and everything other than the Riddler had its own vibe that felt original and fresh, yet familiar enough to belong. This Riddler had a weak identity, a wack costume, and felt too derivative of, well, you already know who I’m talking about without saying it. I like Matt Reeve’s vision of this Riddler, but the execution felt awkward and imposture. We know the I’m-a-dark-psycho villains of the Batman mythos snag Oscars. But I always felt Riddler’s intelligence outweighed his insanity in the end, he shouldn’t have felt this deranged. Kevin Spacey from Seven as Edward would’ve actually been perfection in this movie
Riddler was awesome in it
Jeffrey Wright is also an amazing actor. Don’t forget he played Peoples Hernandez in Shaft. Like a totally different person.
Imagine an 18+ Batfleck solo movie where he just rips criminals apart like some demon.
5:47 Paul Dano's reaction is to "head above water" is great
I Really In Love With Dano 🥰
Paul was awesome as riddler a complete new dark performance..he was really hypnotic and cruel
I just watched the movie and his Riddler in the beginning absolutely terrified me! That breathing stuff will haunt me forever
Paul’s jacket is dope
That jacket on Paul looks great.
I really loved how realistic this movie is. Riddler isn't some high-baller gangster with a green suit but a fucking maniac. And Batman isn't the perfect fighting machine who always comes out on top but he gets his ass beat occasionally. Such a cool spin on these characters
I'm glad I watched it before I even knew it was him that played the riddler
Just made the reveal that much more intense
A killer performance just as good as he was in there will be blood. Even better perhaps
After just seeing the movie I have to say both guys absolutely killed their roles, but I think a special mention for Paul Dano is needed, the Riddler was so terrifying from start to finish I was blown away by his performance.
Paul Dano looks like Griffin Dunne, who played Jack in the 1981 movie An American Werewolf In London.
He'd be a brilliant Jack in the planned remake of An American Werewolf In London.
It's rumoured that John Landis's son will be directing the remake
I agree, I think Paul Dano would be great in a remake of An American Werewolf in London. Good 👍 suggestion.
Oh, yeah. I was totally terrified of his portrayal as an alt-right incel who mouth breathes diatribes on the dark web in a gimp mask. Fucking awful!
time to watch another movie of paul dano getting brutally beaten
Thank god they got Paul dano to play this role
I Like Dano Face 😩💖
Paul Dano became my favorite Actor who plays the Riddler in the movie The Batman
The new Gordon's is Marvels forgotten " What If " Episode
"What If Commisoner Gordon was black"
😂
Good to see The Riddler in a serious Batman film. Props to all the actors in this film. They all did a great job!
I'm really intrigued and interested in this new portray the riddler it's very different and looks terrifying.
Having now seen the film I can confirm that Dano's Riddler is fantastic and super creepy. It's the first time I've ever liked the Riddler.
Good lord, this reporter is the worst at asking questions. I know it was edited down but still
