Not Sarah Silverman. Give-up? It's none other than Robin Williams, who told Empire Magazine that he would love to work with Chris Nolan again "Playing anyone in anything." Williams and Nolan worked together on Insomnia, in which Williams played a creepy, villainous-type quite well. He is, after all, a Juilliard graduate. But does that mean he'd make a good Riddler?
Williams says he's "a little hairy for tights," and though Batman 3 is expected in 2012, The Riddler has not been confirmed as the villain. But Robin Williams told Empire, "I could be a great character - or some weird little man in the background in Arkham Asylum."
Williams also talked about his history with the Batman franchise, noting that he was set to be the Joker before it went to Jack Nicholson, then got passed-over for The Riddler when it went to Jim Carrey. "Don't pump me again, motherfuckers!"
