Don’t go flying out the window Batman fans, Dane Cook hasn’t been cast as Batman’s latest nemesis for the Dark Knight follow-up. In an interview with MTV News, the comedian was asked if he had interest in any new comic book films, to which he replied, “I love the new Dark Knight series and ‘Batman Begins…If they brought back The Riddler—a new Riddler the way they did with The Joker—that would be bad-ass. I would do that.”
Cook goes on to discuss how he would transform into the diabolic brain-teaser:
“When they were making the new one and they were doing The Joker, I always thought it [should be] kind of like ‘The Crow’—having that dark element but still comedic… “It would probably have to be something in that vein, even though I think what Heath Ledger did with the Joker was the greatest comic book villain ever.”
In other Batman news, LatinoReview reports they’re source has confirmed that Batman 3 will be a go, whether series director Chris Nolan returns or not. It’s looking gloomy in Gotham City!
