Batman Casting - The Riddler (60s Pick) — Description
This is my pick for the Riddler if they made a serious, non-goofy or campy Batman movie in the 1960s.

Reason for Casting: To be honest, I haven't seen a lot of Vincent Price's work, and I'm actually basing this casting decision on one particular role. And that role was Professor Rattigan in The Great Mouse Detective (yes, I like Disney Animated Movies, but who doesn't?). Mainly, his performance as Rattigan would also make a good 60s Riddler. Rattigan was intelligent, egotistical, and was surprisingly really giddy. It was like he was having so much fun being a villain. That pretty much fits an interpretation of the Riddler that I would like to see (he's egotistical and giddy, mainly because he thinks he's so intelligent that he can outsmart and stump the police). All-in-all, Price would make a good 60s Ridler for a serious Batman film.
