Description
Name: Alan Cumming (51/5’10”)
Notable Works: X2: X-Men United, Spy Kids, GoldenEye, Strange Magic, Son of the Mask, Josie and the Pussycats
Character Portraying: Edward Nygma aka The Riddler (6’1)
Reason for Casting: So I was watching Goldeneye on TV and completely forgot that Alan Cumming was in it. As I was sitting there, I noticed a similarity to the character he was playing and Edward Nygma better known as The Riddler. The gears in my head started turning, how cool would it be to see Alan Cumming portray the DC comics character and go head to head with Ben Affleck’s Batman. I think he’s an excellent actor and great at playing the villain.

MAN, I actually was giving serious thought to changing my cast for the Riddler and making him be either Alan Cummings or David Hyde Pierce.

Yeah, but I decided to stick with Frank Gorshin and I cast David Hyde Pierce as someone else in the Bat Rogue gallery.

David Tennant as the riddler isn't a bad choice. I just feel he's overused and very predictable for the role.

I really like it, an older Riddler would fit for the DCEU and Alan Cumming could nail the part.

I wondered when you would come back with new castings. This one I can get behind, especially after Son of the Mask.

Thanks a lot. I've been rather busy so I haven't had much time to just sit back and actually think of a perfect casting choice.

I felt like I didn't really put any effort into them.

Aww, Well, good luck this time around. Especially since Alan Cumming as Riddler isn't too unoriginal. Matter of fact, for the DCEU, I'd approve it 100%!
