A daily briefing on what matters in Hollywood.Yes, I want to receive emails from The Hollywood Reporter about the latest news, products and events that they feel might be of interest to me.
Sell-out.
Mister_BatfIeck The info we need to know is that Riddler will be called Edward Nashton in the movie. Y’all really didn’t need to make an article for this.
Loved him in Little Miss Sunshine 🤣
The one single thing you 'need to know (so far)' in this entire story is that The Riddler's name is Edward Nashton. That's it. That's the story.
Superb!
Wow, the casting for this movie is insane. Matt Reeves is on such a great roll here.
Yeah but could he ever pull off corys look though
That is too bad. NPH would have made a killer Riddler!! ActuallyNPH JustSaying
Riddle me this! What do you call a sleeping bull? Answer! A bulldozer! Complements of Frank Gorshin
incredible choice. wow
I have never been more excited for a Batman movie
Riddle me this: who drank my milkshake?
Yes !
Dudes a great actor. Solid choice
Good pick
After seeing Joker I think they HAVE to bring Phoenix into this movie. Have to.
Great casting. Jonah Hill would have made a great Penguin but he was probably asking for too much for that role.
Ayo i like dude this might be lit
Dude is a great actor. So far they got two good actors for the movie
Only if he drinks Bruce Waynes Milkshake!
I wouldn't say I was into Batman films but Paul Dano is brilliant. I'd definitely watch this.
Yikes and away. This will be the worst Batman movie yet.
To weird for me, the riddler will be just right
Great choice for the Riddler... Getting pumped for this Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson
They better him some stubble
It's Clits!
um FUCK alright
Agramna sierracook_
He was my favorite part of Little Miss Sunshine, by far.
TriftyCent70 might be on to something here...
DRRRRAAAAIIIINNNNAGGGEEE!!!!
BabsGray finally
Yes ! I have always been a fan !
Love it
😍🙌😍🙌😍🙌😍🙌😍
Meh
Excellent choice! One of the best in the business.
Paul Dano is such a great actor. He can play any role. Watch Love & Mercy then Swiss Army Man then we’ll chat.
interesting 😏
xFelipeFloresx comic book news im excited about!
PaulDano_Fans PERFECT!
PaulMe_Maybe7 🔥🔥🔥
Overloading on villains.. I see DC hasn’t learned.
DanaDantet jgloire82 wow.
Finally! Someone with actual talent. Brilliant actor!
Ruining the comics. mood postseason
Wow, fantastic casting here. Dano is exactly the kind of actor who could make this role his own.
Why so many damn Batman movies? Is there a lack of material for making films?
He’s creepy
We all know who should be Penguin now that Jonah is out of the question:
He’s amazing! He does crazy well!👍🏼👍🏼
This is a really good fit.
Looks like a good fit. Would love to see Willem Defoe as The Joker, even though I guess Phoenix has that role sealed up.
I really like where this is going.
I can fuck with this! He will make a great Riddler
Perfect!
Who the fuck is this
Yes perfect
I'd cast him as The Penguin myself considering he looks wet in every movie he's in.
ThaSlim_Reaper
Not Sebastian Stan? 😰
SpencerRiggi MikeRiggi
This casting is perfection so far! I’m getting hyped!
LEGENDARY ACTOR ,
Greedy Jonah. Good for Paul Dano!
“Reeves has said he plans to include a rogues gallery of Batman villains in the film.” This always happens when you have a focking thin and lousy plot. Pass.
_Ben_Collins_
Lmao why did they even mention that dipshit Hill, Dano is perfect!
who
Amazing performer. He is perfect for this. He is great at doing an unhinged yet serious role. See Taking Lives where he plays a young murderous Ethan Hawke.
Seems like a great fit!
Just for him I can forgive that Batman will be Robert Pattinson
He was outstanding in Prisoners.
Good choice of actor to play the middle I bet he'll do just as good as Jack Nicholson did or better but I'm curious to see it.
My dreams of CrispinGlover playing Batman or The Riddler will never be realized 😔
KieranG_11
He is a brilliant actor. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
mister_CMS is the only Riddler!
Oooh I love this choice!!!👍😍
So much yes.
Such a great choice 👏
His performance in Prisoners is chilling! This should be good!
Damn great casting
Always been a Paul Dano fan.
Not ActuallyNPH ? Why would they make such a poor casting decision?
YES!
YESYESYESYESSSSSS!!!!
I saw this as a “Neckbeard.” Please stop making Batman films.
Paul Dano is so way underrated. He is a fantastic actor with a very wide range. He can do anything.
POG
Iconic
Excellent choice
Absolutely epic choice!
Book em Dano
I guess
Paul Dano is an incredible talent. The whole cast is shaping up nicely.
carolinemadatu your boy makin moves
fantastic choice.
Missed a big opportunity with Neil Patrick Harris. Looks and sounds the part perfectly.
Since most people will never see the movie it won't matter
Why don’t they just focus on one villain (preferably someone new) instead of shoving multiple ones, in one movie?😑
The Batman cast Aaron Jay Rome as a preemptive fan of this film.
Nice addition to the cast.
Movie just got gooder
He can take a hit that’s for sure!
Great actor IL give him that.
JEClague it’s getting even better
Unbelievable casting
47Dee47
I really really hope the riddler defeats batman for once.
Good choice.
I finished season 5 of Gotham today, so this confuses my three brain cells
They definitely hired an ACTOR to play this character. Wonderful maniacal presence on the screen
MY BABY!!!! Yes!
This is amazing news
I got the military Blue's 'Taking Lives' perfect casting to play Riddler
Love this. Great choice!
This is perfect WTF
ESPADANEG
Recently from the El Royale movie, yeah I like him.
What a shit choice, won't be watching it with him and pattteson I can't art
When the obvious choice was HenryLovesYou
Talented actor who has a genius for being miscast. He is no more the Riddler than he was Pierre in “War and Peace.”
Is it about the Riddler or Batman?
I like it, way better than Jonah Hill lol
Genius
wethegriswolds PAULY DANO
.OleManLogan how dare it not be jonah hill.
TonyTodd54 One wonders, will Batman get to taste of his Milkshake too? 🤣
Just why?
This casting is amazing, keep it up
literally the best casting decision i've heard in a goooood while
He’s going to nail it, he’s an incredibly gifted actor. Also, I predict him and Pattinson getting along and playing off each other really well.
aandrescedeno upa
this is gonna be the best movie ever?
Yup. This totally works
How dare Matt Reeves white wash Riddler
False prophet
I can see it perfectly!
yes!!!! aweSOME NEWS..HERE TODAY...HE LOOKS LIKE THE PART PLAYS...
Stop please 😯 we need true cast
Yes. YESSSSS.
YES YES YES
Shit 😈😂
Charlotte_crg 😳
Only one person that should ever have been considered for the new Riddler! 👇
b_rad_y
That’s perfect
PaulDano TheRiddler
In Taking Lives, he scared the shit out of me.
Awesome pick for the Riddler!!!
Pube43 could see this lad pulling this off good
i am all for this
Love it
The best casting choice for this film so far 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll see it just for him ❣️
CharliesNewt
Please no more superhero films for awhile. Can we have some real films. I like going to the amusement park as much as anybody, not just every day!
Cool. Watch There Will Be Blood and see Paul Dano hold his own against possibly the greatest actor in a generation. (Daniel Day Lewis)
YES, YES, ALL OF THE YES!
The only interesting casting so far. Won’t get me in a theater but I’ll check it out on Netflix or on a flight.
Love this dude. His acting is on point.
CLASSIC
I am 100% down for Paul Dano as The Riddler! This is near perfect casting
Perfect
Tomahawkskilla good choice
Good pick, for sure.
They should cast Trump as the joker and Giuliani as the clown.... Show Lol PopGoesTheWeasel ThursdayThoughts FBR Resist BlueWave BlueNoMatterWho ResistanceForHim EmolumentsClause Syria Sandera2020
Riddler's my favorite Batman villain. Now I'm thoroughly excited.
Kinda stoic who knows
When reading this story, it’s important to read it properly as PaulDano instead of what I did, which was read it as PaulDanan ...now THAT would be a headline! 😂
Klitz...
Good casting... Paul is such a amazing actor. 👍👍👍
Just bring back Danny Devito for Penguin
You know what? I CAN SEE IT.
Good choice but still don’t like Robert panface for the role of Batman.
8Antler
Looks more like Scarecrow
pauldanodaily Congratulations Paul Dano!
eoinymurray
Everytime I see his picture I just want to yell I drank his milkshake
Solid casting tbh
a dream come true
Hugh Jackman Should be Batman
has someone told quintybot
Excellent choice!
Meh...
Love it🌱
Yeah I can see that.
Daniel_Guest
Dude is a good actor, watch his role in the Hugh Jackman movie Prisoners 👌🏾👌🏾
This is perfection.
Now this is looking interesting! ?PaulDano🐈ZoeKravitz🚔JeffreyWright 🦇RobertPattinson 🎥MattReeves TheBatman Batman Ridler Joker
Dunno who he is but slap a bowler hat on him and give him a question mark cane and that man is absolutely Riddler.
Jesse Eisenberg would’ve been better.
👏👏👏
No more superhero 'movies' pure garbage.
Dano is five times the actor that Jonah Hill is. Brilliant choice.
AMAZING!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This dude is a real good actor. I can't wait to see him as the Riddler
So this is gonna be Batman for preteens basically...I’ll wait for the next reboot before giving a shit about Batman movies again
In favor, but it should’ve been Neil Patrick Harris
Ohh thats good
You're missing out on a perfect Riddler in chrisdelia
Did Roy Munson have a kid with his landlord
'Hey its me the riddler, do you wanna play mariokart DS?'
Wow! We’re finally getting a movie with the Riddler. Awesome. They should make him some type of cyber terrorist or something like that.
zach_sally
0 interest in this movie. 0.
Meh, the bar is set pretty low, so low Pattison is Batman. Bring JoeManganiello back as Deathstroke and we'll talk
joyfullystyled
The weird guy from There Will Be Blood. He’s perfect!
erjimbo93
The casting seems promising so far.
Amazing casting
W
KLITZ?!?!
This movie is gonna be a hipster trainwreck.
oh thats that guy from prisoners
BEST. DECISION. EVER. There isn’t any role Paul Dano has ever been mediocre in.
Yesssss!!
We got our riddler. I do hope the movie is the best it can be. Give him side burns the famous hat and you have the Riddler
Haha beat out jonah hill
I don't know who this is. Glancing over his IMDB page, I've seen some of the movies he's been in, but I don't remember him at all.
Who?
Matt Reeves chose this better actor to be our Riddler. I originally had him set as the Mad Hatter which he would have been fantastic with David Tennant as my Riddler, but wouldn't mind seeing a flip with Tennant as the Mad Hatter now. Love this news!!!
Neat pick, ye!
😍😍😍
No one gives a crap but I approve
MillieCordelia Nooooooooo
Funny way to spell mister_CMS (Cory Michael Smith)
Great pick.
Now it got interesting.
Riddle me this: if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw that stretches acrooooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake, what do I do?
Damn this movie is shaping up to be real good ..... I still wanna know who Jonah Hill is gonna play
Mister_BatfIeck Yup. JonahHill definitely did not want to play The Penguin.
Yeah. Way underrated as Paul and Eli Sunday, tough to shine when you’re opposite DDL. About time he had a big role!
nickap162
Hahahahahahahahahahaha the movie is doomed to fail
Okay..this is getting good.
A red head they didn't race switch.. shame shame...
Riddle me this Batman! Who drank my milkshake!?!?
I'm not saying I'm on board, but I'm more interested now.
Here. For. This. 🙌
Oh sick! DC is pulling all the stops with these villain casting choices
Still bummed won’t get see Batfleck in this movie cause it’s shaping up pretty good with the casting
rmurdster oh riiight
Loving this!
Fuck yeah
This is definitely going well
YES YES YES!!!!!!
GianniVEVO che mi dici
Really? We all know who should take that and every other role
SBReports706 Marcus_Sniffles 👀👀
Great choice!
So cool!
Very nice
Wasn’t this the kid from Little Miss Sunshine?
Ooohhhh FUCK yes
I'm not mad at all
Stellar143
DonaldReignoux tu vas nous faire un super Homme Mystère 🙂👍
W
Paul Dano was made There Will Be Blood a less than perfect film ie. he’s a bad actor.
WiltonHighSchool represent! Lol, Congrats, Paul!
Nailed it right in the head. It’s about time his talent is exposed
Good casting
Great casting for the Riddler
Approved
This time HE will drink Batmans milkshake
I think the guy who played him in Gotham would be better
What an excellent choice. I can already see him making fun of my puny intellect.
How many more Batman and Spider-Man movies is Hollywood gonna make? This is a bit ridiculous. How about something original?
Who’s playing Batman
Wayyyy better choice than JonahHill
beetmymeat_ YOOOOO
No riddle to be found here....great choice to play the riddler
Great shout, perfect choice 👌
Tough playing second riddle to jonah hill.
He fits that well. He looks awkward AF
Quality casting decision. Spot on. 👍
Good Choice .Good Actor
Who?
There Will Be Riddles
amigoh judasweeknd
Great choice 👍🏻
He’s a great actor and for anyone that is curious about how good he is watch Swiss Army Man
OH FUCK YES!
yawns
unhelado
He don’t even need a costume
The best riddler, ever.
Brilliant!
axelroote you felt it coming!
manulqn
Not mulaney
TavsH Go get'im danno
Paul’s time to shine 🙌🏻 He’s an amazing actor ❤️
underwhelming
Best choice until now!
ben4burton I like this
perfect. i’m scared of this mf ever since prisoners
totally.
Great casting there.
Oh, that is nice. I'm loving this cast.
Good actor but was really hoping Riddler character would be left out of this movie. So many better options...
WTonofski I was hoping for Bill Hader but this is good casting as well. 💚❔💜❔
Holy shit talk about perfect casting
So underrated. Such a great choice
love him
ScottTaylorTV Another Batman movie. Oh boy. Innovative.
Yassssss he’s so good
oooooooooooooooo yes.
I approve this decision.
He’s a great, young talent
love this!
There Will Be Blood. That movie alone sold me on Dano. I'm 110% okay with this
Congrats PDoolan that’s a hell of a role to land.
Low confidence in this one.
Most are convinced.. & if you aren’t please watch the movie Prisoners.. this is the perfect casting of the riddler
I've seen Batman Returns and Batman Forever already. Why not have villains not already in existing films. There's so many!
He actually looks like the 'I am the Joker' guy from Catfish.
Is Paul Dano kin to Royal Dano, the character actor?
Gerringman
classic
I like sttepodcast Riddler PaulDano Batman
StevieG119 omg do u know this bloke
Great choice. pauldano batman riddler
fensflow Thomson_Mikey
He’s come a long way since his ‘Hollyoaks’ days.
Cool. Is Hush going to be in it, I wonder...
Can we finally get a Batman movie that CENTERS on the reason Ras calls him 'Detective?' It was 'Detective Comics' already. I want a good detective movie in which the investigator happens to be a masked vigilante, not a superhero movie about an observant superhero.
Yes please
Congratulations! Mr. PaulDano
This is perfect damn casting! This Batman movie may end up being great. 🤞🏻
Love him, he's a great actor!!!!
But why?
_____ cast Paul Dano as ______ --- good news
“Jonah Hill doesn’t want to play the unhinged villain character” “Get mf Paul Dano on the phone”
Paul Dano TheRiddler ❔ TheBatman Batman
So who was Jonah Hill supposed to be? Too many villains! This is solid casting. Just leave it with the Riddler. There’s so much good material to draw from for Riddler that would be amazing in film!
Sooo good
SavinTheBees
If he was second choice way better pick than Jonah Hill
Pai19792
YEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Classic
I legit can’t wait for a new live action Riddler and this casting is A1. I loved Paul Dano in “Love and Mercy”
I like it
The only riddler I wanna see on screen is the mofo who plays him in Gotham.
A decent choice.
ahhleeex
Clitzy is a beast
He don’t look evil at all
malee_olivia jacklewis289
blom_malou fan min tvilling
I think he'll play the part very well
Should be PaulyDanan he’d do a quare job!
YES YES YES!
Brilliant choice , amazing actor 👌
He can do it, but so can Evan Peters or Paul Bettany.
Now he’s a brilliant actor !
Excellent!
confirmed kino
Pretty stop on casting
Great casting, we need a DCU that can move forward and actually create a comic book story arc. Telling stories in arcs like Marvel is how comics work. You need to honor that and not make excuses cuz Feige beat them to it. Make a long standing DCU using young actors COME ON
I have never seen this man on screen so it's a good signing
johnmerro1 👀
Who?
I see it
When will Paul Dano star in the David Byrne biopic?
Guess Jonah hill didn’t get the part?
CLASSIC DANO. CapeKino incoming.
Actually am excited for this one!
Oooh yes!! Nice!!
Stop
Paul Dano is a fantastic actor, he’s perfect for the riddler
Oh this actually works
Incredible casting so far
He reminds me of Steve Buscemi.
batmanbiscuits
This is such great casting 🤩👍🏼
This guy is a badass, great cast
this casting 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Patterson as Batman? Yeah no thanks 😖
andrewmc_6 AHHH this would be so freaky!!!!
So excited to see this guy get his ass kicked by Pattinson, especially after seeing it from Hugh and DDL.
He would have made a better Jarvis Tetch aka TheMadHatter TheBatman
Who?
YO this is hype
Great can't wait!
Please tell me there will be a scene where Paul Dano slaps Robert Pattinson in the face like he did Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. Let's see Pattinson prove his acting chops.
I dano see this one coming
simply_e_best Should be goooood!!
I love Paul Dano.
Zuko_of_HAIL
OMG! This is ideal
Never heard of him.
Didn’t even think about this possibility, but I can totally see it and I already loving it. Bring it on!
Yes! Perfect casting!!
Wow. That's a good signing. Great actor. Fits perfectly for the role if this film is going down The Long Halloween route. TheRiddler TheBatman
THIS CAST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
Perfect 👌🏼 dude was a total freak in Prisoners! This is right up his alley
Good choice
What an incredible choice!
Wonderful he's so good
Should've been Michael C Hall
Jasonm72 Morris_Moo
I WANT JARED LETO TO PLAY THE PENGUIN SO I CAN READ ABOUT HIM MAILING UMBRELLAS TO CO-STARS AND EATING NOTHING BUT RAW FISH FOR 6 MONTHS
lmao this is pretty good. hes dispicable in there will be blood and prisoners
Dude looks the part, lets see what he can do.
my favorite movie of his is SwissArmyMan
whopabelmok Lipanfs
A SERVEEEEEEEEEE
Phil_Lewis_ quality pick
Now get Jesse Plemons for Penguin
Perfect
The casting is really great so far
good job casting director
LETSSSSSGOOOOOO
Perfect casting he’s creepy
The casting so far is perfect
YESSSSS
the Bats gonna drink this poor boys milkshake
Now if only Edward wasn’t Batman. 🙄🔫
Cough cough trash lmfao they just tryna get whoever to get this movie rolling like Jonah hill woulda been a badass penguin an the girl playing Catwoman won't work imo everything else is fine but this is not gonna work sorry
Dawg just looks like he's cooking up riddles nonstop
I really wish they were doing The War of Jokes and Riddles. He actually resembles that Nigma and it would be a nutso story to see on screen 'Kite-man; hell yeah'
Oh, GIANT upgrade over for Jonah Hill for this.
He’s perfect!
This is a casting upgrade from Jonah Hill
JediBryGuy I’m actually very glad it went this way. If the role was going to be Riddler I’m glad it’s not Jonah. He’s not right for that. Paul Dano however is great for it.
oh my god yes
Now this is how you cast a film!
Thus far, the casting for TheBatman has been delightfully Interesting to me.
jake_robbins good choice this so thats jonah hill as penguin
That looks... interesting...
Called it! 19 mins in.
Love This!!
oop
Brilliant casting choice. TheBatman
sxpphicsansa !
I didn't like that they broke from the Nygma name, but this looks like it could take the character back in the right direction.
Let’s be real. The real stars of Batman are the villains. Excellent choice.
Excellent choice, very good actor
A WIN
Enough with the comic book shit! The nerds have enough to satisfy them! Let’s please move past this dumb bullshit.... That is all, thank you.
he got hella creepy in Ruby Sparks.
Perfect
Nice choice
This movie might just be something pretty terrible.....
That's damn good casting!
Damn...spot on casting
Good choice. Good choice. 👏👏👏
Good shit my man
I love it already
Arrvw WOAH
expert_oscar GREAT CHOICE!!!!! Liked him in everything I’ve seen him in a underused talent
Interesting.
SavinTheBees BRO!
GraceRandolph 😬😬😬🤯
Definitely looks like a better casting then Jonah Hill or Seth rogen
Warner Bros. Is making a big mistake by not canceling this film and incorporate Joaquin Phoenix in the next Batman. Have all the crazies escaping Arkham’s and Batman is trying to catch em all especially Joker
hell yeah.
This is a good choice
He would be great! Excellent choice.
holy shit :0
love jonah but this is a huge upgrade
he is fantastic,, this casting is excellent
He already looks like a better choice than Jonah Hill.
Smug. Punchable. Always shares his milkshake. He'll be great!
Omg yessss
Now this issa riddler
haaniyah_ OH THIS IS A GOOD CHOICE
MrKnight115 Alright this is pretty good casting I can totally see him as the riddler
He looks like the kind of guy who would hide your cookies and give you a series of riddles to find them. So, good choice! TheBatman
Great casting. Paul Dano is SO, SO, GOOD. Great actor.
Nice
Omg - Perfect! riddler
Odametal Esse cara é especialista em fazer personagem perturbado, né!
oh yes.
Excellent news!
This can be a serve
BAAAAANG! Love it
