Eminem wants to get back on the big screen and his role of choice would be The Riddler. Eminem rapped to his reps:
“When it comes to business, you know I ain’t no fiddler…You tell them Batman biggies, I wanna play ‘The Riddler!”
The National Enquirer is reporting that producers are interested in the rapper but Eminem has stiff competition they are also considering Johnny Depp and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Eminem as the riddler makes perfect sense in that The Riddler loves to taunt his victims and law enforcement with clever rhymes-however The Ridder also demands of an actor that he be a dark forceful and charismatic with a stage presence that commands attention and respect. This is where Eminem falls down-he is not and will never be physically imposing. He just doesn’t have presence or charisma that a major character requires if the film is to be believable. We see a better role for Eminem as a somewhat off beat Robin character. What do you think?
