"Dane Cook has revealed that he would be interested in playing the Riddler in Batman 3. The 37-year-old told MTV News that he loves the direction that filmmaker Christopher Nolan has steered the franchise in with Batman Begins and follow-up The Dark Knight.  Cook stated that his performance of the villain would be akin to what late actor Heath Ledger did with his  Oscar-winning portrayal of the Joker.  He said: &amp;quot;If they brought back the Riddler - a new Riddler the way they did with the Joker that would be badass. I would do that.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;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. &amp;quot;[My performance] 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.&amp;quot; Johnny Depp previously admitted that he is intrigued by the part of the Riddler.
