As if announcing that Ben Affleck will be taking over the role of Batman isn’t enough stress for fans of the comic legend, this next piece of news might have some jumping off the highest building in Gotham city.
In a recent interview, Justin Timberlake spoke openly about his passion to play the Riddler.
On Tuesday, JT spoke with the Jim and Kim show where he spoke about Ben Affleck being picked to play Batman and what role he would want to play if asked.
“Ben Affleck as Batman, I like it,” Timberlake told Fresh 102.7′s Jim and Kim Show on Tuesday.
He was there to chat up his upcoming film with Affleck, Runner Runner.) “I worked with Ben last summer and I’ve seen his process. I think he’s a brilliant filmmaker. I think he’s an extreme talent so he could surprise a lot of people.”
When asked about playing Batman’s sidekick, Timberlake ruled that out completely.
“Not a chance in hell,” he said, laughing. “I ain’t playin’ Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie. Now VILLAIN! Ill tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funny enough, is the Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain. “The Riddler was like a sociopath,” he said. “He was proper crazy. So if I’m gonna play crazy, I’m wanna play proper crazy.”
He went on to say, “I’m ready,” said Timberlake. “The Riddler. Gimme a call.”
