Justin Timberlake Would Like to Portray Riddler in Batman Film
Justin Timberlake is keen to go mean and green on the big screen as Batman's foe The Riddler.
The singer/actor has applauded Ben Affleck's casting as the Caped Crusader in the Man of Steel sequel, revealing he has become a big fan of the Argo director and star after working with him on new film
He tells radio network
And if movie bosses are considering more Batman movies, there is one comic book role he would be interested in.
He explains, "I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie. Now (a) villain! I'll 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 was proper crazy. So if I'm gonna play crazy, I'm wanna play proper crazy. I'm ready. The Riddler. Gimme a call!"
Jim Carrey and late TV veteran Frank Gorshin have both previously portrayed The Riddler onscreen.

'Kick-Ass' Creator Defends Violence in Sequel
The creator/producer of the film 'Kick-Ass' has defended the level of violence in the sequel, insisting movies cannot be blamed for influencing real life gun crimes.
The movie, which features Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz as crime-fighting youngsters, has been mired in controversy ever since one of its stars, Jim Carrey, announced he would not be supporting it in the aftermath of a school shooting in Connecticut last year.
Carrey's protest came amid swirling debate over whether violence onscreen has an impact in the real world and calls for the tightening of arms laws, but Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar is adamant films have nothing to do with gun crime.
He tells Britain's Daily Record newspaper, "I don't equate gun crime with movies. I equate crime with guns. In the U.K. and U.S. we see all the same movies but gun crimes are a thousand times more in the U.S. because there are guns available."
Carrey has become a vocal advocate of changing America's gun laws following a spate of shootings, including the Sandy Hook school massacre in December when 20 young children and six adults were murdered.

Jim Carrey Apologises For Lashing Out at Weapons Rights Defenders
(Los Angeles)—Actor Jim Carrey, who spoke out against gun violence after a series of deadly shootings in the United States in 2012, apologised to assault weapon rights defenders on Monday.
Carrey had tweeted a series of insults at gun owners and gun rights supporters, mainly after a gun massacre at a Newtown Connecticut school that killed 26 people including 20 children last December.
"Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting," Carrey tweeted in February.
And in March, he tweeted: "154 BULLETS FIRED AT SANDY HOOK! 2 handguns n a bushmaster rifle on Lanza. 1600 rnds of amo at his house. WE MUST STOP THIS!!"
Despite an outpouring of anguish across America over the school shooting, the US Congress voted against passing new gun control measures earlier this year. And on Monday, Carrey took a different tack on the issue.
"Asslt rifle fans, I do not agree wth u,nor do I fear u but I do love u and I'm sorry tht in my outrage I called you names.That was wrong," the Canadian-born US actor said in a Twitter posting.
Minutes later, Carrey added "Btw I don't need a crisis mgr, just a conscience. Calling ppl names is inappropriate but my position on assault weapons hasn't changed."
Last month, the actor, 51, said he would not take part in promoting his new film "Kick-Ass 2" saying that after the Newtown shooting, in hindsight, it appeared too violent to him.

Kick-Ass Creator Speaks Out After Jim Carrey Snubs Film
The creator of the Kick-Ass movie franchise has hit back at Jim Carrey after the actor publicly withdrew his support for the film over its depiction of violence.
The Dumb & Dumber star announced on Sunday he had experienced a change of heart about his upcoming release Kick-Ass 2, following the gun massacre at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School last December.
He tweeted, "I did Kickass a month b4 (before) Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence. My apologies to others involve with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart."
Mark Millar, who wrote the Kick-Ass comic books and is a producer on the films, admits he is "baffled" by Carrey's statement as he insists the star knew all about the script's gory content when he signed up for the role.
Millar also reveals Carrey was drawn to playing Colonel Stars and Stripes as the character is a vigilante who refuses to use a gun.
In a post on his website, Millar writes, "I'm baffled by this sudden announcement as nothing seen in this picture wasn't in the screenplay eighteen months ago. Yes, the body-count is very high, but a movie called Kick-Ass 2 really has to do what it says on the tin...
"Ironically, Jim's character in Kick-Ass 2 is a born-again Christian and the big deal we made of the fact that he refuses to fire a gun is something he told us attracted him to the role in the first place. Ultimately, this is his decision, but I've never quite bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life."
The forthcoming sequel, a follow-up to Matthew Vaughn's 2010 hit, stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz as youngsters who team up to fight bullies.
