Look Guys, If You Want Brian Austin Green In 'Batman 3,' Just Say So
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 2:35 AM on August 16, 2008
After The Dark Knight filled out its ensemble cast with people like Eric Roberts and Anthony Michael Hall, we're sure that Christopher Nolan's office was besieged by headshots from every actor in Hollywood in dire need of a comeback. The latest is former 90210-er Brian Austin Green, who tells MTV Movies that he isn't interested in simply being tenth-billed; no, he's going for the brass ring and nominating himself to play the Riddler in the next film. There's just one catch: if they're going to cast him, they kind of need to let him know now...
Not that he's thought it so far ahead that he actually knows what he'd want to do with the Riddler, however.
"That's impossible to answer now," Green said. "That would take years of preparation."
We eagerly await the reel that the erstwhile David Silver will put together to convince Chris Nolan's casting office that he's the man for the job. Though Green may not yet know in which direction he wants to take his Riddler performance, might we suggest that he start from this terrifying, Roger Rabbit-ing base and work outwards?

He meant years of "Preparation H."

Yes, Brian, yes. Excellent strategy for gaining Hollywood clout.
And after Chris Nolan tosses your headshot in the trash and hires a popular A-list entertainer with far superior acting skills (Johnny Depp), you should say that you couldn't accept the role anyway due to "scheduling conflicts."

You know who'd make a great Riddler? Bea Arthur.

Hopefully he'll get as obsessively nuts about it as Sean Young did with Catwoman. Imagine him unexpectedly appearing on The View wearing a homemade Riddler costume.

I'd rather see his fiance, Megan Fox, in this movie. She's hot!

I guess Brian didn't get that call back about joining the cast of the new 90210.

This was all just the result of an innocent little typo. He thought he was applying to play "the Diddler."

He didn't totally suck on that show with Freddie Prinze Jr. a few years back. Perhaps he should just stick to the small screen.

Just shut it and make another hip-hop album, Silver.

Oh he'll be offered a part all right. As one of the Riddler's nameless almost faceless goons that Bats disposes of without breaking a sweat. BAM!

Riddle me this, Brian...how are you and Summer's Eve alike?
You are both douches.

You know who would do a great job as Bane? Corey Haim. He's got the blank stare down, and no need to remember lines.

Aw, leave him be.
Poor guy was just dreamin out loud. He never said he expected to get the role. Just that he'd love to play it.
...Who wouldn't? Let's not all jump on the Hollywood hope crushing bandwagon. It's tough enough out here for a former teen idol.

BAG needs to team up with Sean Young and both take an ad out in Variety to nominate themselves as the NEW Batman and Catwoman reimagining of the reimagining.
