David Tennant has denied internet speculation that he will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie. The Doctor Who star explained that he has had no contact with the filmmakers behind the Dark Knight follow-up, though he believes that he would be a good choice for the villainous role.

Tennant says,

“I probably should be [playing The Riddler], But you’d think my agent would have mentioned something if it was true.”

Tennant previously admitted to being a fan of the ’60s TV incarnation of Batman and admitted that it would be a “boyhood dream come true” to play The Riddler.
