The Perfect Riddler


Forgive me if this has been suggested before and therefore full props to the original poster but after doing some IMDB surfing, I just think the part would be perfect for Michael.

The reasons why it would work are as follows:

1. Michael is incredibly thorough with his research and acting method. He will produce a very justified portrayal of The Riddler, not some Disney-esque comedy version like Carrey.

2. He looks different. He's not the hero-idol mould and he's not the incredibly ugly-villain mould. He's got that intelligent villain look.

3. He's not the biggest star in the world so instead of having "a name" like DiCaprio or WIll Smith who wouldn't dare do anything brave like the Late Heath Ledger did with Joker, Sheen would want to out-do Ledger (not publically, but ambition-wise) to further his career as a great actor.

4. Before anyone complains about him not being American or anything similar, see his movies, he can do any accent you want better than anyone else so no hating!

Anyways, discuss?

He's more of a Mad Hatter than a Riddler.
