I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman (1966)

Well hey there, Gotham! The name’s Frank. I’ve been a follower of the Gotham Podcast (or Gotham Central, or Gotham Inc., or Got Ham, or whatever they’re calling it this week) since it first began, and it’s a pleasure to finally be writing a column for the site! Growing up, I never considered myself a Batman fan. Superman always was and always will be my favorite hero. Take a moment to absorb it. Pick up those Batarangs you just threw at your screen. Feeling better? Ready to move on? Good!

From The Soundtracks: "The Riddler"-Method Man

Batman movies have had an interesting relationship with popular music over the years. Chris Nolan's entrance in to Gotham City, Batman soundtracks have had a mix of some of the best and most bizarre musical selections for any films, let alone films featuring The Dark Knight.

In this segment, we here at the Gotham Central Podcast like to take a look and some of the songs that have stood out, and this selection is no exception. Method Man is one of the most respected MCs to grace a mic, and in "The Riddler" he brings a great sound and style that I can only wish translated to the screen for Batman Forever. Method Man provides an incredible mix of New York hip hop and carnival music, so if you haven't heard this, make sure to check out the video below.

Holy F*&! Batman! The Riddler Confirmed for Batman 3?!

Well, well, well, what do we have here!? According to an article posted over at First Showing, The Riddler is listed as one of the names listed on a casting grid (which apparently confirms everything in the world, but I have no idea, I'm not a film guy), and guess who's listed as a possible candidate for the role?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt. That's right! The kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun, (500) Days of Summer, and the recent Christopher Nolan mind-eff, Inception!

Now, I don't know about you guys, but this is, indeed, my dream casting for this role, so I am looking forward to it! Also, look towards San Diego Comic Con this weekend for more details. And also don't forget our Batman 3 theories special episode coming later this week!
