I've always said that in the previous Batman series, Jim Carrey and Jack Nicholson were much better suited to each other's roles; That is, Jim as The Joker (a role that, if true to the comic books, would seem to have been written with Carrey's manic energy and off-beat sense of humor in mind, not to mention that Carrey even physically resembles The Joker with no makeup on at all) and Jack as The Riddler (a role that calls for a much more calculating, deliberate, and unquestionably evil portayal), but Carrey's career hadn't progressed far enough at the time for that casting to have taken place.

Y'know, you're right. About the only Jim Carrey movie I can stand is "The Mask" because the role called for over-the-top acting. I never liked Nicholson as The Joker. Too old and fat for the part.

i'd like to see Rowan Atkinson as The Riddler.

or John Malkovich as Egghead.

I can't wait to hear Eddie as the Riddler doing inpressions of Ralph Cramdon and Buckwheat.

I'd like to see him cast as the next Doctor Who. Or Joanna Lumley with Julia Sawalha as her companion.
