Robin Williams wants a job in the next "Batman" film. The actor who adores the comic film franchise has admitted that he would love to play one of Batman's enemies, The Riddler. "I would do Batman in a second, playing anyone. I'd play The Riddler in the next one," he tells Empire magazine.
The 58-year-old admits that "it would be hard to top Heath as the villain and I'm a little hairy for tights," he adds.
Williams additionally reveals that he was offered parts in two of the previous "Batman" films, but the roles were eventually given to other stars. He says, "The Batman films have screwed me twice before: years ago they offered my The Joker and then gave it to Jack Nicholson, then they offered me The Riddler and gave it to Jim Carrey. I'd be like, 'OK, is this a real offer? If it is, then the answer's yes. Don't pump me again motherf**kers'."

Takes a Brave Man to Pull a Joke on the Joker
Jack Nickolson is not exactlly known for being the kind of guy who can take a joke. In fact he's usually kind of a dick about it.
Jack, who played the Joker in the 1989 Batman Movie
was reportedly furious that he wasn't consulted by either Heath Ledger or Chris Nolan about how to play the Joker in The Dark Knight
, as if he's some sort of expert on the subject.
Regardless, you know that Jack probably thought Heath Ledger was a punk ass bitch.
That's what makes this picture so hilarious. Because you can just see in Jack's eyes that he is considering the thought of murdering the person who put that picture of the Heath Ledger version of the Joker in front of him to sign.

Batman 3D
Watch out for that Batarang!
Our friends at ign report that Director Christopher Nolan
and his director of photography Wally Pfister are mulling shooting all
of Batman 3 in
either 3D or IMAX.
Cinematical's Todd Gilchrist chatted with Pfister last week at a Dallas Film Society awards ceremony, during which time the Oscar-nominated cinematographer talked up the visual game plan for the highly anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight.
"What Chris and I have talked about is doing something cool and something interesting," Pfister told the site. "[Director] Brad Bird was [saying] 'you've got to shoot the whole thing in IMAX!' I was like, yeah, I've talked to Chris about that." Pfister believes, though, that the camera technology required to shoot an entire movie in IMAX may be too difficult to pull off.
Pfister also said the idea of shooting Batman 3 in the suddenly popular 3D format is under consideration. "I think Chris is game for doing something interesting like that, Lord knows that the 3-D fad might pass by the time that summer comes around," said Pfister. He added that one thing that is certain about Batman 3 is that it will be shot on film and not video.
