Speaking about Dano’s performance in the film at DC’s FanDome event last year, director Matt Reeves said:
You know we have a Paul Dano plays a version of the Riddler that no one has ever seen before and it’s really exciting. He’s such an incredibly creative actor and so what he is doing I think is going to blow people’s minds.”
The scenes that have shown The Riddler in action certainly look like Dano’s going to be a menacing presence on screen.
Fans have been having their say, with most liking what they’re seeing:
Stop talking about Riddler's design.

It’s certainly an intriguing look for the character.
However, what ultimately matters is his performance in the film, which looks extremely menacing.
We can’t wait to see Dano’s The Riddler giving Robert Pattinson’s Batman all sorts of trouble.
Joining Pattinson and Dano in the film will be Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell.
The Batman will arrive in cinemas on 4 March.
