Why Paul Dano Says His Riddler Is ‘Scarier’ in ‘The Batman’
“Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay spoke with Paul Dano and Jeffrey Wright about their roles in “The Batman.”
Dano explained why his version of the Riddler is potentially scarier than previous iterations, saying, “The way [director] Matt [Reeves] entered this character in this film… the detective element and the way he uses the character of the Riddler… I think is totally brilliant. I think the contact that he’s making with reality, rather than it being larger than life in a way, that is easier to tuck away as an audience member. I think this Riddler is more scary, I think the film is potentially a little more terrifying because of the reality that is there.
