I had another idea for a TV show. This one takes place between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. It would barely feature Batman and when it did he would never say anything. It would just be about knowing he\'s there. It would almost be like a buddy cop drama set in Gotham. It would be an excuse to Nolanize more characters without making more movies. I know they were interested in having the Riddler played by Leo DiCaprio. They opted for Bane instead. I used that as inspiration for the face. The rest of the design is based on the later comics stories where the Riddler goes legit and competes with Batman in terms of who can be a better detective. My idea for a Gotham Nights TV show season one would involve the Riddler losing his business as an investigator because of Batman, driving him to exercise his genius and penchant for puzzles to create crimes he believes only he could solve. I would imagine Michael Pitt from Boardwalk Empire would be. Suitable replacement for DiCaprio and I think the old timey pants hiked up brings out the sort of OCD like qualities that old fashioned people tend to exhibit, and OCD is an affliction Riddler is said to have in many stories.
