David Tennant craves 'Batman' villain role

Playing Batman's arch nemesis The Riddler would reportedly be a "boyhood dream come true" for David Tennant.

"I'd love to play the Riddler and be bad to Batman," the Doctor Who star told the Daily Express.

Explaining his love of the 1960's television serial that starred Adam West as the caped crusader, Tennant added: "It was so much fun to watch. I thought The Riddler was one of the most freakish villains, especially with that wild laugh.

"Every morning there would be a new villain - Eartha Kitt as Catwoman with that gurgling meow, Cesar Romero as the frenzied Joker and Burgess Meredith's 'quack-quacking' penguin."
