Of all the rumors heard about the next Batman sequel, there’s at least one that could pan out.

While promoting the upcoming release of Public Enemies, Johnny Depp addressed talk about another possible Christian Bale collaboration. Although there are no current plans to have Johnny play an updated version of the Riddler (Jim Carrey brought the character to life in 1995), the Oscar nominee said he might be willing to give the role a shot.

“I mean it seems like it would be alright. I always liked the Riddler,” Depp told MTV. “I always liked Frank Gorshin. Frank Gorshin was brilliant. I always thought he was a great actor. So if the opportunity came, I’d definitely juggle it,” he said.

Interesting. Very interesting indeed….
