In the 1995 film Batman Forever, the role of the Riddler was famously portrayed by actor Jim Carrey. However, many people may not know that the role was originally offered to another well-known actor who ultimately rejected it.
That actor was Robin Williams. Williams was actually director Tim Burton's first choice for the role of the Riddler in Batman Forever. Williams was known for his comedic talents and his ability to bring eccentric characters to life, making him a perfect fit for the role of the Riddler.
However, Williams ultimately turned down the role due to creative differences with the filmmakers. He reportedly wanted the character to have a darker and more twisted portrayal, while the filmmakers were looking for a more comedic and over-the-top performance.
Despite Williams' rejection of the role, Jim Carrey went on to deliver a memorable performance as the Riddler, bringing his signature brand of humor and energy to the character.

It's interesting to think about how the film may have been different if Williams had accepted the role. Would his portrayal of the Riddler have been darker and more menacing, or would he have brought the same level of humor and energy that Carrey did?
Regardless, Carrey's performance as the Riddler is still beloved by fans of the Batman franchise, and the character remains one of the most iconic villains in comic book history.
So next time you watch Batman Forever, remember that it could have been Robin Williams asking, "Riddle me this, Batman," instead of Jim Carrey.
