Dwight Schrute is The Riddler

I'm going to go out on a limb and say BOGUS.

I'm going to go ahead and agree...the title of the movie gave it away for me. Three Dark Knight Returns? Yeah right. I remember all the rumors leading up to The Dark Knight, this its just the latest

I agree its bogus, but it might be called The Dark Knight Returns. Thats the name of a Frank Miller Batman series. Since Batman Begins is loosely based on Miller's Batman: Year One, it isn't crazy to think it could be named that, especially since the Cops are now chasing Batman in Nolan's universe.

Keep in mind The Office may be done after next year, as 'Michael Scott' is leaving...Rain Wilson could try to turn his career in a different direction to break out of the typecast...and being in this series as a villain would do that, as he wouldnt be returning as Dwight Schrute

I don't think anyone is saying Rainn Wilson wouldn't be interested.

Joseph Gordon Levitt would be great in some sort of role. Honestly, who had the teen for 3rd Rock from the Sun pegged as a breakout Hollywood star?
 
The Riddler Confirmed as Main Villain in Batman 3 | WorstPreviews.com

IMO this is the best site for movie news and rumors.

FirstShowing got its hands on a studio casting grid for Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" installment. The grid, which is used to keep production companies and agencies in the loop on the project's progress, lists a few bits of information about the new movie.

First, it says that the movie is still being called "Batman 3," which means that an official title has yet to be picked. Second, The Riddler is listed as the main villain. And finally, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on the grid as the actor to play The Riddler. For now though, Gordon-Levitt is listed as just "interested."

It's going to be Godon Levitt from Inception:

I think he would be an incredible choice to play the Riddler. He was excellent in INCEPTION…and has the look of a young –“smarty” for the role, much like Ledger did for the Joker. (Can you say, 10 Things I Hate About You connection?) Christopher Nolan likes to keep “his” actors around for his upcoming feature films too. I’m going to go ahead and say it’s a lock.

Gordon Leavitt looks a lot like Heath Ledger. I had heard rumors after The Dark Knight came out that they were talks about Johnny Depp playing The Riddler...which is probably a pipe dream.

Yeah, close I guess. I heard rumors for Batman 3 that Nolan wanted to use the Joker character again...but since Ledger died, that idea was taken out. Maybe Gordon-Levitt brings that thought process back? And, they still find someone to play the riddler? (I think Gordon-Levitt could play either one of those characters.)

Heath Ledger's performance is a tough act to follow...

Johnny Depp playing the Riddler would be like Jack Nicholson playing The Joker: the movie and promotion would instantly be all about Johnny Depp. That seems to be the opposite of how Nolan has casted.
