    He'd be great as the Riddler. It's almost too perfect. Sheldon believes he's smarter than everyone else, and so does the Riddler. Riddler is Sheldon turned up to 11.

      Oh hell yeah!!!

      Never thought about it before...but now that Jim Parsons is actively seeking to be the new silver screen Riddler...oh heck yes...he would absolutely rule...looks like he was born to play the part.

      I like the ongoing joke in Big Bang...Sheldon looks like a cross between Pee Wee Herman and C-3PO, lol.

        I'm in the "no" camp. Maybe if he plays it serious? Hmm, no, I still dont see if as a modern day Riddler. Maybe back in the old movies with Clooney.

          Parsons is a very good actor...I'm sure he can tone it down...and be a serious Riddler, but with hints of humor...I see him as a very cerebral Riddler.

            IF not the Riddler, then maybe the 70s reboot/ Challenge of Super Friends version of ToyMan.

            I think he'd work as Riddler, I just never have cared for the character that much. The recent story by Scott Snyder in the Batman comic is about the only Riddler story I've ever thought was above average.

              I'm in the NO camp too. He seems too "milk toast" to play the Riddler. A geeky side-kick, maybe, but the Riddler? Never.

                I think he could do it, Staying away from the Frank Gorshin style which was so over the top it was perfect...unlike the horrible Jim Carrey version.

                  I bet he could given the right hair, make-up and attitude. He is an actor after all.

                    I'm also in the NO camp. I CAN'T STAND that guy! I can't watch that show even though all my friends tell me to. I just can't get past my hatred of Sheldon.

                      Count me in the 'No' Camp...and I am a HUGE BBT Fan.

                      Cory Michael Smith from Gotham is Dead On perfect to me, so, if not him then another Unknown Actor would be better then Jim Parsons.
