There's been plenty of debate over the years regarding whether violence and terror in movies lead to an increase of those things in reality, and while some might quickly dismiss the idea, Carrey's concern has some validity.Īnd lest fans of The Batman think Carrey is outright dismissing the film, he did acknowledge that he has no desire to reject it. In that sense, one might understand where Carrey is coming from.

Many have pointed out that Dano's Riddler in The Batman is an unsettling representation of a villain who could be all-too-real in today's society. Carrey didn't wish to overtly criticize it, stating: The beloved actor admitted he hasn't yet, but that overall he has some mixed feelings about the film and its depiction of the villain. While promoting his new film Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with UNILAD, Carrey was asked if he's seen The Batman and if he has any thoughts on this new Riddler.

He certainly lives up to his name by leaving various riddles for Bruce and Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) to work out, but Dano's depiction of the character is also a far cry from previous portrayals of the famous comics character. A masked creep with a love for 'Ave Maria,' the Riddler aims to expose Gotham's corruption by killing off its most prominent public figures one by one. Dano's Riddler is the main villain in The Batman.
