The only good thing about those annoying Dark Knight sequel rumors is that it forces the actors on the receiving end to comment about the possibility in the inevitable denial. Our friends at Comic Book Cynic send over word that Johnny Depp has publicly denied rumors that he would be playing The Riddler, while appearing on a radio show. You can listen to the recording on YouTube or read the transcript below:
Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.
Depp: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of.
Host: You’d be a good choice.
Depp: It seems like it’d be a fun gig for a while, yeah.
So there you have it, Depp confirms he is not the Riddler, but doesn’t rule out the possibility. Christopher Nolan, did you hear that?

强尼.戴普可能出演角色莱德勒
《黑骑士》（Dark Knight）要拍续集，谣言不断。其唯一的好处就是迫使剧组的演员按照惯例，否认其可能性。我们在Comic Book Cynic 的朋友放话说，强尼.戴普（Johnny Depp）在接受电台采访时已公开否认其将出演莱德勒这一角色。你可以在 YouTube听其谈话录音或者看一下文字记录。
主持人： 你好，强尼。早些时候，一位听众打电话来说，你得问问关于网上流传你将出演莱德勒这一角色的谣言。
戴普： 哦，对。我听说了。不过我不知道那件事。
主持人：你会被看好的。
戴普：对。好像也挺有趣。
现在你明白了吧。 戴普确认了他不演莱德勒，可并不排除这种可能性。你听到了吗？克里斯托佛.诺兰。
