Though we now know who will play Batman in the sequel to Man of Steel, there's still a lot we do not know—e.g., the basic premise, the plot, or, most importantly, the villains.

You know who has a suggestion, though? Justin Timberlake, a.k.a. Mr. Jessica Biel. He stopped by to chat with the 'Jim & Kim Show' on New York's Fresh 102.7 this week, and he cracked that he's be down with playing The Riddler in the upcoming superhero flick.

Of course, it all started with the hosts asking if he'd like to play Batman's famous sidekick. His response?

Not a chance in hell! I ain't playin' Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie. Now [a] villain! I'll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funny enough, is the Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain...The Riddler was like a sociopath. He was proper crazy. So if I'm gonna play crazy, I'm wanna play proper crazy. I'm ready. The Riddler. Gimme a call!

JT as the Riddler? I have to admit I'm a little intrigued. After all, earlier in this very same interview he said he thinks Ben Affleck will make a great Batman, so you already know he's good at making crazy jokes.

Zing!
