Frank Gorshin, the Riddler from the orginal Batman TV series with Adam West, has died. He was 72. From what I remember of the show he was my favorite villian. Always found it odd that he’d give away what he was doing. You’d think he’d smarten up and give him a “bad” riddle. But anyway, I always liked Frank Gorshin’s Riddler.
It seems Newsarama is saying Beast will be played by Kelsey Grammer. The voice is right on for me, but its his looks I’m worried about. I’m sure they can cover it up with makeup (which there should be alot of since this will be the Blue furry beast), but I’ll have to wait and see before I feel good about this one. I don’t think Beast should be some 50 year old mutant, why would have a need for the school? Be interesting to see how they answer that question. In the comic he’s been there since day one and is now a teacher. He no longer needs the school the school needs him.
In other X3 tidbits Juggernaut may have been casted.
