He didn't speak one word until the last 30 minutes or so of the movie but was able to hold his own with Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrel and Alan Arkin. He also does an amazing performance in Love and Mercy-it's that performance that actually got him the role as the Riddler.

This man has been one of the most underrated actors in the past 10 years

[@ohmydaz3]

such an incredible actor! I loved him as the riddler. Also, he is so charming.

[@joanneweiss3864]

Being 64 & growing up obsessed since day 1 w TV Batman, loving every movie since, can't wait til see this, been waiting for a really dark version!!! Everyone in cast looks exceptional!

[@yoshimitsu8643]

Paul Dano is one of those rare actors who nails every character he plays

[@dz3952]

Last time I saw this guy it was in a movie called " Little miss sunshine" and after seeing him as the Riddler makes him legendary now in my book!

[@vivianasantosb]

you should watch “Swiss army man” and “Okja” !

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

He has a face of an angel, but acted terrifyingly amazing

[@hoodtohollywood]

Paul Dano is a brilliant actor. He's on that path to an Oscar Award.

[@SILV3RS_Music]

Love he’s getting praised for his work and happy how he is getting more recognized

[@oswiroa4973]

The riddler was so creepy yet goofy as he should be. Amazing performance by Dano!

[@soledadcollio675]

he's such a talent, he deserves so much more.

[@theuchiha7]

Paul Dano scared me in “prisoners” as a child and he was a frightening and somewhat funny Riddler.

[@sickpup820]

His performance is up there in the Jack Nicholson/Heath Ledger tier of Batman villains. Go see it!

[@marciocouto3543]

love his sense of humor.

[@sid_enfield1234]

He played the Riddler so perfect 🔥🔥The innocent face with a psychopathic mentality 🔥🔥

[@oneytemple2739]

"There Will Be Blood" ranks as one fo my favorite movies of all time. Great actor.

[@mecchabaron64]

I never really knew who Paul was before This role, but I'm certainly intrigued by him now just by how well he played this role. A Riddler to define a generation for sure

[@jonathonfleming2430]

Watch “There will Be Blood”. Trust me.

[@viditjain2653]

Paul Dano exceeded my expectations. He's one of the best Batman villains after Heath and Joaquin's Jokers

[@adrianmasters250]

He did what nobody has ever done before, he made the Riddler scary and worthy of respect.

[@THE-zv7vj]

this kid is a great actor. cant wait to see him in more roles.. His riddler was outstanding

[@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker]

I did not expect the Riddler, a villain the comics and movies historically take a lighter look at to be so scary. Very very enthralling performance, I think I'm a fan now

[@NWRJ]

I've had a long time crush and appreciation for Paul Dano. He was amazing as the Riddler in The Batman!
