[Jimmy L. 66]

Can't wait till Monday!
Great news, not too surprising, aren't you becoming " The" voice of the Riddler Wally?
If you aren't already....

[Space Ghost]

That's Great! Congratulations Wally!

Congratulations Wally! Can't wait to see the film and hear your work up on the big screen on Monday!!

[NJ_Batfan]

Great to see someone with such passion for the original series able to make the transition from uberfan to sharing the spotlight with the legends. Congratulations, Wally!

[VintageMike]

Awesome job, spot on! Congrats!

Wally, I was in the audience at the NYCC premiere screening this evening. I had not seen this thread before the screening, so I had no idea you voiced the Riddler. Every time he spoke, I kept thinking, "Who on earth did they get? That's so perfect!" Terrific job! Congrats, and I hope you get to work on the sequel!!

Oh wow Wally, I have to agree, you nailed Frank to a T. I'm sure that somewhere he is smiling down and saying great job. He would be proud I'm sure, and you should be too! I can't wait to see it either.

Thanks a million!

Remind me to tell you the story about the night I auditioned for the role in my home studio, and the strange thing that happened...

I didn't realize Wally was the voice of Riddler in the Arkham games (until reading the voice credits for this film), but I've always liked that portrayal and how it evokes the animated series. I also hadn't watched any preview clips, so that's the kind of Riddler I was expecting in the new film. As a result, I was so caught off-guard when Riddler delivered his first line- sounding uncannily like Gorshin- that I almost missed the remaining dialogue in the rest of the scene!

So definitely a big "HUZZAH!" to Wally for keeping Gorshin alive for the fans. Not only does Wally do a great laugh (which is key) but it's also impressive how he understands the nuances of little things like the way Gorshin used pitch to convey the character's mania.
