So far, it seems that Dano's Riddler will be about as far from Carrey's version of the character as possible. Paul Dano's Riddler is a new spin on the Batman mainstay, complete with a creepy new costume and unnerving speech pattern. With Matt Reeves' The Batman being a darker take on the source material, it's only natural that its version of the Riddler feels very different from Carrey's. While some believe Carrey's Riddler attempted to channel the Joker, his comedic chops actually fed into a nuanced iteration of the character. The Riddler has always been a character that's driven by his need to have his self-perceived genius recognized, so having Carrey's comedy serve as an extension of his desire to be seen works on a deeper level.
The Riddler is certainly one of Batman's most eccentric villains, which not only fit right in with the tone of Schumacher's Batman movies, but also with Carrey's flamboyant, attention-grabbing antics.

While at times this made Carrey's Riddler feel a little closer to the Joker than he should have been, his specific talents were actually put to good use in his turn as the character. Carrey's specific brand of energetic, rubber-faced comedy is what made him a star, and it's only natural that he'd bring elements of it to the character of the Riddler.
