Riddle me this: Can the star of “Superbad” deliver as “The Batman” villain?

Jonah Hill, 35, is in “early and sensitive” talks with Warner Bros. to play The Riddler, according to The Hollywood Reporter, while Collider claimed it’s a done deal.

Aside from voicing the Green Lantern in the “Lego Movie” series, the upcoming Bruce Wayne reboot would mark Hill’s first major role in a live-action superhero flick. The movie begins filming later this year.

Hill would co-headline with “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, 33, who was confirmed to replace Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader in the DC Comics franchise, along with “Westworld” actor Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, who was last played by JK Simmons in “Justice League.”

Hill, a two-time Oscar nominee for “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Moneyball,” has some big shoes to fill. The role of Edward Nygma, better known as The Riddler, was last brought to life in 1995 by Jim Carrey in Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever.”

Although some DC fanatics didn’t appreciate Carrey’s signature rubber-faced delivery and ecstatic humor infused into the iconic villain, the comedy legend admitted in a 2014 interview with MTV UK that he wouldn’t mind another turn in a superhero comic adaptation: “I’d love to work in the new, graphic novel versions of the movie.”

While we wait for Carrey’s unlikely return to the series, the “Planet of the Apes” director Matt Reeves will lead the new “Batman” production, which is set to premiere in 2021.
