Riddle me this: Batman goes Green?

Not that we didn't get a chuckle out of him in "Domino," where he did an unexpectedly decent job at self-parody with fellow "90210" alum Ian (that's EYE-an) Ziering, but hey, we must protest the Brian Austin Green campaign to be the Riddler in the next Batman movie.

First of all, who asked him for script and/or villain ideas anyway?

And second...well, do we really need a second?

The inevitable rush to Christopher Nolan's door was probably already well under way long before "The Dark Knight" clocked in at the Second Biggest Movie of All Time. And seeing the potential Oscar-nominated performance of the late Heath Ledger no doubt has made many a young and hungry actor feel that the Batman franchise is the place to bust out the Method.

Maybe Green was heartened to hear that career-resurrector Quentin Tarantino has made the most unlikely casting choice of "The Love Guru" himself, Mike Myers, for his upcoming WWII flick, "Inglorious Bastards." (29 lines, no Hindi accent!)

They did seem to dig him at the Con (see photo), where he made an appearance as part of the "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," his current Fox show. Then again, those chicks were mad-horny this year!

If you're up on your Gold Rush trivia (what? you're not?), you'd know that Green got some ink on this here blog a few months back for perhaps the most high-profile awards nomination of his life: Spike TV Guy's Choice Award for "luckiest bastard" because he dated Megan Fox. (He won!)

What we're trying to say is, who wouldn't want to be part of the Christian Bale-led juggernaut in its next incarnation? But please, dude, this is just embarrassing.
