The Riddler almost totally changed Nolan's movies.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT By rejecting The Riddler in The Dark Knight Rises, director Christopher Nolan avoided a major issue that ended two superhero movie franchises, both in the wider DC Universe and Marvel Universe. Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy stands as one of the best superhero movie series of all time.

Goyer explains that he was asked about that casting by a studio executive right at The Dark Knight's premiere; however, that was not how Goyer and Nolan broke the stories for their Batman movies. The duo would first settle down on what themes they wanted to approach and then choose a villain to serve that story, not pick a villain like DiCaprio as Riddler and build from that.

We had all these pitches. I remember at The Dark Knight [premiere], the head of Warner Bros. said, ‘You gotta do the Riddler. Leo [DiCaprio] as the Riddler.’ That’s not the way we work – not to take anything away from him."
