Prince Andrew has revealed that he is set to make his acting debut in the latest Batman film, where he will play a villain known as The Diddler.

The Diddler is a brand new character created specifically for the new Batman movie, which will see Batman take on a paedophile ring full of the rich and famous.

‘We wanted to take Batman in a new, more realistic direction. Batman will spend the first half of the movie fighting The Diddler, then forget all about him when a deadly virus is released over Gotham,’ the producer told us.

Despite a lack of acting experience, Prince Andrew was considered to be the perfect man for the role thanks to a wealth of experience in the world of diddling.

‘We expect Prince Andrew to hit the ground running,’ said the producer.

The Diddler is expected to have a number of sidekicks and underlings including Glitterful Gary, Roofie Harris, Savile The Savage and Maximum Clifford.
