Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan has compared X Factor judge Simon Cowell to The Riddler in Batman.

Meighan told Absolute Radio Cowell had the ability to draw in viewers like the Batman baddie preys on his victims.

"Riddler puts this thing on this patient's head and it draws him into TV,” the singer said.

"That's what Simon Cowell has done, he's basically drawn everyone in and robbed them."

It is not the first time Meighan has criticised the X Factor.

In November, the Kasabian frontman took aim at recent contestants John and Edward, saying they had “lost their heads”.

  • Are you serious? Can Simon really act? It's not that I don't think he can, but the thing is that the Batman series already has enough popularity from the last movie. The next movie shouldn't attract attention through pure stardom, it needs to deliver what the fans expect after Heath Ledger's performance.
