Eddie Murphy = The Riddler

Sounds sketchy but thought I'd pass this along.

FUNNYMAN EDDIE MURPHY will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal.

The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to reprise the role played by JIM CARREY in 1995גs Batman Forever.

The surprise move follows speculation linking Pirates of the Caribbean star JOHNNY DEPP to the part.

The film, set for a 2010 release, is being developed under the working title Gotham.

Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin.

CHRISTIAN BALE will return as Bruce Wayne, while MICHAEL CAINE will again play Bruceגs assistant Alfred.

Meanwhile, Brit RACHEL WEISZ is said to be up for the Catwoman role.

SPOILER wrote:Insiders also revealed to The Sun the flick will end on a cliffhanger over whether Batman survives a blast at Wayne Towers.
Nolan had been tight-lipped about the future of the Batman films after being rocked by the January death of HEATH LEDGER ג tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

A film insider said: גChris wasnגt sure if he wanted to do another movie but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion.

גEddieגs a fantastic addition. Everyoneגs excited to see what he does as the Riddler.ג

If ANY of this turns out to be true...

there is absolutely nothing confirmed for the next Batman, there's not even anything in the works yet. Any site posting this shit is just doing it to attract attention

Anyone else think Crispin Glover was born to play the Joker at least once?

The Sun is basically the worst newspaper in the world, is this rumor anywhere else?

British tabloids will report anything. If I wrote in telling them I gave Britney Spears herpes sores on her ass they would report it.

Christopher Nolan has already said that he hates the character of Robin, a feeling mutually agreed with Christian Bale so chances of seeing Batman's faggy acrobatic sidekick is very unlikely.

Bale has even gone as far to say he will leave the franchise if Robin is introduced.
