Say it isn't so...Eddie Murphy as the riddler in next Batman? (1 Viewer)

[paul_v]

Eddie Murphy as Riddler? Shia LeBeuf as Robin? Robin???? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eddie Murphy is set to play The Riddler in the new Batman film | The Sun |Showbiz|Bizarre

 

[Henry Gale]

The Sun?

The Sun???

Really?

 

[paul_v]

It was on Drudge Report which is where I got the link

 

[TravisR]

Rest easy, Bat-fans, that news is completely false.

 

[Ed Moroughan]

LOL! That's an all-star lineup of BS!

 

[Steve_Tk]

I heard Britney Spears is Bat girl

 

[RyanAn]

Are Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman the top contenders... in real life?

 

[cb1]

It was also reported on Fox News this morning

 

[Radioman970]

Well, it just may be the film that Murphy "comes back" with. He needs some despirate help! I hope it's true.

 

[Pete-D]

The Shia LaBeouf as Robin is the real tip off that this is fake, lol.

Nolan and Bale both have already said Robin will never happen.

 

[Steve Christou]

Latest - Nolan given the boot, Ratner steps in, yay!

[Sam Favate]

Yeah, very clearly bogus info. That the likes of Drudge and Fox picked it up (and no one else) doesn't surprise me.

 

[Holadem]

That was your 1st mistake.

This sounds pretty good to me, a lighter tone would be a nice change from that dreary Dark Knight.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Yeah, I'm sure they feel eager to take a completely different path after Dark Knight since it did so poorly at the box office...

 

[Ruz-El]

Have to keep the series fresh! Nolan wont want to repeat himself, he;s an artist!

This has now been picked up by the New York Times website, quoting the already mentioned above sources.

 

[TravisR]

It's nice to see that The New York Times is less reliable than Ain't It Cool News. I know that The Times aren't in the movie reporting business but common sense should really make you wonder about the validity of this news when you're arguably the most respected newspaper on the planet.

 

[Pete-D]

Has Nolan ever even done a "light" movie?

If this was even true (which it almost 99.9% certainly is not) who's to say Eddie Murphy's Riddler wouldn't be a serial killer and Robin is a street jigolo, lol.

Nolan's Batman films are never going to be "light", accept that and move on already, you had four "MTV Batman" movies already.

 

[Steve Christou]

Ah yes, when Batman films were fun and brightly coloured. [smiles whistfully] Danny Elfman's wonderful theme music... [sniff] Now it's just... noise [bites fist]

 

[Larry Sutliff]

They were saying the same thing in 1992...
