Dear Lord No!!

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 1995’s 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.
Meanwhile, Brit RACHEL WEISZ is said to be up for the Catwoman role.

Horrible casting choices right down the line in my opinion. Full Story Here. (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2048300.ece)

No. No he's not. And don't put up a link to the story; you're just encouraging "journalists" to write these rumors because they get easy hits.

The movie has no script, it has no director, it doesn't even have a story outline. It's over three years away.

Stop talking about this. Fucking internet.

Rumors have run wild on who will play the villain or villains in the next Batman movie, but it looks like Eddie Murphy won’t be one of them.

Murphy had been rumored to play the Riddler in the “Dark Knight” sequel, but his rep tells Access Hollywood it’s “not true.”

of all the things wrong with 90s Barman movies, Arnold was the least, especially in that movie. I'll take his Mr. Freeze over: skate/skyboarding away from an exploding rocket (!?), a hag poison ivy, and a mute Bane (who is the only villain to discover the batcave on his own, break in undetected and snap Bruce Wayne's back like a twig. Thereby striking abject fear into the caped crusader's heart and then ruling the city of Gotham for a while)

I don't think Robin would ever find a place in a Nolan Batman, it just wouldn't work. I'm hoping Dent will be big, real big in the next one. But what other villains would work in this series?

Hush would be an excellent movie. If they can make the scarecrow work, then there is no reason that Mad Hatter or Firefly wouldn't, those can both be gritty. I think even Bane could work, so long as they give him the credit of intelligence that he is due, but you would have to find a very big dude, like bigger than Michael Clark Duncan big.

I have lots of faith in Nolan, I mean if he could make the comical joker and less than screen worthy scarecrow into respectable villains, he can probably make this happen.

The problem is, I could handle any one of these choices in a single movie, but it will be hard as hell to get them all to work. Unless the riddler isnt a costumed generic super villain, but rather some smart guy who foils batmans plans (ala the early days of the 90s cartoon).

Robin and CATWOMAN? This scares me. Maybe have Nightwing or batwoman, but seriously, these two characters cant be anything but corny.

I would of liked to see Ras Al Ghoul and/or his daughter Talia reappear. After all, he is damn near immortal in the comics, and never seems to die. Hell, Talia ends up having Bruce Waynes son for goodness sakes.

Dear God, people, this movie doesn't even have a script yet. This shit is not true. They probably don't even have a villain picked out yet.

I know TDK was hugely popular and everybody wants to know about the third one, but that's just more reason not to believe anything you read online about a third movie. The more popular something is, the more bullshit surrounds it.

and needless to say when i saw it, i was pleased.

then the dark kinght hits me with "heath ledger is going to play the joker" and i was like, what the fuck!?!?

again the movie drops, and it becomes one of the greatest movie based on a comic book ever.

TiM: "Yes! Finally an opportunity for me to use my folder of Batman themed gay pornography! Huzzah!"

Anyways--honestly, even if this rumor were true, WHICH IT ISN'T, FOR PEOPLE LACKING ANY KIND OF COMMON SENSE AT ALL...

Fanboys tend to embarass themselves whenever there's online "uproar" (like anybody gives a shit) about a casting choice in a big genre film. Keaton as Batman, Daniel Craig as Bond, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Heath as Joker--all of these choices were met with either vocal hesitation or ouright hatred from the mouth breathers, and they all got bitch slapped. Hard. Actually, they weren't so much bitch slaps as they were the cinematic equivalent of them getting whacked in the face with a dick.

I know this is ironic, since I'm posting it on a forum, but it's time for "fans" to shut the fuck up and let the good filmmakers do whatever the hell they want. Call out Brett Ratner all you want, but when it comes to people with actual talent, sit your ass down and watch the movie. If you love or hate it, whatever, but don't try to make people with actual talent create conformist pieces of work just to appease a bunch of whiny cunts who call themselves "fans".

I'm skeptical. Chicks are good fakers. I'd say they like the reaction they get from the guy more than the actual cock in the mouth. But then again, you could be a lucky guy.
