Eddie Murphy as the Riddler, WTF?

The actual Sun artical:

Published: 18 Dec 2008
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 1995s 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 Bruces assistant Alfred.

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

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 — tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

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

Eddies a fantastic addition. Everyones excited to see what he does as the Riddler.

OMG LOL XD

You, my friend, are the stupid one. At least I know the whole 'Eddie Murphy is the Riddler' thing is a joke. Of course it is.

But you, you actually believe that Johnny Depp is confirmed to play the Riddler?

The only two things we know about this movie is that it is being made by the same people who did Begins and TDK and when it comes out. That's all for now.

In conclusion; I hope you're just fucking with me. Otherwise, it would be pretty stupid of you.

if they did this batman be down hill again

There is no way that Eddie Murphy will play the riddler. I don't understand why The Sun would post something that dumb. Have they even signed on for the next Batman movie? Chris Nolan is counting his money somewhere on a beach right now. Let's remember what Eddie Murphy's last movie was MEET DAVE. And Shia LeBouf as Robin. Didn't Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale say that they would never have Robin in the new Batman movies. Nobody will be able to play a villian like Heath Ledger did.

Nick Fury has been black ever since the beginning of the 1610 universe.

@quechus13 yeah I'm wrong because i see wikipedia and other webpages and The Dark Knight Rises have as villany probably Killer Croc or Harvey Bullock. This people and the other more in YouTube must delete this ridiculous videos.

@Amigo1580 sorry but you are wrong :)

[bufsoftley]

Black people can’t be the villains their real villains we go to the cinema to escape the world.

[AssKillshot]

[AntiGDYB]

@yoda55 depp deoent want play riddler out of respect yet he said it would be a fun gig

[guyf666]

ok look. We know nothing of Batman 3 except it's date and the same director will make the movie. there have been rumors of depp playing the riddler, but that is not set in stone, hell even the riddler being in the movie isnt set in stone. Also we know there will not be another joker or even a CGI version of heath ledger as the joker. We also know nolan has stated many times he will NEVER put robin in his movies. he hates robin. NICE TRY THOUGH.
