Eddie Murphy is The Riddler
Eddie Murphy will play Gotham villian The Riddler in the next Batman movie, reports The Sun.
The 47-year-old former Beverly Hills Cop was tapped by British director Christopher Nolan to reprise the role played by Jim Carrey in 1995’s Batman Forever.
The studio has also reportedly signed up Transformers star Shia LaBeouf, 22, to play Robin. Rachel Weisz is rumored to be taking up the Catwoman role.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Eddie Murphy as the Riddler — YAY or NAY?

wtf? those are terrible choices..
EEEEWWWW
eewwww
eeeewww
itmust be fake
no way, the sun fabricates stories all the time, expect a denial any moment from the studio
This is obviously fake. C’mon people. A director hasn’t even been officially announced, let alone a cast.
Haha, yeah, sure. We all know that the Sun isn’t a reliable source… plus, Nolan already explained that HE would never do a Batman movie with Robin: the Batman/Bruce Wayne that Bale is portraying is way too young to have Robin as a side-kick. And please, Eddy Murphy? As the Riddler? God help us.
Nolan proved that his vision of Batman is a serious, dark and complex one, can Eddy Murphy even DREAM about getting close to it? And i heard somewhere that Nolan is trying to have a new villain in the upcoming movie, a villain we only saw in the Comic books but who has never been portrayed in a movie… i don’t if it’s true, but that would mean ciao to Catwoman and the Riddler… and last thing, apparently Nolan is so sure about doing a third flick and wants to focus on other projects until a proper script will be held on the spotlight… ARGH!
at least with heath youd know he was a well respected actor.
eddies just… wel eddie…
My bad i meant “no sure”
OMG WTF!?! this BETTER be a joke. They are gonna kill the whole Batman franchise again! This is sad :[
I’m seriously gonna pray that someone came up with this is!
But wait…. THE SUN reported this?? I’m pretty sure this all has to be frabricated!
God, I hope so!
LOL! That is freaking hilarious! It’s Edward Nigma….Not Edward Nigga!
I’m The Da Riddler Dammit! Riddled Me Dis *******!
**** NO. Why does this jackass even have a career?
Is this a big fat lie. I thought Christian Bale absolutely hated the idea of Robin. and plus Eddie murphy is a bit too parody for a Nolan movie isn’t he?
I think this is complete bull. Remember when Nolan apparently wanted Cher to play Catwoman? And although I LOVE the idea of Johnny as Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin, both actors have said they were not even offered those parts. And as one poster already said Nolan hasn’t even signed on to make the film yet.
I call bullshit on this one
nooo .. I doubt this is true .. there should be no Robin in the movies, wasn’t it bad enough when Chris O’Donnell did it ?? Awful pick for the Riddler.
This is beyond shocking and a bad decision.

uhh no? they could probably find someone better to play the riddler, like seriously, murphy? no way
this has to be a joke.
i mean they cant just go from having an amazing actor like heath to having the shittiest actor ever, eddie murphy.
i mean come on. and bring robin? wtf.
i love shia but him, rachel and eddie would ruin this franchise.
the only ones that could do anything better than what heath did and make another movie better would be johnny depp, philip seymour hoffman and angelina jolie.
…urm wth? lol JOHNNY DEPP FOR RIDDLER!!!…i’m down with shia as joker and rachel weisz as catwoman though :D
eww not eddie murphy!
shia labeouf would b good as robin. or milo ventimila.
cnt wait for the next batman movie!!!
i <3 christian bale!
NAY!
UGH!
please say it is just a JOKE!
eddie “tranny-loving-burro” murphy is a joke!
LEO DiCAPRIO is my RIDDLER!!!!
I don’t know. To be honest, was anyone expecting Heath to do what he did as the Joker? Eddie could surprise us all… I hope.
i would like rachel to be catwoman…
but christopher said no robin. and i dont want robin either! and yeah, johnny would make a better riddler.
anything with eddie murphy is a big nay
i love rachel weisz so i wouldn’t mind if she was catwoman.. altho no one could ever beat michelle pfeiffer
ITS ALREADY BEEN CONFIRMED THAT JOHNNY DEPP IS THE RIDDLER!!!!!!!!!
ewwwwwwwwwwww. he will ruin the movie. i cant stand him
