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?

please god, no! this couldn’t be true.and robin?wtf? christian bale said that if they had robin, he would not take part in that movie!

i’d say NO, but i hope he does a good job.
if hes a good enough actor to make me forget hes eddie murphy thats all i care about. i dont want to watch the movie and be like ” oh thats eddie murphy” i want to watch it and be like “oh thats the riddler” i want him to loose everything that makes him..him and completely become the riddler.

i think Aishwarya Rai should play Catwoman , with those eyes.. she’s born to play that role!

Ah mY GOd no robin pls…………………………….

A black president was also impossible?
LET’S GIVE IT A TRY, why not?

I don’t believe in “The Sun” …….

omg this is crap…the riddler is white not black and why the hell they are addin robin…

Obviously false because a lot of people (director, writers, actors) didn’t want Robin in the any of the movies.

I think this could be a very shrewd move.
Everyone went ‘what?’ when leadger was sigend as the Joker.
This could be the role that brings back Murphy and proves that Nolan is a ******* Genius!
I’m more pissed off about Shia, he’s very annoying and been in too much recently. To be honest, the whole Robin thing sounds lame.
But, with Nolan, it’s in safe hands.

this sounds like a joke…

Angie for caTwoman¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

ok since when has the riddler been black??? this just isn’t right why arn’t they casting the guy from Doctor Who for this role??? he would fit perfectly in with that role?? or just cast jim carry again

He’s sneaky enough to play him. I just hope he doesnt use his donkey voice in shrek

right now, i say no…. cause what did he do the last years?
but he might surprise or something…
cause i do think nolan knows what he’s doing
but right now i just hope its a rumor

WTF?! I love Eddi Murphy as a comedian… but as a Batman villian?! NO WAY!
The Riddler is not even a good character (is lame), besides bringing once again Robin is the worst idea EVER! Robin killed the previous Batman movies!!
Peace.

Oh, it’s gonna be a tough job to outtake the Dark Knight one for sure! Heath is gonna roll into his grave!

I hope that’s not really his costume. Ugh.

i thought johnny depp will play the riddler??!!

YEAH! He finally needs a hit! Maybe he’ll find that comic style that made us love him in the 80’s

Oh please, this is complete bull. Nolan said he wouldn’t go anywhere near Robin in his movies, and Bale himself said he’d walk if Robin was introduced.

This is NOT TRUE folks, relax.
Neither a plot nor script has even been writen yet.
Nolan will work on another movie before he tackles another Batman film.

The Sun is a garbage tabloid paper, and the actual article doesn’t even state ant sources. What’s more is that several reliable movie sites have debunked this artcle.

You people are so quick to believe every little thing you read, it’s ridiculous.

So just to make it clear : This Is Not True. Nolan and Co. are still on a break!

nay 100 times. this movie is going to suck big time !!!!! why would they choose eddie murphy??? is this a joke come on…..

Only Jim Carrey can pull that off.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! it’s a joke about shia laboeuf and eddie murphy! but i like rachel weiz idea!

this better be a (bad) joke!!!

Could they be any cuter?! I’ve been waiting for this forever. My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me. lol. We met online at Agelessmatch.com, a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other.
