Batshit Crazy Batman Rumor of the Day: Eddie Murphy as the Riddler
That reputable news source The UK Sun reports that Eddie Murphy will be the Riddler in the third Nolan Batman film. The paper actually sounds serious when it says, “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.”
Are they crazy? Must be because they also sneak in a little tidbit about Shia LaBeouf, the most hated actor in the land of fanboys, getting the role of Robin. Batman himself, Christian Bale, has previously stated that he will refuse to work if they add the Robin character.
The article does have one interesting blurb about Rachel Weisz wanting to play Catwoman. That’s about the only idea in the article that I could get behind.
Ok, I have to admit – I would be there to see Rachel Weisz as catwoman in a heartbeat.
