Actor chosen to play The Riddler for the next Batman movie! (Potential Spoiler Alert!)
#1
Eddie Murphy is to play The Riddler.

Wow. I hope this isn't a "Let's make him Black! How 'bout Chris Rock? I got it! Eddie Murphy You know, like when Will Smith made The Wild, Wild West a blockbuster hit!!!"

Really, I have my doubts about the choice. Frank Gorshin was not a favorite of mine. Neither was that show, actually.

now, if he plays it as the evil Eddie Murphy, you know, the one with the goatee, it might work.

Maybe they're going for that "classic" Batman 3 vibe.

They might go with nipple-rings on the costumes this time, just to update it.

I hope the Batmobile doesn't get a banana in the tailpipe.

I've always said that in the previous Batman series, Jim Carrey and Jack Nicholson were much better suited to each other's roles; That is, Jim as The Joker (a role that, if true to the comic books, would seem to have been written with Carrey's manic energy and off-beat sense of humor in mind, not to mention that Carrey even physically resembles The Joker with no makeup on at all) and Jack as The Riddler (a role that calls for a much more calculating, deliberate, and unquestionably evil portayal), but Carrey's career hadn't progressed far enough at the time for that casting to have taken place.

It seems that once again, the producers have taken the "low road" of manic energy and laughs over a truly chilling portrayal of what should be one of Batman's greatest and most challenging foes.

How bad is it gonna be if he does the trademark Eddie laugh!?!?! That would be disturbing. I'll try and keep an open mind as both of the last two films have been quite good. Let's just say they've earned my trust.

OK, sounds like this is just a rumor from out of left field. Not likely to happen.
