"I heard that rumor as well. I don't know anything," said Murphy. "Whoever is really playing the Riddler is sitting home calling his agent, going: 'We gotta have this rumor stopped.'"
He added: "I would love to be in one of these Batman movies. Jim Carrey did the Riddler once and he did a wonderful job. They did the Riddler and they did the Penguin and they've done Mr. Freeze and they did the Joker. I could be Egghead."
Murphy then did an impression of Vincent Price, who played the character in the 1960s "Batman" TV series. "EGGcelent, EGGsquisite," he said. "They'll never crack this HARD BOILED case."
