Before Eddie Murphy took on the role of Edward Nigma in "Gotham".... Does everyone remember the Johnny Depp, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman casting rumors? They both debunked it as fake, but frankly it is not even known what characters will be in the third insallation of the recent Batman films, and it's not even known if a third Nolan film will even happen at all. I hate to be doing this, but I'm going to go ahead and feed the constant "Gotham"... rumors.
I always thought Hoffman would of made a pretty good Penguin, but he stars in mainly artsy pictures nowadays... I couldn't really see him starring in a Comic Book Movie. Earlier today, a fan/rumor starter sent an email to the Editor over at Cinema Blend. His email stated that WB was following through with the The Dark Knight 2 and Hoffman was being prepped for the role of Cobblepot! Not only did he claim it was true, but he also sent in a photo of a proposed Make-Up test snap shot. This is supposed to be Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the make-up and outfit. Much like Cinema Blend, I firmly beleive this picture to be a Photo Shopped fake...
I've posted the picture below, and in the comments section I want to hear your opinions on two things: 1)Is it fake? Obviously, and did the faker do a good job? 2) Wouldn't Hoffman make a damn good penguin? -saintc
