Riddler Rumor REAL? Stubborn Sun Reporter Stands By Story!

Yesterday fans went nuts over the latest in silly rumors about Batman 3. In a nutshell, a British paper said Eddie Murphy would be the Riddler, and Shia LaBeouf is playing Robin. Well, even though everybody around the globe laughed it off as another in a long line of Bull@#%*!, the reporter is sticking to his story. Find out why he's so sure inside...

But why pontificate on just how unlikely it is that Murphy will ever don The Riddler's question-mark-emblazoned emerald spandex, when you can go straight to the source? The Sun's Gordon Smart told me this morning that he was standing by his story on the basis that it had come from a reliable contact – one responsible in 2005 for revealing to the world the then-unlikely casting of Daniel Craig as 007.

"Everyone had a crack at us when we published that one," said Smart. "I was almost laughed out of conference that day, but it turned out to be spot on. I wish I had had a bet on it."

Off the record, Smart revealed his precise source, and if we are to believe him, it would appear a pretty reliable one. It follows, then, that the rest of yesterday's story might also be falsehood-free.

So, on that basis, prepare yourself for a Dark Knight sequel in 2010 (despite the fact that Nolan hasn't even officially signed on yet for a third film) titled Gotham, featuring Murphy, LaBeouf and Bale, with Rachel Weisz as Catwoman. Gird your loins, also, for a cliffhanger denouement in which Wayne Towers is hit by a blast which may or may not have offed the Batman.
