Riddler Rumor REAL? Stubborn Sun Reporter Stands By Story!

but if nolan hasnt signed the how the hell can they have cast anyone yet?? its bullshit i guarantee you

Well if he swears he's telling the truth then it's obviously true.

Nolan specifically said he'd never have robin in his batman movies, therefore, bullshit.
And you know they're gonna want Nolan, seeing the money dark knight made

Well, in my opinion, Nolan needs more [racial slur]. Murphy would make a spectacular Riddler. I don't know what you players be complainin' about. Aside from that, let's stick more black in. Halle Berry was the best Catwoman I have ever seen. She needs to make a return. Also, if Michael Caine decided to die or not return as Alfred, we can have Michael Clarke Duncan take his place. I think he would do a swell job after seeing his performance in Sin City as Manute and the best rendition of Kingpin in the smash-hit Daredevil. If Tupac Shakur is in fact alive, I think that he would be Bale's perfect replacement. If Tupac isn't available (i.e. he is actually laying down in a grave with .45 bullets in him), then we could always use Nelly. He's the biggest pimp ever seen. And who lamer to pick for Robin than Justin Timberlake? Nelly and Justin would be the most ambiguously gay duo ever seen. In fact during scenes where they weren't in cape form, they could have a dance off. It would be neat to see the implementation of a ghetto stomp the yard in Gotham. Gotham needs a little more ghetto.

I can actually see Eddie as Riddler. I've seen plenty of comics pull off dark sinister roles before. The main part of this story that screams "bullshit" to me is Robin! Bale has openlysaid he will walk away if Robin joins the story, and rightly so! It doesn't matter how well cast Robin may be I just can't see him fitting into the Batman story Nolan has given us.

Altho Carrot Top would be a giggle!

John Malkovich for Riddler! Ellen Page for Robin! Tina Fey for Catwoman!

I tell ya, it's Nolan, he could make it work!

Bale refused to do another Batman if the Robin character was going to be in it. So I dont believe this one bit. Also, Nolan said this was going to be his last Batman....HANDS DOWN. Because he didnt want the series to turn out like the old films. AND THANK GOD FOR THAT.

I dont think Nolan will go out with Eddie Murphy, the creative genius behind Norbit haha, playing the Riddler. This story is B.S.

Can you just imagine William Shatner as the Riddler.... Uh... Batman... riddle me this.... riddle me......... that! who's afraid.... of the big black.......bat.

Honestly.. I believe Eddie Murphy could pull off the Riddler but it would be more intelligent, darker character than Jim Carrey's. The kind that they had on the last animated The Batman was good.

Yet still.. Bill Shatner gets my vote! lol

i don't think anyone can take those claims seriously, but the fact that nolan hasn't signed to direct isn't the deal maker. regaurdless of his attachment i think something will still be made. the first two made too much money. it's just a matter of if he comes back or someone else does it. let's cross our fingers for the former

In response to Hyson... a SO YOU THINK YOU DANCE - BATMAN VERSION

Acerimmer1:
I disagree. Most people love to downplay the potential of the Riddler, as well as Robin. Granted, I'll agree that by-and-large, they have not been given the proper treatment over the course of the last few decades, and their potential as story vehicles severley underused!
I think the idea of using these characters has a LOT of appeal, IF done correctly!
I highly disagree with the notion that the Riddler is "the poor man's Joker", because, well... What's the joker but an anarchist in a clown suit? Sure, clowns are scary, but what the hell?
NOOOOWWWW... If given the proper treatement, you can take that "scary clown" achetype and do some really interesting things. It's all a matter of intuitive/creative storytelling, and keeping an open mind.
(*Unlike Hyson, who obviously needs a lesson in using one's "open mind.")

THANK YOU Adamant for the comment about Hyson. Spot on.

I'm going to scoop everyone and tell you who will really be in Batman 3

Peter Dinklage as Oswald Cobblepot.

What are you all talking about ... the Sun is a very creditable news source...

Sorry ... my sarcasm is showing

Nice Bat'leth tekjock.

i dont really care if hes black, i just dont want eddie murphy! i normally dont go for the changing characters race thing, but with minor characters..especially ones im not bothered about , i dont mind so much.

Eddie Murphy sucks...period. It doesn't matter if he's black, and it doesn't warrant racial stereo type comments from red necks who fear the future. Eddie Murphy should not be Riddler because he's done, and terrible, and not because he's black. I gurantee you if they some how squeezed Denzel, Cuba, Larenz Tate, or Terrance Howard into a Batman movie it would not dissapoint...although I do not know what character they would be. Lucious Fox is in TDK, didn't that just make that movie so terrible, oh no, the blacks are taking over. that's just ignorant, open ur minds people, it's 2008, one nation, and eventually one race, sorry red necks....

i dont think they will put the riddler in the next film for the same reason gambit wasn't in X-men (so im told) which is because his character is too much like another already in the film. Gambit's character was too much like wolverine, and the riddler, if played the way people here are suggesting, would be too much like the joker. I understand why people, including myself, would want another joker, but it would be a poor substitute.

also would like to throw out, like in the Miller comics, that robin, if included, be a girl....

just a thought.... still dont think robin would be a good idea though!!!

all gonna be about two-face in the next film

You know, a few months before the first teaser trailer for the Dark Knight came out, I read a blurb in a magazine that said Heath Ledger was gonna play the Joker...When I saw that, I thought "Ah, S**t! This movie's gonna suck!"
Then I saw the trailer with Heath as the Joker and I thought "Damn, this looks pretty cool"
Then I saw the movie and I was like "Oh my God! Nolan is a GENIUS and Heath is THE JOKER"

...But freakin Eddie Murphy! I mean come on...that HAS to be bulls**t!
