I think Murphy would'nt fit well in the typical riddler role, but I can see the riddler having a seriously twisted aspect to him in the new movie. The joker in the dark night is not exactly the goofy, corky joker we have seen in the past. Any form of Robin or Catwoman would be a disaster, although they pulled off 2 face a lot better than I would have expected.

It doesn't matter what they do, no matter what everyone's going to compare it to Dark Knight and it's going to fail in comparison.

But Robin/Catwoman will be epic fail.

Please say this is just some dumb news gag. Seeing Batman Begins and Dark Knight was so refreshing seeing a really good movie in such a watered out genre of movie companies re-hashing old superhero comics. Personally I found X-Men and Spiderman to be AWFUL, I hope there are other people who agree. I guess I should include the original Batman Forever in there too due to how horrible it was to watch. Arnold and George in same movie *facepalm*

Eddie Murphy could be good as the riddler . He isn't a bad actor, he just never plays real good roles.

i agree i still like murphy and with a good director this could be his chance..

Batman casting rumors have been going on since the movie came out. They've even gone as far as saying Nolan wants Cher to play Catwoman

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

i know this is all rumors and shit but jesus christ i was really excited to hear Johnny Depp would play the Riddler. If there's anyone who could make Heath Ledger's Joker look like a highschool play performance, it's Johnny fucking Depp.

There's absolutely no way Eddie Murphy will be the Riddler in the new batman movie, because the Riddler is white

Yeah, but he's too much of a badass to bother with color. I can't think of a white guy that could fit the role (granted, Daredevil was awful).

That was Batman and Robin. Forever had Val Kilmer in it.

people who are against Murphy being Riddler are just racists. There, I said it.

I just hate these 'so and so shouldn't play this role' threads because there's one about EVERY goddamn character about every goddamn comic book movie. As far as I know ordinary people are shitty when visualizing who is good for a certain role.

I mean when Carrey was tapped to play Riddler I bet everyone and their gay boyfriends were giving each other blowjobs at the perfection of the choice and look how that turned out. Personally I don't enjoy Bale as Batman at all as he's way too similar to the American Psycho role he played. Plus he doesn't look like Bruce Wayne tbh.

Anyway, having Murphy or any non-white actor for a traditionally white actor's role will add another layer to the movie. Not that they should be focusing on that specifically but I think they have a great chance at pulling it off.

murphie is too silly and the image would ruin my interpretation of this series. the whole robin business and all in that article makes me think its all a load of bull tho, nolan didn't want robin in it.


This. Nolan wants nothing to do with Robin. So I call bull on this.

I don't think anyone who says Murphy is bad pick for the Riddler is being a racist. He is just a shitty actor and would not give the persona that Riddler would have to have when it comes to Nolan's image. As for Bale not looking like Bruce Wayne, WTF, Bale has been the best yet for Batman. Let me guess, you want George Clooney back?

I don't think not wanting Eddie Murphy in that role has anything to do with his skin colour, it is just hard to accept him in a serious role after watching his standup, or watching any of his numerous comedy movies. We have come to accept the new Batman series as the premium of it's type and most people just don't want to see a good thing ruined by having a person in the role that doesn't suit it. Everyone also loves Johnny Depp because he's such an awesome actor, not because he's white.

What's Bruce Wayne suppose to look like?
