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.


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?


Clooney and Kilmer were unfortunate enough to work under Joel Schumacher so it's impossible to say how good they could have been as Batman. But to answer your question, Keaton was my favorite as Batman, while Clooney is probably the closest to Bruce Wayne out of the 4 that have taken the role.

I think Bale is a great actor and have enjoyed many of his movies (Reign of Fire is one of my favorites) he still doesn't look or act like Bruce Wayne to me. Though, if you think about it, Wayne is the most boring persona of the Batman universe and any darkhaired suave actor probably could have played him. Still, Bale has benefitted greatly under Nolan's direction.

even if he played it really well, him being in other roles previously would ruin it for me. depp would probably do a great job as well, but there might be the same problem with him as with murphy. but who knows. they've done amazing casting so far, i'm sure that whoever gets the role will do a superb job. have a little faith guys

God....something about Eddie Murphy playing the Riddler seems wrong. Maybe it's cause of my built up image of him being all comedic and such...in the light hearted sense....nothing like the Riddler....

Man if he gets picked, he better give a damn surprising and unexpected performace (in the good way).

Eddie Murphy as The Riddler would be absolutely awesome.

I admit, he's been very family-friendly ever since... the 1980's. And I admit anybody in these these new Batman movies has to have a "twisted"/ "dark" element to his character, but that's precisely why Eddie Murphy will work. Him playing The Riddler would be like having Mr. Rogers play a pedophile or Drew Carey an aryan warrior. Wrong in just the right way. Cognitive dissonance FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is only ONE person in this whole entire world who can ever EVER pull off the riddler.

And that is David Tennant.

Research him, look at his profile pictures, his starring roles, his accent.

He IS The Riddler.

This is a joke, Cher, 62 being considered for the role of Catwoman? The whole article sounds absurd.

The next movie obviously has two-face as the villain, although I guess they can just store him for later use in Arkham if they really want to do the riddler.

Also, if you go for looks alone this is dead on:

Uh no, he didn't.
1. Batman does not kill people, which they are emphasizing in the new movies, hence he couldn't have killed two-face without betraying the character.
2. They foreshadowed two-faces fake death and cover up, when Gordon pretended to be dead in order to trap the Joker.
3. Gordon and Batman talk specifically about hope dying with the death, "of Harvey's REPUTATION!" carefully chosen words to fool people.
4. They foreshadowed people surviving falls from heights, batman and the girl, batman throwing the crimelord off a balcony, batman falling the exact same distance and getting back up...

I can't believe Nolan fooled so many people so effectively.

The whole point of blaming the death on Batman was so Harvey's reputation would not have been tarnished, since he turned into two-face and then committed suicide. The whole ending wouldn't make sense if he didn't die from his fall.

Plus Batman has body armor so Nuurrrrgh!!

Suicide... by being tackled over a balcony?
Batman was taking the blame for the murders Harvey committed. Taking Harvey to trial for those murders would have destroyed Gotham's hope, so they blamed them on batman, covered up what Harvey did, and faked his death.

I gave my reasons, I'm calling in it now, Two-Face is alive. Feel free to shower accolades on me when I am correct.

it would be supremely stupid if harvey dent survived. Didn't batman check his breath and then stood around talking to gordon for a few minutes? i don't think the great detective, or gordon, would be so incompetent as to commit a faux pas as silly as not recognizing if someone's dead or not.

ras al ghul might be alive what with the lazarus pit and all, but harvey dent is dead.

And why not bring back Jim Carrie? He'll be the best for the role. But Eddie Murphy, lol they should at least put someone who remotely looks like Jim Carrie.
