Seriously, wtf? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/2008/12/18/2008-12-18_eddie_murphy_tapped_to_play_riddler_in_n.html
+ Show Spoiler +Comic book fanboys across the globe are all atwitter after fresh reports that Eddie Murphy will play the Riddler in the next "Batman" movie.
The Sun reported today that Christopher Nolan has tapped Murphy for the role in the follow-up film to "The Dark Knight," which is rumored to be titled "Gotham."
The unconfirmed rumor contradicts earlier whispers that Johnny Depp would reinvent the role in the new film, which is slated to hit theaters in 2010.
Jim Carrey played the part in 1995's "Batman Forever." The Sun also says that "Transformers" star Shia LeBeouf has been tapped to play Robin, and Rachel Weisz will portray Catwoman.
Rumors had circulated that that role would go to Cher, 62. Sources say the film will have a cliff-hanger ending, leaving audiences to wonder if Batman survives an explosion at Wayne Towers.
"Chris wasn't sure if he wanted to do another movie, but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion," an insider told the British tabloid. "Eddie's a fantastic addition. Everyone's excited to see what he does as the Riddler."
Anything to keep him from making "Norbit 2"!
There's no way he should be the Riddler. It will absolutely ruin the movie. Johnny Depp is a much better choice. He's just not a good enough actor, and I don't think he can match the atmosphere the movies have created thus far. It would be an awful pick for the Riddler. I really hope this rumor is false.
EDIT: Could a mod or someone please adjust the spelling of Eddie Murphy's name? I don't know why I added the "e."

honestly i wouldn't mind them bringing in lesser known but talented actors

they need the one brother quota

Neither would I, but I think I would love Johnny Depp in the role. It seems so suited to his nature. And he fits the look of the character too. (Small and skinny.)
|
Why Murphy? That guy is box office poison...
|
yeah depp would have been a really really good pick
|
I think if Murphy takes the role very seriously he will do just fine. I'm actually more worried about them fucking up the parts of Catwoman and Robin. I kind of like just the solo focus on Bale's character and thats it.
I just hope that the movie is half as good as Dark Knight is, although I fucking hate cliffhanger endings... they do nothing for movies.
|
holy shit i want this to be true just out of curiosity lol

|
Just leave catwoman and robin out of it
T_T
|
now i LOVE Depp........
but i think murphy will be really hit or miss. hopefully it's a hit

Yeah, there is no need for Robin at all. Catwoman is eh, to me. I think they're going the way of the X-Men/Spider-Man (Even though Spider-Man was not very good overall) and trying to do too much in a single movie.
|
im fine with murphy playing the riddler, my favorite batman villain, so this way they can save johnny depp for when the joker returns

I totally agree, they have enough going on without them. I get horrible flashbacks to Alicia Silverstone in batman movies when I think about peripheral characters.

Very understand where this comming from
and for Eddie Murphey
Hes too much into comedy to make up some screwed up actions like the Heath Ledger "Joker"
|
Eddie Murphy could be good as the riddler . He isn't a bad actor, he just never plays real good roles.
|
I would prefer to see Depp but hell Eddie might be able to pull it off also.
|
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.

From Jim Carrey to Eddie Murphy.

this sounds like a joke --;;

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.
|
WOW wtf eddie murphey should stick to stand up
|
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*

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

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).

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?

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?

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).
|
After two great Batman movies, I have faith in Nolan.
|
I highly doubt this report.
|
i don't think eddie would be as good a pic for riddler as depp. But why do you guys think eddie is shitty actor?
|
For the role of Riddler:
Jim Carey > Johnny Depp > Everybody Else > Eddie Murphy
|
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:

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.

I don't think that Harvey Dent actually died either. I understand why people think that he did and that certain parts of the movie seemed to point to that, but him dying really wouldn't make any sense. He hadn't even fully become Two-Face yet, he'd barely been a bad guy for any time at all. Killing off one of the main bad guys from the Batman universe before he had even really developed his evil side would be pretty drastic and in my opinion extremely dumb. I don't think that's what the people involved had intended for.
The way I saw it was that they reported that Harvey Dent was dead because if the people knew that he was alive and that their "hope" had turned evil, then that would have completely thrown away all of Gotham's hope and everything that Harvey Dent had worked so hard for. However, even if they truly believed that he was dead and they weren't faking his death, I still don't think that he's actually dead (and I think that he'll likely pop up at some point down the road if these movies continue) for the reason mentioned above. It just wouldn't make sense to kill him off so early, there's really no solid reasoning for that.
If by some chance I'm wrong and they actually did kill him off, then that really, really changes my impression of the direction that they're taking these movies in, and not in a good way.

you guys need to chill, i actually think eddie can pull this off with the right script and director guidance. or did you guys think about gay cowboys everytime you saw the joker?

Hmm, I thought I replied already..
You are correct sorry, it has been a while since I've seen the movie for some reason I thought he jumped, I could be thinking of another movie. But I still don't see how he could still be alive, sure he was a pretty large character in the batman universe, but I think they know they can't milk this current series of batman awesomeness forever, the great acting and directing just can't last, so they are bringing in quick cameos of all the characters but really only spending time with the favorites.
I just honestly can't see how he can still be alive. He has served his purpose, they used his character to make Batman out to be the bad guy leading into the next movie.
|
imo there's only one riddler, Jim Carrey
|
i just can see the Riddler doing weird sounds and talking to animals...
|
No matter who plays who in this next film, I just hope it doesn't completely ruin Begins and Dark Knight like how so many 3rd films spoiled their prequels. Murphy could play him but he's played so many recently bad films it's hard to imagine.
I want Steve Buscemi to play the Riddler :D
|
Wow I really really really hope eddie murphy is not the next riddler...... I mean all of his movies that hes come out with lately just blow cock I wouldn't want him having any part in the next batman. I think depp would be great or even, as much as i hate him, maybe dane cook

I don't think many caught/understood Atlantian's post which is a justifiable way of looking at this:
On December 21 2008 12:50 Atlantian wrote:im fine with murphy playing the riddler, my favorite batman villain, so this way they can save johnny depp for when the joker returns
I really hope they're saving Johnny Depp for Joker. Being stuck in the asylum for so long could easily explain him slimming down to such a degree.
Then, I too wouldn't mind Eddie Murphy playing as the Riddler. I just can't visualize Eddie Murphy expressions in doing serious or dark movies though. (Does his past records in comedic standups with dirty jokes help? Or anyone know of any possible expressions in his acted movies that may show possible examples of a Riddler he's gonna portray? No, not his glee expressions. Hmm... ) This will be interesting.
|
I cant believe people are more worried about murphy that the fact that they want to put ROBIN in the movie. Robin would ruin ANY batman movie.
BTW this shit is so fake.

Btw Aaron Eckhart already said that 2 faces was dead.

This sounds like a satire article. Or just plain old bullshit.

Just … what? Okay, the reality is, and these are all facts, Nolan has not agreed to make a third Batman. He probably will but there’s no deal yet. There is no script, there is no story, there are no villains picked out. If he does he will make an unrelated movie, probably "the Prisoner", between now and then, as he did with "the Prestige" between "Batman Begins" and "Dark Knight". Most importantly, he has said in no uncertain terms, as has Bale, they hate Robin, and he will NEVER be a part of these movies. The Sun needs to step up. I’d like to think they’re capable of better reporting than this. I'd also like to think that a monkey could be trained to make me a decent god dammed breakfast, but apparently that takes a monkey who's not a total fucking retard.

It's funny because only about a week ago I was chatting to my Dad about how good Eddie Murphy is as an actor after watching Dreamgirls. But he's really ruined his image recently with ridiculous films.
I think he will be great in batman.
The people saying he can't play serious roles haven't seen 48 hours.
Lots of his other films have just made him incredibly rich.
Norbit (which is an awful film) made £93 million dollars at the box office.
Here's a stat for you, he's the Highest Grossing film star IN HISTORY.
He also helped launch the careers of Halle Berry, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson.
Chill out people it'll be great.

Jim Carrey isn't that old, he should be the riddler again.
Also, we know what trash the Batman and Robin movie was, so I hope they leave him out, and if they do decide to put him in, make it a minor role.

I too think that Jim Carrey would be fine for The Riddler role again. He can play darker characters really well, which was sort of shown in 23. Johnny Depp would be a good choice too. I just really can't see Eddie Murphy playing this role. He's too comedic. And you know I really don't mean to sound racist at all, but he's black. I just don't think it matches the character itself.
I have faith that Robin and Catwoman wouldn't be cheesy. However I do think it's too much for both of them to be involved in the movie at the same time.
With the way these movies have been, I don't feel that Robin would be a "side-kick" they'd probably make him an independent hero.

Eddie Murphy is not going to be the Riddler, Rachel Weisz is not going to be Catwoman, and the next movie isn't going to be called Gotham. I have it on good authority that no steps have been taken with the next movie, confirmed just a couple of days ago. Which is good, because I didn't want Eddie Murphy ruining the role of the Riddler. He needs to be a much more conniving, calculating character like in the animated series.

What I'd like for these movies to happen is a more inter-wovenness. Villains/storylines should be more interacting. Up til now most movie just have some villain 'pop up' (or possibly two - Venom AND Sandman. What are the oooooooodds) and the movie ends with them leaving the picture again. What I liked about the Dark Knight is that the Joker didn't die and we may see a return of him in a couple of years. Should be interesting. (Too little Two-face though =( )

There is so much talk about Murphy that I'm surprised this gem went unnoticed. Seriously, what the fuck? If this happens, not only will I not see the film, I will find Christopher Nolan everybody else responsible for this travesty and strangle them
