Fact: Eddie Murphy, Shia LaBeouf in Next Batman
Tabloid magazine The Sun broke this huge story about Batman that, strangely, no one more respectable has heard about: FUNNYMAN Eddie Murphy will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal. The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director Christopher Nolan to reprise the role played by Jim Carrey in 1995’s Batman Forever.

Eddie Murphy Is Not Going To Be The Riddler In Batman 3
The UK's The Sun is reporting that Eddie Murphy will be playing the Riddler in the next Batman movie. Sure, UK's The Sun. Pink Is the New Blog points out that this startling casting decision isn't being reported anywhere else, but he felt it was worth reposting just in case it turned out to be true. Um, no, Pink Is the New Blog, it's worth reposting because it's hilarious. Eddie Murphy's Riddler isn't the only scoop The Sun scooped, they've got even more great casting news: Execs have also signed up rising

‘Batman 3’ Casting Rumors: Eddie Murphy As Riddler, Shia LaBeouf As Robin, Flying Pig As Mr. Freeze
So remember earlier this week when we reported that Rachel Weisz was being considered for the role of Catwoman in the follow-up to this year’s absurdly successful summer hit, “The Dark Knight,” and how we said that it was the crazy (but kinda good) “Batman 3” rumor of the week? Well, we clearly spoke way too soon… In a rumor that will most likely be debunked in 3…2…1…, this morning, the ever-reliable (/s) UK tabloid The Sun reports that Edd

Eddie Murphy To Borrow Bodysuit From Trannie Friend To Play The Riddler
What? Look, it wasn't his first time at the "lady with something extra" rodeo! Not judging, just stating! Details about the next installment of Christopher Nolan's hugely successful Batman series are coming to light and The Sun is reporting that Eddie Murphy has been signed to play the Riddler. Ugh. Has Nolan watched his last dozen movies? Damn. Ok, Bowfinger was ok. But...the cop movie set in outer space? The one where he's driving his own body from his head? This can't be true unless his age

LOL: The Sun Thinks They Know Batman 3
I was tagged in a Facebook note yesterday that pointed me in the direction of an article in UK’s The Sun, a rag that occasionally gets something right, but one that has grossly over-stepped their boundaries by claiming to know casting, even plot details from the anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight. And it is only ANTICIPATED at this point, which is why this makes no sense at all: FUNNYMAN Eddie Murphy will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal. The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47

Let’s Play “Cast The Fake Batman Movie”!
It has been reported by the bastion of all things true and totally not rumored The Sun that Eddie Murphy has been slated to play The Riddler in the upcoming Batman movie.

Chill Out America, Eddie Murphy is NOT the Riddler
I woke up this morning to the sound of a thousand men and women girl-screeching over the decision to cast Eddie Murphy in the role of the Riddler for the next Batman movie. The Sun reported that in addition to Murphy, Shia LaBeouf has been cast as Robin.

Eddie Murphy Is So Not the Riddler in Batman 3
Got some more Batman 3 dish for ya. Inside word is that Eddie Murphy most decidedly is not around for a new role in the next Gotham flick, as has been reported. That's all I'm hearing at this point, but actually kind of liked the creepy-as-hell notion of Eddie playing the Riddler. Apparently, the Batman powers that be thought otherwise, go figure. Beyond that, we're happy to report that—no surprise here—our Bat source says Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman's "definitely" back for the nex
