British tabloid The Sun is reporting that Eddie Murphy has been signed on to play the Riddler in Christopher Nolan's next Batman picture (working title: Gotham). This is surprising because it is widely believed that Murphy now refuses to work without a fat suit. I'm sure the FX team can troubleshoot around this...perhaps Murphy can be filmed in a fat suit that is then removed by CGI in post. In any case we can at least be confident that Murphy has the chops to embody the green-clad icon, given his definitive portrayal of Gumby.
In another surprise Spielberg's own cabana boy, Shia LaBeouf, is revealed to be signed on as Robin. This despite Nolan's previous assertions that he would not introduce the Boy Wonder in the Year One stage of the Dark Knight's career. Nevertheless the details that have just been leaked of his apparently new vision give us fanboys hope that — dream come true! — Keanu may also be coming aboard as Mr. Freeze.
Addendum: Nolan must be immediately terminated, with extreme prejudice.

Can't take the Sun seriously man, I have more faith in Christopher Nolan than those pissed (drunk) editors at the Sun.
