Eddie Murphy As The Next Riddler ?

According to popeater.com, and inside source from the British newspaper The Sun, alleges that Eddie Murphy has signed up to play the role of the The Riddler in the upcoming Batman movie scheduled for release in 2010. Eddie Murphy as The Riddler is a far departure from Johny Depp, who was rumored to play the role initially. Imagining Murphy as the The Riddler is rather difficult, but what one cannot imagine is not a necessary indication that it cannot be done. Already there is disapproval. Based on the comments that were written about the article, some feel Murphy is a bad choice for the role, if indeed he has signed up to play the role. In the same article Rachel Weisz was rumored to be the next Catwoman, and Shia Lebeouf was rumored to be Robin. Rachel Weisz is not a bad choice, but adding Robin to this batman franchise is not a good choice. Christian Bale expressed his disapproval about introducing Robin in an interview with Charlie Rose during the time Batman Begins was in release or about to be released. Hopefully Eddie Murphy will not play The Riddler, preferably Johny Depp will. Check out the interview.
