Default Gotham

Next in the new series of The Batman movies is to be called Gotham but we all know nothing if finalised until the movie comes out, so we'll call it Gotham for now.

Shia LaBeouf is Robin
Eddie Murphy is the Riddler another

What about Cher as the Catwoman, i actually think this is kinda appropriate.

Just thought you might wanna know.

As you said speculation until it actually happens. Not to happy about it if there will be Robin in it though... I thought Robin kinda killed the movies. I really hope they don't put those people in... Really really hope not.

I really doubt it, especially the Eddie Murphy bit. I could see a far better actor playing the Riddler (Robin Williams, Patrick Stewart, Johnny Depp, etc) Murphy is a side slap comedy guy, where as Williams, Steward, Depp, and several others can play many roles, all with amazing grace and accuracy. I highly respect the 3 actors I listed above.

Shia LaBeouf as Robin?! Meh, he'd be alright as Jason Todd, I guess. But he ain't no Dick Grayson or Tim Drake.

Smart ass second Robin (Todd) got killed by the Joker, put that on your film.

Then I had a good look at the other bit of news:

http://www.moviehole.net/200817122-r...-casting-claim

Honestly I don’t know, but I think this whole debacle is way off it’s course. This news seems to be more like letting everyone being side tracked about what is really going on with the new movie. Knowing Nolan, he loves to play mind games with his core audience. It’s all just illusion people.

[03:28] ---Zahr Dalsk--- (zahrdalsk): Not sure which
[03:28] ---Zahr Dalsk--- (zahrdalsk): guardians or warp spider

Um, Eddie Murphy as the riddler? I just got this from your link on Cher:
"The Oscar-winner will join a cast that includes Johnny Depp as The Riddler"

Isn't The Sun a shitty unreliable tabloid? Why would you believe this article - especially putting Eddie Murphy as the Riddler.

A representative for Eddie Murphy's denied the actor will take on the role of The Riddler in a new Batman movie.

Earlier this week a British tabloid newspaper claimed the Beverly Hills Cop star would take on the villainous quizmaster character in the latest outing in the Caped Crusader franchise.

The part was made famous by Jim Carrey in 1995's Batman Forever.

And the publication also suggested actor Shia Labeouf would play young crimefighter Robin, alongside returning Batman Christian Bale.

But Murphy's representative has refuted the claims, telling Access Hollywood the reports are "not true".

The movie, tentatively titled Gotham, is slated for a 2010 release.

A casting rumor started by British tabloid The Sun, reporting that Eddie Murphy had been picked to play The Riddler in the next "Batman 3" has now been thoroughly debunked by the comedian's publicist.

Even though head honchos at Warner Bros. had recently let it be known that nothing about the project has yet begun, like a working script, it still hasn't stopped the Internet rumor mill from putting forth character and casting choices.

Many previously reputable news sources have begun picking up spurious spoilers of late, and some even knowingly proffering fakery themselves.

But finally, due to some actual investigative reporting at ABC has put to bed the Batman debate by asking Eddie Murphy's publicist for confirmation.

What's the final answer? "Not true."
The Sun - symptomatic of all that is wrong with Britain.

George Clooney sucked as Batman.

Yeah. Keyword: Played. Too bad Ledger is dead, otherwise I'd say he should reprise his role as The Joker. Now they'll have to find a third Joker.

As for the rumor: If Eddie Murphy WAS going to play The Riddler, then that would be bad. Good thing it's just a rumor.

But, yes. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Awesome! But I want Catwoman!

Yes, but only if he's killed in the first 2 seconds of the movie, somewhere off scene preferably. Maybe as a random newspaper article hinting that the Joker may still be out there. I honestly can't stand Shia and don't understand why anybody likes his fail acting.

Eddie has also been a joke as of late. Glad that is at least debunked.
