"Eddie Murphy as the Joker & Labeouf as Robin in Batman 3"

The Sun

The Sun were right last time but I really hope this rumour is nothing more. Murphy as the joker? That's gonna be worse than Jim Carrey, which of his recent movies have you enjoyed? Norbit? Meet Dave?Awful, awful movies.

As for Labeouf, he annoys me and I avoid all his movies.

Paul Bettany

Christopher Ecclestone wouldnt be a bad choice either.

the joker was awesome in the dark knight. They should do more with him!!!


Oh wait...

In all honesty I think Riddler is too close to the Joker in some of his traits.

Where'd all these posts come from? :S

Anyway some good news, Murphy denies Batman 3 casting.

Sounds like a bad idea,Poison Ivy would be a better choice.

David Tennant for Riddler.

Norton is a grim choice. He should stick to curb stomping.

Apparently the next will contain Cat Woman.

I want a new Spiderman. Preferably one without dancing.

I dunno, this could be one sequel too many. The dark knight and batman begins was brilliant. Not so sure if this will be any good. Especially when we bring robin into the mix.

I suppose the riddler as a villian will be ok, its not bordering on the superhuman level like say using croc or dr freeze. But still, heres to hoping its going to be good and not a clanger.

I had to post simply to marvel at your suggested actor ^

But seriously... Edward Norton was a good suggestion...?

This must be rubbish as Nolan has said that his films are based on the darker side of the young Batman and would not feature a Robin. So based on this I would take the role of Labeouf with a pinch of salt.

But I seriously doubt Eddie Murphy would be chosen to be the Riddler. He would be awful, he is awful and has done nothing decent since Beverly Hills Cop which in turn didn't actually have a decent caliber of acting skills did it.

For me The Riddler would have to be Johnny Depp, Leonardo Di Caprio, Edward Norton or Ian Smith (Harold From Neighbours)

Would have to be someone who was believably psychotic without being over the top. I'm convinced that if it was the Riddler being used it would be in a 'cop hunts killer who leaves deadly clues' style.

So ideally you'd be looking for someone fairly young who has been cast as a crafty killer in a previous film.
