Stand Back! There's a Hurricane Coming Through

I read this the other day but chalked it up to another crap rumor so I didn't post it. They way the first 2 movies have been cast and the crap in which Murphy's casting in the role would be, makes me think there is no chance for this. If they actually were thinking about it, they will rethink it now with all the backlash. |

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!
|
I find this rumor as bullshit since it mentions Shia LaBeouf as Robin when Nolan doesn't want a Robin in the upcoming Batman films... but then again, they could use another director to make the film with Murphy and Shia.

On a side note, I hate Shia LaBeouf. I'm getting so sick of him. |

^Yeah the guys a prick^ Last I heard about who was going to be the villains was that they wanted to to have both Penguin and Riddler. Penguin - Philip Seymour Hoffman which I think would be a great choice Riddler - Johnny Depp, which when asked said he wouldn't mind. |

I edited the topic title to make it more accurate. I completely missed the part where it said that LaBeouf was going to play the part of Robin. Real strange stuff, to say the least. |

I don't debate. I'm always right.

I call complete bullshit on this rumor. Anyway..I'd rather see Murphy as The Riddler than what's his face (Bale) as The Batman. |

Man...I seriously can't stand Bale. I simply can't get over it. And I've tried. I've watched The Dark Knight a few times now, and he ruins it for me every time. Other things in the movie pissed me off. But Bale completely ruined it. Just my opinion. |

I'd prefer Damian Wayne to Robin. But that would screw too many people up. |

I'll take this rumor with a grain of salt for the moment. I'm pretty sure I even heard a rumor of Justin Timberlake being considered for The Joker role at one time. Which left me very much relieved when Ledger was officially cast, despite not being much of a fan of his at the time. |

If The Sun's reporting this, then it's got to be legitimate. I was honestly hoping that they'd put a hold on Robin for as long as they could. I'm not too happy with Murphy playing The Riddler, either. Depp could do such a better job. Edited by Kame, Dec 21 2008, 01:57 AM.

Then I gotta say fuck the Sun and their sources. Until Nolan comes out and publicly say Eddie "Raw" Murphy is the Riddler, then the role has yet to be cast. |

You know, if there's a fourth movie, they're going to recast the Joker? But let's all cry about Eddie Murphy. He is ACTUALLY a good actor who makes TERRIBLE choices but until this is confirmed... I think I got an idea of the plot for three, a cross between RIP Batman and the Edward Nigma story starting at the Fountain of Youth 'cause who Riddler meets there could easily cross over to the story of Batman being anihilated. |

I would hope Johnny Depp would get the part, myself. Don't get me wrong, I like some Eddie Murphie movies. But he's better in comedies like Shrek or Nutty Professor. Don't think he'd fit in with a Batman movie. |

I've thought about it and I'd actually like to see what Murphy could do with the role with it being more serious than his usual work, however I don't think it would be worth risking it on such a high profile movie. It brings to mind some of Jim Carrey's later work, for example where he played Walter Sparrow in The Number 23.. a comic actor, turning serious.. and he managed to do an excellent job of it in my opinion. I know a lot of people hated the film.. but screw them, it was good. |

Maybe, but it was hardly Jim Carrey 's first "serious" role. What's Eddie Murphy's mos serious role been? Beverly Hills Cop? The Golden Child?

Just because it might be one of his first major serious roles, it doesn't mean he has any worse a chance of pulling it off than Carrey did. Trial and error is the only way to find out.

I think once you get typecast you're a gonna until someone gives you the chance to do something. I just can't think why Murphy keeps making these god awful movies when at one time he was the funniest MF'er alive. I mean, yeah...he makes a good movie every now and then, his last one was Dreamgirls, he was excellent but what happened? He made Dave. Edited by Vampiro Americano, Dec 22 2008, 11:32 AM.

The misconception with the character is that the Riddler is not funny. Like the Joker in the latest films, the Riddler is a genius that is cold and calculating. Jim Carrey and the old Adam West series is NOT how the character will be portrayed in a new film. So, casting a guy like Eddie Murphy would be a terrible move. |

Like The Riddler seen in Batman: The Animated Series. He was completely serious. |

When mentioning Jim Carrey I wasn't referring to his portrayal of The Riddler in Batman Forever, as I know that was meant to be a comedic part.. I actually think Eddie Murphy could make a decent go of making The Riddler a serious character. He is a good actor, despite some of the poor choices in roles and movies he has obviously made.. every actor has his bad moments. Just the fact that he plays mostly comedic characters only means that he's typecast, it doesn't mean that he can't handle a serious role. It means the audience can't handle him in a serious role.. which is why I don't know if The Riddler would be the best place for him to try it out. I still reckon he could handle the part well though.

I'll just say maybe to the idea that he could do it seriously. But, I still think there are a lot better people to cast in the role. Found this:

I have to agree, the Sun is awful. Their entertainment reporter is a small-time hack. I'm just going to argue that Eddie Murphy wouldn't be the worst choice. The Riddler was also tortured inside, I hate what Batman Forever and Batman and Robin did to the franchise. I think Joel Shumacher should be tried and jailed for rape. Anyway, I think the speculation is fun and wish people weren't so serious... |

I thought Carrey was okay as Riddler, but nothing spectacular or better than Nicholson and DeVito. Off-topic: How good or bad is the Dreamgirls movie? |
