FUNNYMAN EDDIE MURPHY will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal.

The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to reprise the role played by JIM CARREY in 1995?s Batman Forever.

The surprise move follows speculation linking Pirates of the Caribbean star JOHNNY DEPP to the part.

The film, set for a 2010 release, is being developed under the working title Gotham.

Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin.

CHRISTIAN BALE will return as Bruce Wayne, while MICHAEL CAINE will again play Bruce?s assistant Alfred.

Meanwhile, Brit RACHEL WEISZ is said to be up for the Catwoman role.

Insiders also revealed to The Sun the flick will end on a cliffhanger over whether Batman survives a blast at Wayne Towers.

Nolan had been tight-lipped about the future of the Batman films after being rocked by the January death of HEATH LEDGER ? tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

A film insider said: ?Chris wasn?t sure if he wanted to do another movie but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion.

?Eddie?s a fantastic addition. Everyone?s excited to see what he does as the Riddler.?

Sounds good for a change :1orglaugh

No, this sounds like a nightmare.

Bullshit rumor. I remember reading Nolan wasn't going to use Robin in his films.

Oh my god, pleassseee no.
How the fuck could that possibly happen? Did any of the execs even see Transformers?

:eek7:disgust

all I can say is...

oh no :(

It sounds like it might be funny.

read that to....but, you never know in hollywood..wouldn't surprise me.

hahah...awesome

I hate him. He is a DICK :mad:

It's not true

Hrm.. Could be good.

Can't imagine it but he could pull it off...

thats because you are fucking black.

what a disaster ill believe it when i see it.

Dr doolittle as the riddler. Purleeease.

I predict the next batman movie will suck balls :(

did batman in all those years only fight the same 5 villains?

Oh My God

I seriously hope this is bogus.

I read an article a while ago, the press was asking Nolan how they were gonna top the original Penguin and Ridler. They were talking about Johny Depp and someone else. But oh god NOT doolitle, please :(

His last movie made me want to puke.

RIP awesome Batman movies :disgust

They need to keep faggy Robin out of it too :disgust x2

better not be true, Johnny Depp would be 100000000x better as the Riddler.

Plz no fucking way that could be true.

my sentiments exactly! i love eddie but not for this. jim carey would be tough to top

johnny depp is the new riddler

if you believe anything that national enquirer sun says you are not intelligent

No there were other minor villians. But the movies have to cater to the masses, and the masses know the major evil bad guys that Batman faught. Not the obscure occasional ones used just to keep the comic from getting stale.

Why would they even be considering bringing in a Robin. That would kill the movie no matter who they got.:(

I guess it could be his chance to show he can actually act. If not he is going to be lost with the other talent that is in those films and just look horrid.

clit boner

First a black President, now a black Riddler? whats this world coming to???

Sounds good

A spin-off of Family Guy about a black guy.

Not that I'm complaining.

clit boner?
