Anybody else here about the new Batman it is going to have the Riddler in it and is being played by Eddie Murphy.
This is what I heard!
AARON ECKHART has launched a new bid to convince director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to revive Batman comic book character TWO-FACE for the sequel to THE DARK KNIGHT.
The actor, who portrayed Harvey Dent and his alter ego Two-Face, saw his character appear to be killed off in the 2008 blockbuster, and assumed he would not be a part of any future movie installments.
But Eckhart is now appealing to Nolan to consider bringing Two-Face back from the dead - mimicking a popular technique used on dramatic TV soap
He says, "I think I've talked myself out of the job. I thought I'd died. But you know, America's grown up on soap operas and reinventing people so why doesn't Chris take that into consideration (when he's writing the script)?" The star admits he would jump at the chance to join the cast of Nolan's third Batman outing, but would understand if the director decided not to where The Dark Knight left off, out of respect to the late Heath Ledger, who played The Joker.
Eckhart adds, "If Chris asked me back, I would love to. Heath really was meant to come back as The Joker (for the next movie) as we all would want him to do so maybe this will be the way it is and be its own little thing." Ledger died from an accidental in January 2008.

This.Official word right now is that there is no word on what's going on. Christopher Nolan is very tight-lipped on his films, Batman or not, and it's too early to start gathering rumours. WB employees and people in the know have gone on record in saying that Nolan's not made a decision on anything yet, even if he's going to come back and make a 3rd. I'm sure he will, but the only wording that should be believed right now is what he said before he put Dark Knight into production. It's basically "I'd like to do another one, but we have to find the right script first".
I'm a huge Batman fan, so I will definitely be waiting to see what's to come of it, but so far all of the casting rumours are just internet speculation I'm afraid.
I want to see a Batman with the Penguin being portrayed as a short, fat guy.
