All my hopes for the new Batman have died

[Duke]

I'll admit I was wrong about Heath Ledger being the joker. I totally though it was bad casting (shows what I know).

But this latest announcement, about the next batman, leaves me just skeptical as all heck.

The new batman doesn't need a robin.

Eddie Murphy and Shia Labeouf have been lined up to star in the next Batman movie, according to reports.

The Beverly Hills Cop actor will star as The Riddler and Labeouf will play the caped crusader's sidekick Robin in the next instalment, tentatively titled Gotham.

Actress Rachel Weisz is reportedly in the frame to play Catwoman. Christian Bale will return as Bruce Wayne and Michael Caine will again play his assistant Alfred, according to British newspaper The Sun.

The movie, which is slated for a 2010 release, will be directed by Christopher Nolan, who made The Dark Knight such a huge success when it was released this year.

A source says, .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..

Agreed

I could have sworn that Bale said that he didn't want a Robin in any of his Batman movies. :thrawn:

Wtf Robin?

Jim Carrey will always be the joker for me though. He was just weird enough.

Forget the Robin bit, Chirstian Bale was an awesome Batman. And Eddie Murphy can't really fail to make any movie awesome.

I'm assuming you mean the Riddler, and not The Joker. Nicholson was the Burton era joker.

If Robin stays out of that stupid fucking red costume of his we'll be good. And if his name isn't Robin. Maybe Robby. Or Sir Robsalot.

If anyone can make Robin work it would be Nolan.

 

[Sarcasmo]

Hopefully he'll be some angry post-heroin-bender type dude in blue jeans and a flannel. That would be amazing.

But it's shia labeouf.

Last thing I want to hear is 20 million 'no No NO!'s throught the film. Seriously, did you see that retarded james dean act of his in the last Indi film?

Neither he nor murphy are angsty enough.

 

[Desslock]

We'll probably get bat nipples again.

 

[theacoustician]

Rachel Weisz as Catwoman sounds promising.

 

[Whizzleteets]

that seems like a lot of new characters to throw in the mix all at once.

and i'm sorry, but maggie darko wasn't nearly as hot as katie holmes as rachel. i'm glad they got rid of her near the end of the dark knight.

I am hoping this is an unfounded rumour. I really want them to go with Anarchy as his next villan. It would be a great contrast, similar ideas, but Anarchy crosses the line Bats won't
