This just seems wrong

tommoEddie Murphy is apparently set to play The Riddler in the next Batman movie.
It just sounds like such a monumental fuck up. Then again, Christopher Nolan seems like a clever guy - perhaps there's something in it I'm not seeing. I didn't like the idea of Ledger as The Joker and that turned out well.
Also, quotes from Nolan to the effect of "Robin would be in a crib somewhere during 'Batman Begins' and 'Dark Knight'" are contradicted somewhat by the fact that Shia LeBeouf is set to play Robin. I'm not sure about that choice, either.
Hmmm... it's a #3 Batman movie which is the first in its series to star Robin and The Riddler. Where have I seen this go horribly wrong before?
If I wish for it really hard I wonder if Nolan will make a no-gimmicks Penguin the new Gotham mob boss?

I don't think it's real.
