Here’s yet another Batman 3 casting rumor for you to chew on, along with the Rachel Weisz as Catwoman gossip from yesterday. The Sun claims that Eddie Murphy has been signed to play the Riddler and Shia LaBeouf is set to play Robin. This is entirely untrue.
We spoke to a proven industry source of ours earlier tonight who confirmed to us not only that the rumor is a fake, but where and how The Sun got their information. Unfortunately, in order to protect our source's anonymity we can’t tell you. Ain’t that fun? But we're certain, there’s no truth to this at all.
Besides, you don’t need us to tell you that British newspapers have pretty much the worst track record ever when it comes to breaking movie news. They’re nearly always wrong. Well they’re wrong again.
That same proven source however says that Rachel Weisz is a real possibility to play Catwoman. That’s not wrong. Also correct are the rumors that Nolan is actually ready to start making it. Our insider insists that the movie is further along than we’ve all been lead to believe. Nolan is back, Bale is back, and so is Michael Caine. The rest is still up in the air.

Josh-
I swear I love this site more and more every week. Keep it up.
I was disappointed though to hear that UK papers have a bad track record in entertainment news. I didn't know this. I rarely look at UK papers but always feel just a tad more sophisticated when I do. By some odd coincidence I had seen this story in the Sun and was horrified at the thought of Murphy as the Riddler. Needless to say I'm relieved.
But now I'm curious: What else have UK papers botched?
Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) gets out of jail and his son Alberto Falcone aka the "Holiday Killer" (Johnny Depp) fight the Riddler for Gotham supremacy. Is two-face dead??
