This can't possibly be true.....

Ahahahaha

[thedeadwalk!]

First I laughed. Then I saw Shia set to be Robin and I got pissed. Then I saw there was a cliffhanger as to whether Batman survives an explosion and I'm flabbergasted. I'm not big in to Batman but this is just retarded.

[DeckerDontPlay]

I wish they would leave Robin out. I don't think Rachel Weisz is that bad of casting for Catwoman

[Gnarmageddon]

Isn't The Sun a tabloid magazine?

I think this (Weisz) is one of those instances where someone is "over-qualified." Maybe I'm just tainted by the thought of Alicia Silverstone.

And I just hate Shia.

[ThisGuy]

Rule of Thumb: If it comes from the Sun, it's false.

[IgniteYourAvail]

What. The. ****.

The Sun is a fake tabloid publication, this isn't real.

Unless that was the joke. Then it went over my head.

[thedeadwalk!]

Well, then...I'm relieved.

[JohnXDoe]

i like eddie murphy. he's an oscar nominee, you know :) he could do it.

"riddle me this riddle me that" etc...

[Gnarmageddon]

but he's not white

imo

[DeckerDontPlay]

^^Yeah well Robert Neville in the I Am Legend book was white but some how Will Smith got the role in the terrible movie.

Relief then.

I know nothing about The Sun and had just heard this from elsewhere so I looked it up.

[JohnXDoe]

well the sun is a tabloid but that doesn't mean this is a fake story. they run entertainment things, gossip, etc...some is true i would assume

plus i don't see why they would fake this story. i mean its not SHOCKING news or anything. certainly not a "paper seller" either

[BenJammin]

And all 3 of those articles got their information from The Sun article.

[awia]

so what? jim carrey went from dumb and dumber to eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...

will smith went from fresh prince of bel air to the pursuit of happiness?

i dont see the big problem here...

shia lebuff went from even stevens to a passable action movie star


eddie murphy usually play several diferent (okay not that different) personalities in a movie, the comedy is there in the role and he got it, he just gotta bring out his darker side and he got it

[Tillius]

My problem with it wasn't so much Shia as Robin but Eddie as Riddler.

I've never really had a problem with Shia. He does the parts that he gets well.

[willfellmarsy]

why would anyone believe this...like seriously? Why would Nolan give away the ending? Why would he not only change his mind about Robin but cast the most obvious/horrible choice...dnt be silly gentlemans

[Gnarmageddon]

^^Yeah well Robert Neville in the I Am Legend book was white but some how Will Smith got the role in the terrible movie.

Something tells me Nolan will take the next Batman more seriously than I Am Legend, based on its success. Maybe if it was a comedy or something, Eddie Murphy would suffice. But I really don't see how he could pass as a good Riddler without seeming like a joke.

Not that the article is true or anything. Just saying, while we're on the subject.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Ugh.


Why does Pepe LePew have to be in this movie? Having Eddie as a Riddler can go either way, but having Pepe play Robin is just a clusterfrack of epic proportions.

[t-rex]

to be fair

everyone thought heath ledger as the joker wasn't going to work out

i think eddie might be able to pull off the riddler with nolan's help\

but shia lebouf

god help us

i can not stand him. he kills every movie he's in. the only thing he's ever been able to not suck at was even stevens. and maybe holes.

[Shady Ultima]

Well, Nolan hates Robin, and I don't think he'll go back on that.

Also note - NOLAN HAS NOT YET SIGNED ON FOR BATMAN 3 IF THERE IS ONE

[Detective Dan]

i highly doubt that the next Batman movie is much farther in production than the "tossing around ideas" stage

[iarescientists]

Well, Nolan hates Robin, and I don't think he'll go back on that.

Also note - NOLAN HAS NOT YET SIGNED ON FOR BATMAN 3 IF THERE IS ONE

well i'm sure the studio is gonna go ahead and produce a third installment, Nolan or not

although i won't be likely to see it if Nolan (or some equally skilled/proven director) isn't connected

[Mr. Ron]

this is fake

I heard that Johnny Depp is going to be the new riddler

[beans]

what the hell is this?
blasphemy

[Hedgedive]

I don't know why everyone is cumming their pants to see the Riddler as the next villain tbh

[Reaganista]

http://http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f353/mydeerbambi/BatBoyFBI.jpg
this cant possibly be true

[Hedgedive]

it's not.


Nolan hasn't even signed on yet, too early for casting, The Sun is a gay tabloid, etc.

[Iscariot]

the sun is a tabloid so i don't get the fuss this story is obviously bs

i'd rather see depp as the riddler anyway

and shia might be good as robin if robin is included in the next film he's turning into a decent actor

[HighandDriving]

**** is def not true, Nolan's smarter then that.

[Chriblan]

What. The. ****.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2048300.ece

lol, Photoshop! Gotta love it!

Lol, if this were true, I'd disown Batman...

I would really dislike Nolan if he brought Robin into the mix... Robin sucks. lol

well she didnt play catwoman, she played batwoman....

[thedeadwalk!]

You see, that's how tainted I am because of her!









I'll just add that to the stupid mistakes pile.

[planewreck]

Haha, the page even looks fake. Why did we believe this again?
