British tab The
Sun took time off from documenting
Lily Allen's every move to announce that
Eddie Murphy has been chosen to play The Riddler in the highly-anticipated third installment of the
Batman series. Director
Christopher Nolan had originally wanted
Johnny Depp for the part but was then hit in the head with a bowling ball and got the idea to cast Murphy. The same story says boring Oscar-winner
Rachel Weisz will play Catwoman - not
Cher as had been deliciously rumored. And for Robin? Of course...
Shia LaBeouf. Won't be any vaguely homo-erotic energy between him and
Christian Bale. Why not just go totally lametastic and cast
Kevin Federline as the Penguin?
