Eddie Murphy – The Next Riddler?

A British tabloid writer isn’t backing down on his report about the follow-up to “The Dark Knight,” despite many denials from those said to be involved. UK’s “Guardian” reports that Gordon Smart of “The Sun” stands by his story that Eddie Murphy will play the Riddler in the next Batman film. Smart says his information came from a, quote, “reliable source,” who also tipped him off in 2005 that Daniel Craig would become the next James Bond. Murphy’s rep denied the reports last week.

A representative for EDDIE MURPHY denied the actor will take on the role of THE RIDDLER in a new BATMAN movie.
