Riddle me this: How many other actors have been found with a transsexual hooker by police and managed to salvage their careers?

I remember when Heath got the part for the Joker and everyone freaked. Heath’s Joker was awesome creepy.

Don’t expect good things like that to happen again though, afraid the new franchise is going the way of the old franchise.

When I saw "Eddie," I was thinking "Eddie Izzard."

Eddie Murphy is funny, but I cringe at the thought of him in this role.

>"compare Murphy’s laugh to Gorshin’s classic Riddler."

Gorshin was insane, even his Ed Sullivan apperance with the Beatles was disturbing.

Eddy's Gumby laugh doesn't even compare!

Batman pretty much was a British takeover but it took a crappy franchise and breathed new life into it. After the crap with libtard Clooney, Val Kilmer sucked pretty bad and the first one was not much better.

The Christian Bale Batman’s have been excellent. Bale is Welsh, Oldman, Caine & the director are English and it has been outstanding.

Murphy is a AssClown and the the kiss of death. he mugs for the camera too much. They need a serious actor and not Samuel Jackson either. I am not sure who but Don Cheadle might have been better. Bale has a seriousness and menace as does ciane and oldman with the seriousness. Murphy will ruin it.

AICN is unreadable with their childish, potty mouth profanity laced writing. I’m no prude, but Harry and his low lifes need to grow up.

If this is true, then the franchise has returned to the campiness crap that doomed the first series. I would like to see someone dark play the Riddler, if there’s going to be a black person then make it Terrance Howard or Samuel L. Jackson.

I actually think Murphy may be a very good Riddler. This choice is not unlike Robin Williams going against type and playing the killer in Insomnia, which Chris Nolan also directed.
