    Call me crazy, but I don’t think The Sun reporting something makes it true.

    Oh great! this smells of Batman & Robin in the 90′s, what next? Schwarzenegger?? I was hoping that Robin Wouldnt appear in this series and Eddie Murphy as the Riddler? Depp would have been much better casting, I cant imagine Murphy in this role but we’ll see

    ok, this movie will not be better than dark knight, getting rid of joker because heath leadgers suddon passing will destroy the series.

    Why don’t they just take Jim Carrey back as the riddler? He had the role before, and due to his experience he gained in many years, he probably would do it even better then before, I mean, he is still very active…
