Batman 3 casting Rumors


Despite the ass-kicking he's getting via optic cable, the British reporter who ran with those ridiculous "Batman 3" (or "Gotham", which is what the writer said the film would be titled) casting rumours a couple of weeks ago - Eddie Murphy as The Riddler, Shia LaBeouf as Robin, Rachel Weisz at Catwoman - is sticking to his guns, or rather, wonky report.

Despite Warner Bros publicly slamming the hard-to-believe rumours, stating that the film's not even close to beginning its casting phase, Sun reporter Gordon Smart is still claiming there's truth to his story.

There's one thing going for Smart's story - he did announce the casting of Daniel Craig as the new James Bond a wee bit before anyone else did.

"Everyone had a crack at us when we published that one," Smart tells The Guardian. "I was almost laughed out of conference that day, but it turned out to be spot on. I wish I had had a bet on it."

Is it possible his Batman story has an ounce of truth to it?

FUCK no! but power to the man for standing by his story.

  8. Whoooooa, Robin is good for cartoons, and that's where he should stay. Anyway 'the Beef' is nowhere near Batman material unless he plays a 2 second cameo as a murder victim.

  18. i cant wait to see "Gotham Knights" ;-) when it comes out with Jonny Depp ;-) as the riddler..but if they bring back the joker then idk it might suck because heath ledger not being him..he was the best acter for that role

    ReplyDelete
  19. NO Robin ('cause Bale would leave), NO Catwoman -certainly NOT Tyra Banks (WTF), just the Bale Batman and A villian, not two or three, that's part of the reason the original run got SO screwed up.

  20. do the movie death of robin

  21. the dark night movie was a good movie but it dident quite live up to the batman reputation and story line i have been a big fan of batman since i was 3 years old and the movie kind of disapointed me but i do hope the 3rd movie will live up to the batman standerds we all know and love.

    ReplyDelete
  22. oh also eddie murphy whould not make a good riddler because hes to much of a comeadian not a riddler type at all now jonny Deppt whould be a good riddler. also robin became nightwing only because he got to old to be robin any more thats why they brought in another more younger robian later. shlya buff whould make a great robin. just stop dissing robian!!!

  23. Robin......a wussy hero? Dumbass.... The first Robin turned into Nightwing who saved Bruce's and Batman's ass SEVERAL times throughout the years in the comics and is probably his most trusted ally. Nightwing is one of the most popular superheroes of all time and to include him in a Trilogy is fucking ownage.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Robin is a fucking little bitch, Batman does not need any help BEATING ASS. I would leave Robin out for good, leave him in a cartoon or something!!!!

  25. If anything they should reintroduce the Batcave and all those wonderful toys. It would be interesting to see Johnny Depp as the Riddler. No one expected Heath Ledger to be a great Joker so.... As far as Robin, it's a big mistake. Cat woman should be Megan Fox, but I heard a rumor that Philip Seymour Hoffman was considered to play the penguin? Johnny Depp yes, Megan Fox, possible, Hoffman don't do it.

  26. Make batman 3 + 4
    Batman get Robin, Robin dies in the end,
    Batman is hurt.
    Then Batman 4, where Robin is back as a Bad ass Robin that wants to kill everyone....
    So Robin kills a lot of criminals and everyone thinks theres a new hero, but theres only a siko that wants to kill Batman in the end. THE END

  28. i dont care how they put in the moive as long as christan bale dost stop being batman he is good.

  29. As of right now in the comic series. Robin(the first one-Dick Grayson) is Batman because Bruce Wayne died in Final Chrisis. The second Robin(Jason Todd) was beat to death by the Joker(so we thought. He came back as another enemy of Bruce.) the third Robin ,Tim Drake in his disbelief that Bruce is dead became Red Robin and devoted his life to finding him.(check out the return of Bruce Wayne a 6 part series and Red Robin an ongoing series.
    The fourth Robin is Bruce Waynes son Damien Wayne, who Talia Algul kept secret from Bruillyill he was Twelve. trained by the League of Assasins.

    Now. In The Dark Knight, the movie. Jim Gordon has a son and one or two daughters. In the comics he only has Barbra as a daughter who became the first Batgirl. The movie kind of hints at Gordons son. This makes me think they might have something up their sleeve with this character. Maybe Robin???
    It wouldn't be so bad as long as they actually used someone who is twelve. Look at the new karate kid movie. A kid can kick ass in a movie. Check out Frank Millers, Allstar Batman and Robin.

    I guess my point is. Robin can be done.
    But... It must be a young actor. I'm mean a twelve year old on a motor cycle. He'll yeah!!! Piss Batman off a little do something behind his back. Maybe almost get killed by the league of Assasins then by the end Bruce can retire Robin.
    at least do some little side story. In between the main story.

    The fans already had a hand in killing one Robin(Jason Todd).
    I'm willing to bet if the writers handle Robin the write way, all you Robin haters would change your mind. I mean come on!!! They did an awesome job with the Joker!!! Two Face!!! And Ra's!!!
    Hopefully when it comes out it blows your mind!!! Cause of your doubt that it could be done.

  30. i hate robin the old robin was good ya can never replace heath ledger as the joker though but cat
    catwoman and poision ivy is good or penguin

  31. wtf! how would a 8 or 12 year old boy running around kicking old mens asses make an already great batman any better?! people stop bitching, robin should never be in nola's batman. he belongs in dumbass cartoon. and megan fox is a whore, and an ugly one at that.

  32. What if Johnny Depp becomes the riddler, it'd be awesome... For Robin, Nolan is not the kind to bring such pussy into his movie.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I heard Lance Bass was gonna be Robin and secretly blow Batman at night in the Batcave and, eventually, suck him off so much that Batman has no manhood left and gets his ass kicked by Alfred.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Robin was actually a girl in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (graphic novel) and as far as current Batman, there are two: both Dick Grayson (formerly known as Robin and Nightwing) and Bruce Wayne. Grayson handles Gotham, Wayne handles THE FUCKING WORLD.

    So yes, Robin does turn out to be a badass. But that's further down the story ark... which they've already fucked up. Batman creates the Joker, who gets thrown into a vat of chemicals when he's running around as the Red Hood. He's not just some random person. Batman makes the Joker(kinda poetic). They won't throw in Robin in this series, but I think they will make Wayne realize that he can't be Bruce Wayne - like this Rachel character, who doesn't belong in this fucking DC behemoth, tells him in the first. Bruce Wayne is the mask, the Goddamn Batman is who he is.

    But dear god, even though the movies are done well, Nolan BUTCHERS the Batman universe. Man needs to srsly do his research next time.

  35. The best part about the new series is that the villans could acctually be real... and for the most part the story could be real... I mean is all fake it batman but heaths joker could of been a real guy and so could of scare crow... the seires befor were so off the wall that it got old i hope that if they do bring in more villans/sidkicks that there beliveable and not off the wall arnold/freeze bullshit... Like penguin he could be a real guy that was deformed at birth and pissed at the world. Or the riddler a pychopath genuis that wants to destroy gotham but poison ivy and cat woman dont really fit into the new series of villans

    ReplyDelete
  36. Didn't Two-Face kill Robin's family? And at the end of Dark Knight, Harvey Dent dies... So are they going to have another TwoFace or he magically comes back to life? so they kind of ruined the possiblity of having a Robin?

  37. Jennifer Garner should play Catwoman. She won two Golden Globes for the action drama Alias. She has a serious demeanor that is perfect for Christopher Nolan's dark take on the Batman franchise. And, unlike many actresses that have been suggested for the role, Jennifer has the talnet to portray BOTH sides of the character; Catwoman as well as the mousy secretary Selina Kyle. She'd be a good match for Christian Bale. It's a brilliant idea.

    ReplyDelete
  38. You know, if Jennifer Garner did play Catwoman...she'd probably win an Oscar.

  39. Well, Johnny Depp would be my first choice for the Riddler. He would make the character very dark, almost similar to the Joker. My second choice would be James Franco. They've both been rumored for the role.

    ReplyDelete
  40. whenever they bring the Joker Back "Jim Carrey" should play him.

  41. i agree jim carry was an amazing riddler and for the whole robin coming back thing i think it could make a good movie its just the actor and how they portry him in the movie. catwoman probibly shouldnt be in the movie at all shes not that interesting at all shes about only good to look at eddie murphy would not make a good riddler hes a funny guy but the riddler has seriousness in his funny riddles i dnt think eddie would be able to do the seriouse part
