Can we say HELL NO?

The Sun UK is reporting that Eddie Murphy has signed to play The Riddler with Shia LeBeauf signed on to play Robin in the next Batman movie.

Considering this is coming from a UK tabloid, I have absolutely no faith in this rumor. Christopher Nolan has already said they don't even have a script yet and even if they did, that's the LAST two actors they'd choose for those roles. Besides, this Batman franchise doesn't NEED a Robin. 

I love when the media is so blatantly wrong.

Nolan's said there wasn't going to be a Robin this time around, anyway.

Yep I know, which makes the article even funnier because they're so dead wrong. My parents were like "OMG It's true it's on the internet!" and I told them flat out it wasn't a fact till I see it in Variety or the Hollywood Reporter.

Even then it can be a rumor. I don't believe it until I see it in an official trailer. :)

I wish such level of lying was in effect for that filthy craphead Stepehn Norrington remaking the first Crow movie. Filthy filthy filthy...

True, but still, when has Hollywood ever said "no, let's not add that, it doesn't NEED to be there"?

I love 'Net rumor.
